Change of Focus

| Laura Lee Bonde

Last week, I was at a church service, and a young missionary was sharing about all the miraculous things God had done while on this trip. This person was listing off hundreds of miracles, signs, and wonders: blind eyes seeing, deaf ears hearing, salvations, etc., and then from the congregation, someone yelled out if any dead were raised. There was a slight pause. Since then, God’s had much to say about that. Continue reading →

To Find the Heart

| Laura Lee Bonde

The scenery on the road of my perspective has changed multiple times and will keep changing, but recently, God has revealed to me one area of my life where it has changed dramatically: the way I see men.

Even through sobriety (and my beginning years of being a “Christian” woman), I would look for men I would sleep with. I never saw their heart, only their appearance. Continue reading →

“Whispers Of Freedom”

| Laura Lee Bonde

Soft
Words
Spoken over me
Soft
Words
Making me free
Soft
Words
Spoken over me
Soft
Words
Release His Kingdom from me

No excuse to live in bondage
No excuse to live in sin
No excuse to lose the fight
Cuz Jesus died for me to win

Do you hear His voice call out
Do you hear Him say your name
Do you look to Him to step
Or live your life as one big game

There’s a way to move
Inside His heart
There’s a way to listen
And do your part

Just hear His voice
And listen

Soft
Words
Spoken over me
Soft
Words
Making me free
Soft
Words
Spoken over me
Soft
Words
Reveal His Kingdom to me

A Wife to Remember

| Laura Lee Bonde

Earlier this week, Scott took me and the kids to the Navy Exchange and the Commissary to, pretty much, buy us whatever we wanted (within reason). Up until this point, it had been very hard to “receive” from him, and while we were walking through the parking lot, I was reminded why.

As the kids were goofing off, Scott and I were walking side-by-side, and I experienced one of those “moments” of deja vu, only this moment reminded me of who I USED to be. I was a horrible wife, and as I remembered back, I felt myself ready to fall apart. Continue reading →

A Step to Know

| Laura Lee Bonde

Most of you know that my ex-husband was in town and had been staying with us for over a week. The way he took care of us all was simply amazing: treating us out to eat all the time; a couple trips to Sam’s Club; Disneyland; trips to different stores, etc. We all spent a lot of good time together, and then on Tuesday, he took the little ones to buy new clothes for school.

As we were out and about shopping, God had a few things on His list for me to do. At the first store we went to in the mall, a young lady was working…all tatted out. The print and colors on her shirt matched one of her tattoos very well, so I commented on it. She said, “Yeah,” giggled, and kept on walking past. As she walked away, God began to speak to me about her. Continue reading →
