Free To Be Me By... Francesca Battestelli

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt

(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though

(Chorus) x2
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

You're free to be you.

Share your testimony with us.
I was born a rape baby in 1988. My mother married the man I had come to accept as my father when I was 3 . My baby sister was born a few months later in March. 2 months and 6 days after my 4th birthday, our apartment caught on fire. My sister, stepdad, and I managed to get out, in no small part because of my mother. She died saving my life. The years went by and when I was 10 my best friend took me to church with her and I started going regularly, though I didn't really understand it. I met my DH there and we started dating on and off shortly thereafter. At the age of13 I decided that I was going to live with my grandparents and Josh and I stopped going to church. Shortly after that, Josh and I got serious and started " going steady". We practically lived together and then we actually did live together on our own during my junior and part of my senior year. After I graduated, Josh's mom asked us to attend this little church that she had been going to for the last couple of weeks and we grudgingly obliged. That night, we both came to accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior. We lived in sin for a few more months, until I turned 18 and 6 days later we got married and repented again and truely became believers. We are still at that church only it isn't so little as it used to be, praise the Lord!!!
Do you have any prayer requests?
For my and my husbands jobs and financial situation. My dad and my sisters and my brothers salvation. The president and troops . My Cousins. My Aunts and Uncles. My Church Family. My Pastor and His family. My Church's Financial problems, My BFF Amber and her health.

Joy

Wow! God is great!!! I have been reading and studying about the end times and I am filled with such joy that words cannot express!!!! It is amazing just how many of the prophecies have the potential of fulfillment right now. All that is stopping the tribulation from happening is the church. I feel like the Rapture could happen at any moment and it is an amazing feeling of relief that fills me when I think about that blessed hope that our Lord has offered us. I don't understand how sinners surviv… Continue

Leaping

I took the leap the other day and asked God to forgive me for straying and also for not coming back as soon as I should have. I know that He has forgiven me. It feels good. Knowing that I have the assurance of His love even if I do stray and don't come back right away. I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning's service. I know that I still have a ways to go but He'll be there to guide me and correct me if I start to go wrong. Well, it's late and I had better go to bed because tomorrow is a big da… Continue

PRAISE REPORT The church got inspected a month or so ago and it was determined that our boiler system was not up to code. We had to shut of the heat and cut some services so that we could keep within guidelines. Fixing a boiler system can get expensive and we were short on money. This past week, a friend who pastors a church in Indiana sent our pastor a check for a "substantial " donation. It is enough to get the boilers fixed. Also, we might be starting the youth center back up! Praise the Lord

Thanx for your prayers everyone. My pastor is now home full time. He was driving semi for the churchs trucking company because there were repairs that needed to be payed off before they could think of signing on another driver. Well once the repairs were finished there wasn't any drivers that worked out with what was needed so he keep on. Now there is a good driver on each truck and Wendell is home full time !!!! AMEN

Hi Amber if I would have logged on and responded to you comment on Friday I would not have know what you meant by "you're not ready yet" but I'm there now (ha ha ha). WE NEED TO DO IT SOON. Tomorrow is not promised, and I know I have my fair share of confessions to do. I’ll pray for you (and I) tonight that God will wait patiently for us. God Bless!
