Jeremiah 18:4
But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

My life is that damaged clay, and God is forming it into a new vessel, with a new purpose as seems best to Him.

This is my story

No More Secrets…

None of us can escape the effect that evil has on our lives and the trauma it brings along with it.

The enemy of our souls wants us to endure the impact alone and suffer silently in the dark so we can never recover. But God wants to help us overcome our hardships within a loving community so He can heal us and bring purpose from our pain. It’s time to expose the enemy’s intentions so we can spotlight how God is working, helping, and moving us forward in His redemptive plan.

Read Stories of Hope shared by women who have faced trauma. Their stories offer encouragement and hope that God is still there, even in the darkness.

God is close to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18b

You may be wondering…

Forgiveness. It’s a process, it’s fiercely difficult, but can be a gift that changes your heart. Forgiveness is a command from God, but it takes time and doesn’t come overnight. Because it is a command, we are to follow that command with obedience. To forgive doesn’t mean we approve of the offense and it doesn’t mean the memories will instantly disappear. It means that you have obeyed God’s command to speak forgiveness over the person who has offended you, given your hurt and pain over to a God who saw it all and rested in the fact that He will heal your hurt. From the inside out. Because He is faithful.

God is omnipresent (everywhere). God is omniscient (knows all). Nothing escapes him, and nothing goes unnoticed. He is there – he may be silent for a season, but he is there. His plan is bigger than our minds can fathom, and His purpose is multifaceted. Evil runs rampant in the world, not by God’s design but caused by sin. Trauma will happen. Satan uses it to try and weaken, sidetrack or destroy us but in the end – God will triumph and use that same trauma to bring glory to himself and to help others walking that same road. Trust him. Cling to him and ask God to teach you how he can bring triumph from your trauma. He will. In His time.

Hurt? Yes. Bruised? Without a doubt. But unusable? Absolutely not. You are highly favored by a God who loves you and will use your brokenness for his service.
All throughout God’s word are people who are broken and consider themselves unusable and unvalued by the world’s standards. But God, in his infinite watchful wisdom, used their brokenness to create a softness and empathy for a ministry that would not be possible if not for that bruising. The dark times in our lives produce a spiritual depth that is only possible through the lessons learned in trials. We get to experience God in a way that isn’t possible if we lead a perfect, problem-free life. Allow God to use your brokenness to create a unique story, using your distinct gifts for His purpose. This is a way to give the enemy a kick in the teeth because with God, what was meant to weaken or destroy you can be used to enhance the power of your testimony and used for God’s kingdom work.

The impact of hearing “no” is dependent upon your perspective. When a parent says “no” to a child they are in protection mode. “No” you can’t play in the street. “No” you can’t eat the whole cake and “No” you can’t go off with those friends. It’s for your good and your protection. Because they know best and they love you. God is no different. He sees all – the past, the present and the future. He sees motives of other people and he knows the plans that he has for you. He has your best interest and his glory in the
forefront of His mind. When God says “no” – it may sting for a bit but remember that he said it because he loves you.

Dealing with infertility as a believer is difficult. The emotional rollercoaster is real. So many questions: why me? Why would God not bless me with a child? What about the women who aren’t good mothers but have children? When do I give up? How far should I go in trying? The questions are endless and the answers hard to find. But…God is sovereign and even though it’s hard to swallow – God has a plan. The typical path to Motherhood may not always be God’s view for your life. Trust Him. Trust His plan. He sees you.
