​There is still a voice in my head that has to speak to the little girl inside of me and remind her that she is not an accident, that she is not abandoned, that she is seen and loved. 

There are times when those emotions get stirred up more than others and this past weekend was one of them. Conversations that I have never had before with people about my past... good conversations, but still difficult to understand, brought back questions that I thought I had resolved and new questions that I never imagined to ask.

As I sat with these new thoughts, I found the tears rolling down my face were really the only means to communicate my heart to the Lord. They shared with God what my words would have only fumbled through. And He heard me. He comforted me. 

The pain and the sting isn't quite gone, but that's okay because through it I am able to hear a voice that is louder than my doubts. I can still hear the voice of God.

I have been struggling the last few weeks in leading a particular worship song at my events. I even told my husband "I am trashing this song because I just can't seem to get it right."

But, through this momentary trial, I know that now, as I sing this song, I will be singing it from a place that I would not have sung it before. I will be singing and leading from a place that has struggled, is struggling, yet still stands confidently in what God says about me.

"I am chosen, not forsaken, I am who He says I am"

I'm taking THAT thought captive and standing on the promises of God. "He is for me, not against me."

My friends, He is for YOU too. If you, like me, at times feel forgotten, abandoned and alone, can I just encourage you to cry out to God... scream out to Him... ask Him to remind you, by any means necessary, that you are loved.

Thanks for the encouragement that I am not alone in my struggle. That the Lord has not forsaken me but he holds me in the palms of his hand and nothing is able to snatch me away from him. I AM LOVED NY GOD.

God was leading you to a place to "fix" the song. Personal growth is difficult. We are on this journey to become better versions of ourselves and to fulfill our mission here. Thank you for sharing. Hugs!💜

Mia; You are a Warrior. Your story impacts many lives . I was not adopted but I did have a very hard childhood full of trauma; your words impacted me November 2,2019 when I attended an Aspire event. I was given a free ticket to that event from a lady I attend church with; I wasn't sure if I would actually attend as I live with social anxiety and have never attended something like this before. I am blessed that God has put on your heart to share your strength and struggles with us. These words get me through the rough moments.
God Bless you Mia.
I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am

My circumstances are different from yours. PTSD. Sometimes the struggle of battling feelings with God's truth seems overwhelming. It is a process. While learning how to overcome the temptation to give up trying, the Lord blessed me with a vision. I could see myself lying at the bottom of a deep pit. Then I saw a translucent figure in me, yet bigger than me, and identified that to be the Holy Spirit. Following that view, there was another figure, which I identified as Christ in me. Once that occurred my perspective changed as I saw the view of looking up from the bottom of the pit. There was a hand reaching down from the top of the pit to help me out, which I identified as the Heavenly Father. The vision changed to my standing with the Holy Spirit and Christ Jesus, Who held up my arms to help me grab on to the hand of the Father and be pulled out of that pit. I pray God helps you pull out of life's pits each and every time satan tries to drag you down.

    A collection of writings from a life based on the truth that about midnight anything can happen.
    Acts 16:25

    ​Paul and Silas, as they prayed and sang hymns to God, saw chains come loose.

    Today, we still see God doing the same thing in response to our prayers and praise and because of His great love for us.

    As an imperfect servant of the Lord, I often feel I am fumbling my way through life, looking upward for guidance and outward to love. So, I write about it, to break up the noise in my head.
