I am healing from…
My childhood pain
Events that happened
As a teenager
Young adult
My 20’s and beyond
To current day
This age
In my life
I am healing from…
Pain caused by others
I am healing from…
Pain inflicted upon myself
I am healing from…
Old mindsets
Old beliefs
Old ways
Old visions
Those things
Which held me captive
Had a strong hold on me
I am healing from…
Burdens carried for far too long
The weight of
Damage done
Physically, mentally spiritually, psychologically too
Years taken from me
Years taken from my life
Oh, how I am working to improve
Who it is
He
Has called me to be
Knowing
Whose daughter
I am
I am the daughter
Of
The Most High God
I know
I was born for greatness
Never
Will He leave me
Always
By my side
With me
My
Guiding light
Giving me
HOPE
Showing me
There is a way!
In spite of
The darkness
The storm
The fight or flight mode
He
Knows how
To
Turn every situation
Around
When times are tough
When life seems to be too much
Overwhelmed
Discouraged
Confused
In fear
I question
I do
(I really try not to!)
My purpose
In life
Is this where I need to be?
Feelings of failure
Feeling like giving up
(That’s way too easy of an option so I don’t!)
I know
Deep within my soul
Even though
I may be going through
Uncertain times
Darkness of days
My Father
He
Has something better in store
Something
Specially designed for me
Don’t lose sight of
Don’t lose hope
Don’t forget His love
I know
He takes
Such delight
In ME!
I AM HEALING
He brought this thought
To
My attention
He reminded me
Of this
Through
Difficult conversations
Outpouring cry
Tears
Heartache
Pain
Confusion
My perception
My reality
Oh
Such agony I felt
Was it me?
Was it the world?
Was it other people?
Was it stress?
Was it related to my profession?
Was it my hormones?
A combination of so many things (I do believe)
I know how great
His love is
For me!
I know
How much
He loves me
That
I am truly blessed!
I doubted myself
My wounded
My damaged
Body
Mind
Soul
Old truths
Old beliefs
Old versions of myself
I bled
On other people
With
My old wounds
A mindset
A soul
Not yet
Fully healed
Not intentionally
Unknowingly
Many things
Have come to
The forefront
The foreground
Of
The mind
Moving forward
Moving on
With an awareness
Knowing
I am loved
Regardless
Of my old mindset
Of my old beliefs
Of the old version of myself
There is forgiveness
There is healing
Thank goodness
God provides
God Bless
Those
Who have remained
By my side!
Guardian Angels!
Servants!
Certainly not slaves!
I know
I have what it takes
To grow
To become
A better version of myself
Inside
To those
Who
Help keep me grounded
Are there
Are present
Regardless of the version
Of myself
That’s revealed
Discovered
Good
Bad
Happiness
Sad
Thunderstorms
Rain showers
Cloudy skies
Sunshine
When
I feel like
I have lost it
Or
Have gone insane
(Not really, but the intensity of it, is there.)
Many things
Have happened in my life
Still
Working through many things
Now
Until this present moment
Day
Perfect Storms
They do exist
I can speak from experience
YES!
Winning combinations
(so to speak)
Conditions
Stressors in life
Making life
More difficult to navigate
To travel through
Rough roads
Rough terrain
Rough seas
While experiencing
Big emotions
Some times
I feel ashamed
A loss of
A lack of control
My inner child
Screaming
Wailing
Wanting to be heard
Wanting attention
Wanting to be let out
Wanting to be released
Wanting me to let go
STOP HOLDING ON!
My soul
Needed a release
A chance
To be heard
Validated
Accepted
And so much more…
Was it ugly?
YES
(I bawled my eyes out!)
Was it messy?
YES
(My tears went everywhere!)
Was it uncomfortable?
YES
(I was curled up on the floor-feeling insecure, vulnerable!)
Words
Feelings
Emotions
Everything poured out
After the release
I felt
Exhausted
Fatigued
Empty
Had a loss of appetite
Recovering
From such a strong emotional experience
Takes time
To recover from
My hope
Upon having this experience
Is
For my mind
To become unstuck
To let go of old beliefs
To let go of old habits
To let go of old mindsets
To let go of old memories
To accept the past for what it was
To let go of things that happened
To let go of the connections my mind makes
Today is a new day
To be present
To be mindful
To be more aware
Form new habits
Release negativity and comparison
(even though I didn't realize I was comparing)
Maintain a positive attitude
Everyone
Is their own individual
Is their own unique self
Even though
Characteristics
Habits
Mannerisms
May be similar
Not fair
To treat all of them the same
Old habits
Are hard to break
Especially
Old thought processes
Old mind sets
Old ways of thinking
Beliefs
About the world
About oneself
Breaking free
From the emotional bondage
My past
I prefer
To travel lighter
The baggage
I have carried
Has cost me too much!
With such freedom
One can take flight
No limits
The moon
The stars
The Milky Way
The galaxy
God
He will help me
He will help you
Find a way
He is my Heavenly Father
He is my Guardian
He is my Protector
He is my Shield
He is my Teacher
He is who I turn to in my daily life, living
Helping me to understand
Reminding me once again about who I am
I AM HIS DAUGHTER
I know that He will bring me through
Every storm
Every trial
Every hardship
Confusing moments
Overwhelming times
Not yet healed…
My life continues…
Moving forward
Moving on
By His grace
With His love
I will have become
HEALED
In my own timing
Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
