My New Journey

On Sept 1 an action towards myself forever changed everything in my life.  I lost contact for a year with mother and daughter. It was heart wrenching.

I felt as though my heart was ripped out of my chest. I miss them so much. I lived in a hotel teetering on the edge of homelessness.  My anxiety was through the roof. 

God saved me or I saved myself. I found a room to rent. I also got a job at Ups wearhouse. I am so utterly grateful.

Then another unexpected blessing I met my friend Daniel who has been helping me to love and trust again. I can't believe how blessed I am.  Love still exists in times of  heart aches.

Love Found Me

I was so walled in for as long as my daughter has been alive.  I did not allow myself to give my heart to anyone but her.  That was until I met you.

You taught me to hope and believe in a man. You taught me that not all men are bad. I have had some terrible experiences with men. You patiently helped me work through my fears. 

I am in awe at what a good patient man you are and I love you with my heart.  Thank you for being a part of my heart. Thank you for showing me how to love again.

I love you.

Love Struggles

As I grow closer to the man I love. My past torments me. 
It comes forward in waves. He is shocked what i have been through  family has scapegoated me to the point i truly have backed away.  Knowing I am a person of value has helped me escape.  My understanding of God convincing me no one deserves this not even from those who use the faulcity of love to hurt you and not value you. 

No one deserves to be unloved. For every human is created and wonderfully made.  No family has a right to have power on over you.  No family deserves power if abused over you. As I come  to realize I am worthy of true love. 

Of a man with a gentle spirit who honors me for who I am.  Yet in the beginning I tried to push him away to ashamed to unloved.  He patiently stayed by me and helped me through my self destructive thoughts and comforts my broken heart in every way.
