In the first week of the “Haunted House” series, Pastor Nate Gagne’s wife, Michelle, speaks about not letting your past & the heritage you were born or adopted into dictate your future. Michelle shares about her childhood & the legacy from her father of always giving up. It was when God called her to go back to school at age 22 with a husband & 2 small boys at home that she found a story she could relate to. In John 9, Jesus helps the blind man by giving him a seemingly impossible task; go to a river, wash your face, you’ll see. To us, that sounds impossible, as this man has been blind since birth & likely cannot easily navigate to a river. However, he took Jesus at His word & his sight was gained. In Michelle’s story, she trusted Jesus to bring her through & is now graduating with a Master’s degree, in a field helping people with some of the issues that impacted her family life growing up. God has a plan to bring us freedom & purpose, but we have to get out of the mindset that we screwed up or our parents screwed us up, or else we’ll never get up & walk toward His promises.
