Oh, Laura. I heard you fight back tears as I listened to you read this sweet, tender story. And I know what you mean about that Ann Lamott quote. It's one of the reasons I haven't made my own story more public. I want to leave lots of room for grace to work - for me and those I love.
Thank you for hearing me, Patricia. It was an emotional reunion for many reasons but I am so grateful that our God is a God who redeems. You are wise to leave room for grace to do her hard work. Love to you, friend.
I am also writing the story of my life and trying to be kind with the people who have been the cause of much hurt and trauma. I love what you said about needing to wait because I believe that I, too, needed to wait and now seems to be the right time for me.
I’m sorry for the pain and trauma you’ve been through. It’s a tricky balance, isn’t it? Telling truth and honoring the past? I will pray for you as you traverse this path friend. It takes courage to face those ghosts. 🩷

Thank you, Gala. You are so kind! I'm glad to meet you here :)
