Forgiveness - Not A One Time Deal

Forgiveness is a whole lot harder than I thought it would be. I thought it would be just a one time thing, but it's not. I'm finding out I'm having to talk to God constantly to guide me and help me. In the moments I want to just scream and be angry, I'm realizing I need to turn to God and say "God, I'm still angry, I'm still hurting. But, I want to forgive him. I want to find peace. Help me." I'm finding in my moments of not being able to do anything else, I can at least talk to God about how hard it is.

I'm still angry. I still hurt. I'm still ashamed. And I'm still turning to God for help.

& that's where I'm at right now.

Taking back my life one lil step at a time

Happy Monday, you fearless readers! I had fallen into a deep depression, but I have clawed my way out and I'm ready to continue taking back my life one little step at a time!

Fearlessly and Joyfully, Katie💗💗💗💗

Ashley's Story

Thank you Ashley for being so brave! Love you. " Hello, my name is Ashley and I am 19 years old. I am writing to you all today to tell my story, thanks to the wonderful creators of this page. One of them happens to be my best friend :) My mom has always been verbally abusive. As I was growing up I struggled with learning how to respect my mom because she would always say things to hurt me and my way of defending myself was talking back. Others found it offensive and still do. They believe that every child should respect their parents. I do agree with that but it is hard to do when you are a victim in the relationship. Sometimes some people are opinion based on the old fashion morals and beliefs that every child should respect their parents. Those same people either blind themselves from witnessing a verbal attack or they don't care. My grandmother, my father’s mom, lived with us until she got sick and had to live with my aunt in Reno when I was 8. She raised me more than my ...

Being fearless is a daily choice

So today, another song, one -he- claimed to be our song came on the radio. First instinct is to say "I hate this song!" And turn it off.... Well, I was starting to do that when I made ANOTHER choice to not let him win. I turned the song, and even though I don't particularly like that song anymore anyway, I want it to be on my own terms. Today I chose fearlessness in regards to a song. Today, I won! -Katie
