Pain & Beauty: The start of my new journey
… for a brief moment, I experienced the agony that Jesus felt as he carried the weight of our sin to the cross. I felt waves of sadness, heartache, and disappointment… Yet, at the same time I was overtaken by a Tsunami of love…..
My battle with shame and what I’m doing about it
Shame is an enemy that you can’t ignore…..
