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.

2 Cor.4:6)

Emerge…to rise from.

Shatter the glass of any

negative in your past,

remove the burden carried

upon your back.

Cut the rope from

around your neck

that’s attempting to

choke your reality.

Stand with Hope & Truth,

to face all trials with dignity.

Breathe deep the fragrance

of Sweet Victory.

Stand up and know

exactly who you are,

Lift your head my Sister

and no longer look down.

For a Virtuous Woman is

Emerging from within.

Fear kept

me bound

to circumstances

that stripped

me of my

self-worth.

Awareness,

of the need

to change

my perspective,

opened up

my ability

to love

myself.

Belief in

who He is,

bought my

freedom.

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.💗

In times of difficulty, I am learning to lean into Faith instead of fear, trusting God as I grow closer to Him in the process.

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.

For so long, I had fought against the lies that had kept me bound to feeling unworthy. But now I know the truth and learning to apply it daily as I continue to renew my mind and change my life according to His Truth.
