I have shared a season of life with you. . . but I have not fully exposed the the depth of Summer

What is your biggest fear? For me. . . it is to be alone, to be abandoned and alone. This summer, this year, has forced me to go face to face with my fear. . and I want to share it with all of you.

Fatherless.

Since the age of 2 I have been fatherless-Until, my step dad came along 17 years ago. . . BUT, now he has chosen to leave us. . . Before him, the only other constant in my life was my boyfriend of 5 years. . and he too, is no longer around.

Abandonment.

In moments of fear, God shows up. . . but so does satan, I chose to believe satan and suffered in the lies and insecurities he showered over me. I felt more alone than I ever remember feeling in all 22 years of life, and the shade of my heart got darker and darker each day. I wondered why I was going on this trip. . and if I’d ever truly be loved one day.

Who am I to lead? I am just
Fatherless and Abandoned.

Have you ever felt that way? If not this exact feeling, have you ever allowed satan to attack your biggest fear and run so far from the truth you believe what he is telling you? I am sure everyone reading this has felt alone before. . . and I have suffered with you in that but I am sharing such a personal part of me in order that you see that the pain you’re feeling. . .

is not God.
Not truth
but evil.

I’ve never been fatherless. . . Not one waking moment have I been alone. . nor have you. . . Abandoned by the world but not by God. I felt so abandoned and alone because I placed the importance of people and relationships above God. But he was always there. HEAR ME. . .

HE IS ALWAYS THERE
UNCHANGING
FAITHFUL
and
ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE

The truth is. . . Summer was a season of satan. . . Fall will be a season of faith.

I found myself standing in a room of people feeling completely alone, is this where you are?

Hear what I am saying. . . You’re not.

God is good and though some lessons are painful and shake you to the core–make you fall to your knees crying out to whom ever will listen, wanting the world to stop and just hear you. . . someone to just comfort you, someone to stop the pain of those you love and wish were still around. . . God says, ““For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Stand firm in your faith. God is there. Knowing you fully. Loving you Always.
You are not Fatherless.
We are not Fatherless.
