abandoned by mother
under Secret Stories, Written on October 15, 2010Wow! What a powerful book. I want to thank you for sharing your journey, thoughts & what God has taught you. I am blown away at the hope and encouragement I’ve received!
One of the most prevelant names I have taken on in my life is “ABANDONED“. My Mom left our family when I was 8 years old and the pain of that and what followed shapes who I am a great deal. My journey of healing began 13 years ago and still continues.
At 40, after reading your book, I realize how I continue to hold onto that name at times. As I read Isaiah 49:15, I cried:
Though she may forget, I will not forget you.
El Roi. The God who sees me.
There is much to process. I am currently battling through some anxieties and the timing of my reading this is God’s. I can’t thank you enough. Your vulnerability throughout the book will touch many lives. We have been doing this book as a study here in Dublin. It’s been a blessing to many of the women.
May God continue to bless you through your ministry! Thank-you for blessing me.
