Coming to terms with my brokenness has not always been easy. It’s not always easy to admit that I am weak and hurting at times.

Titus Two has shared a post that I’ve written, titled Healing Your Hurt Through Forgiveness. Please visit their website to read more!
“I don’t think she is going to make it into that school.” The words echoed over and over in my head. Was she right? I couldn’t stop thinking about how she felt about me and if her words were accurate. She was my teacher. I trusted her and thought she believed in me, but when […]
Is it hard for you to say “no”? It’s hard for me too. Sometimes it feels like I am trapped in a vicious cycle of agreeing to everything with no way out. I get deeply hurt because I feel like I’ve lost my choice, and end up disappointed in myself for failing to do it […]

Having to forgive; releasing your anger and bitterness; and being humble before the Lord, admitting your need for his help, can lead […]

I thought we were friends. It never occurred to me that maybe she didn’t think of me that way. I never expected that she viewed me differently. We talked often when we saw each other, and made plans to hang out. Even shared our struggles from time to time. I appreciated her and those moments […]
