Bonefire! Sharing our Stories...Releasing our Fire!
We all have a story. But did you know that no one can tell your story the way that you do? Did you know that others are "dying" to hear your story? We all have experiences that make us remember why we don't like certain foods or why we hang onto certain habits. It's the reason many of us hate the dark. It's the reason we hate to sleep because sleep brings with it, the ghosts of our violated past. Freedom only comes when we no longer allow those memories to hold us captive by keeping us silent.
Now, it is time to walk in freedom's light! It's time to tell your story and shout from the mountain tops how the angels lifted you out of harm's way and how God parted the Red Sea of trials and stopped the advance of your enemies. It's time to release that fire that is shut up in your powerful bones and live!!!!
We invite you to share your story so others can live. We invite you to share your story so others can see the beauty and power of survival.
Go ahead! Submit that story and release that fire shut up in your bones!
