Just a post to let you see how God works in our lives..

I had a pretty difficult session with God this morning. He revealed a root in my heart that He needed to pull out. That stupid root from when I was once again shown that I was not chosen or cherished. A time when someone very close to me, whom I loved deeply, said they “just loved” something about another person, yet would often criticize the same characteristic in me. Their words imprinted in my spirit that I wasn’t good enough to be chosen (preferred) or enjoyed. Once again.

Satan lies to us over and over. Those lies become a well-traveled thought highway of devastation. I know it hurt because I remember the incident and feelings of betrayal to this day, decades later.

I thought it had been dealt with. That God had healed that hurt. But lately He has been going even deeper with me, revealing and removing more layers. He wants me fully restored. When Holy Spirit brought this incident to my mind today I instantly burst into tears–a sure sign there’s work to be done.

He told me He wanted to remove the root that left me hurting and believing lies. So I allowed Him to do His work. It left me feeling raw.

But, my heavenly Father, with His overwhelming and extravagant love for me, and minute attention to the details of my life (as with all of us) gave me this as a sign of that love. I pulled this plate out of the cupboard where it should have been dry and saw this water spot heart. I no longer wonder how. I just stand in awe and receive.

These are my stories—my life. I try to write honestly, raw, and from my heart. I try to tell all the parts—the good, the hard, the tough, the hopeful, and the emotional. But most importantly, I am here to be found by you. I am open-hearted, and I won’t hide. When I share my story, my words, and my experiences you may see yourself in them. I make myself vulnerable, hoping that you might learn and heal. We all need healing. The world can be cruel. Sometimes life can break us. But there is joy and hope to be found. I pray that I may lead you to the One who can give them to us. So, who am I? *I’m an educator at heart–it’s in my blood. *I’m a highly emotional person–I identify that as “passion”. *I’m a late-life mom to two amazing and beautiful (adopted) children who have physical, mental, and psychological differences from “typical” children. *I’ve lived a lot. I’ve learned a lot. And I’ve healed a lot. I hope you will join me in my quest to live for God, to live fully, and to spread truth!
