“A couple of years ago my childhood trauma came to ahead. I felt abandoned and turned my back on everything and everyone I loved, including God. He was gracious to me.
I wanted a transactional escape from my pain, depression, and anxiety. God is not transactional though, he’s relational.
I began my journey of restoration. As we approached 2020 I was positive that this would be a phenomenal year, only to find myself with more problems, more issues, and more unrest.
2020 has been a difficult year… I have found myself in immense pain over the past couple of months from the effects of the pandemic to the perpetuation of injustice and racism in America.
As I navigate my struggles, I am realizing that restoration is ongoing. It’s not a season, it’s a lifestyle. Restoration is choosing to walk with God continually as you walk through a world with deep-rooted, damaged flesh.
Yes, I’m tired. Yes, I’m hurt. Yes, I’m fighting for hope every day. If I’m honest, some days I’m just trying not to go off the deep end.”
