I am not a professional counselor or a doctor. I am not a theologian who knows my bible from front cover to back cover. I do not claim to ‘know it all’ or have all the answers, and in many people’s opinion I may be wrong. This blog has been a way for me to possibly help someone else who is going through a similar experience that I have already walked through. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and has been a means of healing for me too. It has helped me to dive deeper into my relationship with Jesus because I am seeking answers to these issues for myself too.
I will admit that I have absolutely no authority to speak out about anyone’s emotional state, their circumstances, or what they should or shouldn’t do in life. But what I do have is experience. Experience in many different areas in life in which I have struggled. I have had to dig myself out of many holes that I happened to be the one to dig myself into in the first place. I have failed as a mother more times than I can count and I have been a selfish, needy, insecure, angry wife twice as much as that.
I have been a woman who has had to learn to deal with my past in order to forge into my future. I have had to dig up old hurts, old wounds, old pain so that I may be healed from the baggage that has weighed me down. I have had to swallow my pride and admit my faults, my mistakes, and my sins to those closest to me. I have at times been consumed by shame, guilt, insecurity and I have had to ADMIT that I am weak.
So, please do not take anything I have written as an end all be all. I have learned in life that I need the Lord. I cannot imagine a life without God in it. To have someone who is always there with open ears, open arms, and love and comfort when it seems no one else is. To know I can find strength, peace, and hope in Him. That is what I hope to share and hope to encourage others to want to find. There is nothing more satisfying and amazing than a relationship with Jesus. God bless all!!!
