Soul care is a vital part of healing—in all areas of healing. Our souls—mind, emotions, will—must be nurtured for them to be healthy. There are many ways that people, everyone—whether they are abuse survivors or not, nurture their souls. One that I highly endorse for everyone, as well as greatly enjoy myself, is Creativity! Making creative things truly does wonders in our brains, from relaxing the nervous system, to healing trauma, to aiding right thinking and clarity, to increasing brain function and brain power itself. Creativity is my happy place. But I wasn’t expecting treadle sewing itself to be therapeutic…. Continue reading →

Daily Word – Comfort

In the healing survivor community we hear a lot about “sharing your story.” Because isolation, gaslighting, minimizing, blame-shifting, intimidation and more of the like are prominent tactics in hidden abuse, there is too much fear for many women to tell anyone what’s going on. As a survivor begins to come out of the dissonance and to gain clarity, she begins to feel safe to, and is encouraged to, share her story with safe people, to aid in her healing. It helps her see the reality of her situation, and the severity and evil of the abuser’s treatment of her. After… Continue reading →

V-Day Blues? Nope!

For many women, who are survivors of DV, Valentine’s Day is a triggering day. This may be your first year alone, or maybe you feel all alone while still in the same house. You may be wondering what you can do on February 14th. Ignore the day? Fat chance. Wallow in your sorrow? Not generally helpful. (If you are at the beginning of your grief, that may be what you choose. Then move on beyond that.) But there are a lot of other options. First, realize that Valentine’s Day is at its roots not about romantic love. Read the real… Continue reading →

Daily Word – Enlightened

How can I keep from falling, when darkness surrounds me? How can I stay the course? How can I know where to take the next step? You are my Light! “Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Your word. I… Continue reading →

Daily Word – Justice

Leave a comment

So many things in life not only seem, but truly are, not only “unfair”, but truly unjust. It seems like oppressors are getting away with their evil. We cry out, with David, “How long, Oh Lord?” We want swift justice for evil. Yet God is many times long-suffering, desiring the oppressor to come to repentance. — and as they don’t, they heap up more judgement for themselves. God is Just. He is Faithful. He sees. And He will bring justice. He will break into pieces the oppressor. We can trust Him. Vengeance is His. He will repay! Blessed be His… Continue reading →

Daily Word – Faithful in the Small

Leave a comment

I’m sometimes accused of being naive. Which is somewhat a dichotomy, since I’m a studier and over-thinker. But I believe the best—until it’s proven wrong. I like to find simplicity. I get excited over the little things in life—and concerned over little things. I see how those little things make up the big picture. Where they are heading. What they can, and likely will become. Are we as concerned about being faithful in the little things in life as we are about the big things? The little things will become the big things! Our “core beliefs” need to be strong… Continue reading →

We chase after many things in life. Are the things we’re pursuing really important? Do they make “life”? Righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness are worthy pursuits. Pursue God!

Daily Word – His Plans

Leave a comment

Does your life look like what you planned? Perhaps you planned to have 3 kids. But only 1 came along. Perhaps you planned to be married for life. But you’re divorced after decades of trying. Perhaps you planned to be retired by now. Or married by now. Perhaps you planned to be president of your own company. Do you see loss? Or gain? Do you trust the Lord’s direction? Or do you become bitter that your own agenda isn’t going how you planned? Do you trust His timing? That perhaps the plans weren’t way off base, but just not yet?… Continue reading →
