Picking Up The Broken Pieces

I have decided not to let my past hurt me any longer. For so long the feelings of doubt, anxiety, fear, and brokeness plagued me. I was always afraid to let anyone in to how I was truly feeling, due to rejection and the deep scars that my birth parents had left me with. Satan was constantly attacking my mind making me feel worse, and making me feel like everything was my fault. Now I know that the devil is out to kill me! I realized, through a very close mentor, that holding on to the past, and letting those emotions plague me was causing me to be chained. I want to be free from the chains and ask God for strenghth to endure the past and the emotions that I carry.


Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free. ― Thich Nhat Hanh, Heart of Buddha's Teaching

    God is taking me through a season of healing. He wants me to learn to trust him with my life, and seek him with my whole heart. I am amazed by how He gently calms and brings peace to me when I feel empty and there is nothing left. At my school chapel last week, the pastor preached on 1 Peter 5:7, " Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you". The message really helped me to see that Jesus wants me to lay my burdens at his feet and he will take care of me. How blessed I am to serve a God who is so powerful, loving, and forgiving. Know I want to have faith to lay my past at Jesus feet and trust that he will take care of the rest.
