Let go of pain and pick up hope… 🍃
This is the beginning of Part 55 in my story
The Girl Who Chased Horses
But before I go on… let’s take a moment for you.
Drop back to your youth.
What were you known for? What spirit did God put in you?
Do you still have it or did the enemy set out to destroy it? If he did, let’s get it back!
Or are you still blazing?
Who are you?
🤎
I am the girl who chased horses (and caught them!) and I am an overcomer!
But boy did the enemy try to destroy me.
If you would like, your story so others can see, they are not alone.
Take your time, share all you need.
I’m going to finish my book with you.
We are going to show God’s Glory. We are going to show what joy comes in the morning looks like.
Join me in a testimony to God’s goodness.
I’ll share Chapter One below, it’s actually my about page and why this art ministry started.
I’ve been away for years, beaten down so low. God has yet again redeemed my life. Time and again, He finds us.
🤎
I want to remind you who you are and Whose you are. You are a beloved child of God Almighty. Hold your head up. Take heart. You are going to be OK.
You are loved. You are not alone. You are seen. You are held. You matter.
Please share who God made you in the comments and your affirmation of who you know you are.
Then let’s remember it… and take back everything the enemy tried to steal from us.
Examples: brave, determined, kind, soft natured, adventurous, creative, organized, fun, silly, goofy, hilarious, disciplined, thrifty, funny, sweet, the one who kept their cool, smart, quick, witty, stern (in a good way), willing, ready, bright, hopeful, romantic, a dreamer, inventive, full of hope, ready to take on the world!
Let’s get her back! (Or him).

Part 55:
I am the Girl Who Chased Horses.
When I was young, I loved horses so much that I would ride any horse I could get my hands on.
I was fearless. I had a neighbor one time that said about some horses he had out in the field; If you can catch one, you can ride it.
I don’t think they thought I would actually catch one, but I did and I went on some rides of my life!
In chapter one, I shared my son’s horrific car accident where he was struck by one car and ran over by another, surviving, but with traumatic brain injury.
I shared a little of my upbringing, my mother being a drug dealer.
I wanted God.
Then, I up and married an alcoholic that unknown to me at the time was also a covert narcissist I thought I could rescue.
Also unknown to me… I would be torn down through decades until I didn’t recognize myself anymore and I was no longer fearless.
🤎
God has reminded me of who I am and against all odds and even the daily challenges I face now, He gives me strength, courage, hope, and a fight within to take back what the enemy stole.
And what I see personally and through comments you my friends have made, we want our life back. Some of us have been beat down. I’m here to tell you, that is not God’s plan for you.
I’m 62 years old. In May I will be 63. To all the older women like me, if you lost yourself… remember her! Testify in the comments who you are.
If you are young and haven’t lost yourself, take it from us who did for awhile, guard your heart with all diligence and live the life God put you on earth to live.
To those of us who have endured more battles than most, you in particular, there is a certain kind of crown for you in heaven.
🤎
For now, raise your head up. You are worthy. You are still standing for a reason. I release every bit of hope, courage and strength God has poured into my broken places to flow through you.
Pass it on. Pray it on. Let His river of hope and healing flow.
Every single hurt… is in God’s heart to heal. You are not forgotten. You are seen.
Stand up… and receive it.
In Jesus Name
Amen
