Thank you, Gwen. I haven’t been on the blog much because I’m finishing up another writing project. Reading your words are such an encouragement. Blessings to you!

Kelli, what an encouragement. I pray you are doing well — not necessarily because of a change in circumstance but because our God is so faithful to meet us in the midst of today.

Thank you, Sarah. I’ve been in my writing cave for the last week or so trying to finish up a project so I haven’t been on the blog. But it’s good to hear from you. And yes. More of Him, less of me. Amen, sister.

It’s always SO relevant to my life that it’s startling. You are reaching many! Thank you for allowing God to work through you!

I lived a long hard life of abuse and moving from family to family or I could say from one abuse to another. I always wondered what I had done to deserve this. I was young emotionally alone and carrying the burden of an adult. At the age of 13 I became brave and I decided that people were not going to defeat me so I grew up, got married at 19 and had children. Now my children are having children. My daughter adopted a young boy she had been a foster parent to.
It was scary how much his life paralleled mine and one day I heard myself say to him the same thing I said to myself along time when I was his age. For all those years I said why me why me what did I do, it was really God saying I will make you strong to help those who have not yet come. My version became “pull up your big girl pants and get on with your life.” It all seems to be the perspective, I have a diagnosis of PTSD and I have flash back and days of depression and certain places, things and types of people terrify me but I know it is life and with God all things are possible.
I do want to say that I have been married 43 years to a wonderful, soft, caring man who is there when I need him but does not baby me. He reminds who I am and what God expects from me. I know this is long but Thank you for letting me share.

My life is little, but my God is so big. May my stance always be more God, less Sarah. May I use this little life to give Him glory, not myself. He is so worthy.

I’m so thankful that you write, Lara. So. Thankful.
