Thank you. I've gotten stuck with this. Someone said, in so many words, buck up and move on. That's what I'm trying to do. I will try. Thank you for your kind review and five stars. They are truly appreciated.

Moving on is easier said than done. We all do it when the time is right for us.

Great writing and very healing :) Love the artwork!
A lot of us carrying burdens from our past. They will somehow always be a part of who we are today. Although, we must find the strength to not let it define who we truly are. God created us to be good and loving. If we let the demons take control, we are not being what He created us for.
I really enjoy reading your thoughts, feelings, and the strength you find to overcome the negative. It's a struggle most of us deal with every day. Please know, you are not alone.
You're always in my prayers. Thank you for being the person you are, and for giving me and many others encouragement.
Your fan,
Shana :)

Absolutely gorgeous write. I had a similar experience. Your piece captures many angles of your personal journey and, at the same time, answers many questions to those still seeking the answers. Thank you for sharing this. I hope many will be able to absorb its message. God Bless

Oh wow, thank you SO much!!! Seriously, what a blessing your review is to my heart. I agree with you and say, AMEN! I pray it will help others also.
I am so honored at the six stars. I get how precious they are. Thank you, thank you. Blessings on you
Comment from Bill Pinder
I really appreciate the sincerity and hunger for God, health and truth that expressed in this writing. I understand completely the struggle of forgiving yourself after being treated cruelly. That is so true that God wants us to forgive ourselves and go forward with greater grace. That is a great line about the wicked committing slow suicide. Scripture tells us that we don't have to be concerned about what they are doing. God is the ultimate judge and he will take care of us, and in the long run they will reap what they have sown. Thanks for sharing this excellent writing with the words of spiritual encouragement. Bill

Oh Bill, this is so sweet. Thank you for the six stars. I know how precious they are to give out. I am humbled. :)
But more than the six stars, I am happy that you see my heart in my writing. I know I share the struggles but that shows Gods grace all the more. Have a blessed day, my friend.

I"m so glad to send a happier chapter. :) It feels good to be in a happier place. I always know God is with me in this journey. I just wish I could stay on the mountain tops all the time and not go into the valleys. But in the valley, that's where healing takes place. It makes the mountain tops even higher and more enjoyable. Heaven's going to be so great isn't it! Hugs
Comment from Darlene Franklin
Oh, a miracle occurred indeed, freeing you to move forward. Thank you sharing!
I loved that reading of the psalm. Which version is it (you probably should tell us)
Word of warning: I'm not sure about the law in putting up scripture in a venue like this. But if you're seeking publication on a broad scale, a word of warning. But I'm looking into extensively for a book I'm writing. The scripture can't be more than 25% of what you've written/
Having said that, I can understand why you wanted to include. How can you restate something so powerfully put in the Word of God? We can't. What you wrote was beautiful, describing what God said to you that day and how it changed you.

Thank you for getting God's heart for us and how he ministered to me with that Psalm. IF I ever get published, I'm sure we will take a look at that and many other things. But for now, this is my healing journey. I'm writing out my emotions as I go through this difficult time in my life. I want to show how God is always near, even when He seems far away. I'm so glad you stopped by to read and review. I hope to see you again. Blessings to you. :)

Beautiful to hear.

"Come Spend Time with Me"
This reminds me of a story I heard in a church by these two guys.
(The Vineyard Church in Tom's River, New Jersey)
...
The church is basically a place for people with a dick to problems even the minister is recovering alcoholic.
The first person talked while the second listened.
He talked of a Time when he's lost faith did not believe in Christ anymore...
...
I know that is true because I know how that feels.
(After I lost my son and then my wife 8 months later)
...
And yes, I cursed Christ every time I woke up!
Each and every morning for over 2 years!
..
He says he fell asleep as if in a dream or nightmare while he was smoking a cigarette in his share.
..
All of a sudden, he hears this voice and smells that smell!
And, the whole ceiling in his house opens up in flames!
...
Again he hears a voice but much louder and it says...
'Do you believe me now?'
He wakes up just in time as his chair was catching on fire!
...
I look at this as a message, and almost an out-of-body experience, to save this poor suffering man's life.
Yes, that he was contemplating taking!
...
This well written piece reminded me of that.
Thanks,
Doctor Ricky 1024

I'm so glad you enjoyed this. What a powerful story. Thank you for sharing that with me.
God is very active in our lives. He is in the process of revealing that to me as I look back on a lot of harm in my life. He is a great healer. Nothing is wasted. What the enemy meant for harm, God will turn for good.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. How you go through that, I just don't know? But God is faithful. It was good to learn more about you, Dr. Ricky. I'm happy to see you here again, reading my work. Thank you.:)
