From Broken to Whole
4 years ago started the downward spiral of the worst year of my life. It also uprooted something in me that I never knew existed. I tell the gory, unforgettable (yet wish-I-could-forget) details to shed some light on the darkest moments of who you would expect to be the happiest, life-of-the-party person’s life. Like mostContinue reading “From Broken to Whole”
I’m Finally Safe
I have taken a break from writing for some time. That never really goes well for me considering I am a person who processes all things—good or bad—through the compilation of words on a journal/screen. Things start to make sense, and it is one of my favorite ways to connect with God, especially through theContinue reading “I’m Finally Safe”
Imagine the Unimaginable
Close your eyes and imagine yourself in your favorite place where you feel coziest and most comfortable. Invite the Lord in; that is where He wants to be—WITH you. Now imagine yourself in your deepest and darkest places of your story. Invite the Lord in as well. He still wants to be WITH you. ThatContinue reading “Imagine the Unimaginable”
Emotional Takeover + Self-indulged Behavior = Distress
Life has been a whirlwind of emotional takeover, and when I say takeover, I mean that I have been led by a rush of emotions, falling into things that are not what I hoped for my life at this time. Passing are my emotions and actions but steady is what God is. Never-changing, merciful, graciousContinue reading “Emotional Takeover + Self-indulged Behavior = Distress”
Flights are Confusing: Healing Can Be Found There
I feel extremely content and loved and seen when reading through God’s Word. I am in awe at the complexities of everything as I begin to dive into scripture. I get to enter into a world of renewing and beauty as I read through creation. I get lost in the pages and also in God’sContinue reading “Flights are Confusing: Healing Can Be Found There”
Hope in the Midst of Affliction
Hope in the Midst of Affliction Lamentations chapter 3 is geared towards Jeremiah’s mourning for the people of Jerusalem; these people were turning from God, therefore, causing destruction among themselves. Looking at my own life, I am way too familiar with causing self destruction. As I talked about in my last blog, as a human,Continue reading “Hope in the Midst of Affliction”
Human Error
Human error is scary yet inevitable. It’s even scarier when we deliberately make the decisions that will lead to destruction. Repeating a cycle of wrongs and hoping for a different outcome is the most common mistake in my own life. Logically, it makes sense—of course doing wrong will end in the same consequential outcome. ItContinue reading “Human Error”
Goodness, Faithfulness, Grace, & Mercies
If you know me or have read my blogs, you know that I have seriously struggled in the area of mental health—so bad that I have been hospitalized for it and struggle constantly with self-harm and suicidal ideation. This has been a problem all my life, but within the last 5 years, its intensity increasedContinue reading “Goodness, Faithfulness, Grace, & Mercies”
It Gets Better
Life is not always painful, but it can feel that way. I know firsthand what it feels like to “enjoy” certain moments in life but be so pain-filled that it makes the enjoyable things painful too. I used to live every single day in pain. I stopped doing the things I once loved, and IContinue reading “It Gets Better “
