Instead of cursing the darkness…
She uncovered the secrets
that haunted her in the
middle of the night,
those undisclosed images
that had been safely tucked away
in the remote areas of her mind.
Instead of cursing the darkness…
she bravely faced the heaviness,
that laid dormant around the
very core of her being.
Instead of cursing the darkness…
she stood up to the lies,
that attempted to strip her
of her garments of truth.
Instead of cursing the darkness…
she denounced its permission
to define her worth.
Instead of cursing the darkness…
she lit a match,
and watched the
darkness flee.
(Let light shine out of darkness.

Healing from Trauma is a process…
Moving slow and steady as each layer of darkness is exposed to His light, I’m no longer masking, covering up or remaining silent as I am learning to trust the process of true healing and the work it takes to reclaim my life.💗

Words that are silenced are lethal….
Words that are silenced, are lethal secrets to destroy your soul. Speak your truth.
Many times it’s hard to remember the exact details of all the great memories that my Mom and I shared in my childhood. The confusion and pain of being sexually abused as a child, tried to overshadow the good times.
For so many years, I was afraid to tell anyone because I thought that they wouldn’t believe me. I blamed myself and carried the shame of those secrets.
When I was 40 years old, I told my Mom that I had been molested & raped as a teenager…and she believed me. She then asked me to forgive her for not protecting me.
I fell to the ground, as I weeped and screamed from the depths of my soul, every ounce of pain that had been confined was being released, as she quietly and lovingly held me.
She then, told me that she too was sexually abused as a child. This moment, yet painful was the beginning of much healing in our relationship.

Choosing to surrender…
Anxiety and fear had been a thief, literally stealing my joy. It jumbled up my thoughts, and caused my heart to race, leaving me with many sleepless nights and a just below the surface agitation that made me want to crawl out of my skin and run away.
The last two years have been life altering and I am learning what it means to release my need to control and to put my complete trust in God. There are good days and difficult ones, but I choose to take things, one step at a time, as I receive His peace.
Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give you. Not as the world gives. Don’t let your hearts be troubled and don’t be afraid.
