When you're hurt very badly in your childhood, the area that it has the greatest effect on is relationships. Once you feel like you can't trust people, once you feel like that they don't care about you, that they're really not going to take care of you, it gets very difficult in relationships.

Forgiveness is a CHOICE, not a feeling.

I have learned God doesn't always change those people we want Him to change; instead, He often uses them to change us.

It is really not what we have in our hand that gets the job done, but it is God's power filling what we have in our hand.

So what if you're not perfect? nobody else is either.

God's perfect, unconditional love and faithfulness are what brought me through all of the healing, restoration and breakthroughs I desperately needed so I could become what He created me to be!

We cannot stand through the storms of life based on someone else's faith. We must be fully assured in our own hearts and minds.
