Depth of Understanding
My last post was a vulnerable leap for me. There are some people who think I’m rushing into dating too fast after what I’ve been through. I get “be careful’s” and cautions. Reaching a Point of Acceptance I honestly had no intention of moving into another relationship for another 2-3 years. I had reached a […]
Each Person’s Healing Journey Is Unique
There are examples in scripture of people with accelerated healing or conversion experiences. We see the Saul/Paul conversion. There’s the many healing miracles of Jesus Christ. These expedited and intense healing journeys are not designed to make people feel bad whose healing takes years or a lifetime. They aren’t designed to make people feel like if they […]

Sometimes You Just Have to Feel Your Feelings
People tell me I should look on the bright side. That I’m better off without him. That he isn’t the one who is supposed to travel the next section of my life with me. Yes, I get that. I “know” a lot of things. I know I will forgive and move past this to a […]
Healing Through Writing
Writing is very cathartic for me as you can tell from my posts. It probably seems weird that I’m posting so much of my personal path through pain, but people are telling me they are benefiting from my raw vulnerability.
