Telling Like It Is

Funny how things go off the rails JUST WHEN you make a decision to take big actions.

That's not a coincidence.

Since I "left" yall in 2016, my experiences have been FULL of unreasonable amounts of adversity.

(This week has been no exception and it's only Wednesday for Pete's sake!)

I've been a single mom with a horrible, criminal level ex so I KNOW ABOUT ADVERSITY...

but this...the past 10 years...this was different.

This is how I see it. If a person believes in God (as I do), then by definition you have to know Evil exists (I don't gratify "it" with a name).

I have seen stuff and experienced stuff and heard stuff that would make your skin crawl, but these past 10 years have been a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of darkness.

What is it the Good Book says about refining fire and such? 365 times in that book God tells us to "fear not" (literally...365 verses...one for every day of the year).

Honestly, I haven't had "fear" really, but I have experienced severe defeat, depression, anger, frustration, and hopelessness.

But no matter what, I KNOW WHAT I KNOW and part of that is that GOD's GOT ME.

I've been given the honor of seeing God work on my behalf to keep abusive people away from me (family members, and former "friends"), and those I can't escape, He has humbled in my presence.

Not being boastful here - just trying to show the gritty side of what walking life as a Christian is really like. I didn't have to DO a thing other than what God led me to do or not do, and obey that (even when I wanted to punch people's lights out!).

I know many of your stories too, and I feel a burden for yall, in a good way, that I regret disappearing like I did.

But know this...it wasn't due to my WANT to vanish, it was due to GOD'S WORK he needed to have me do.

On some level, living where I do is like battling the Final Boss in a video game. I'm not done yet, and just like in a video game, you usually need help from other players to defeat the common FINAL enemy.

I hope you are ready, because if memory serves correct, we as a COMMUNITY were a force to be reconned with back in the day.

God's at work here - not in a preachy churchy judgey way - but in a boots on the ground, blood and sweat battle kind of way.

My hope for all of us is that through the fun, insight, and sharing we will do here in this community, that we will ALL come out on the other side stronger, wise, bolder, and more prepared to stand firm for our own, and stand in the fray for those who need us.

Buckle in...it's about to get wild.
