Recently, after hearing the cry of a mother's pain when her young child threatened to kill himself, woke something deep inside me. I refuse to be God's silent helper anymore. Any fear about expressing myself has been pushed into the background.
So here's some truth for today. If you have a crack in your foundation (which you probably do), your children will have one too. Hard as we may try to do better than our parents, we will fail. Wounded parents pay it forward to their children. When you are broken and bleeding from the inside, know that the blood flows into every crevice in your life externally too. There's no exception to this rule unless you've done a lot of hard work on yourself. You can make the choice to heal your hurts, or continue to deny or ignore them and pass it on just as your parents passed them to you.

“Pain is a pesky part of being human... But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air...”
