"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

BELIEF SYSTEM


"The whole key for me was uncovering and discovering how my belief system about myself and the world, had formed. As I replaced the lies with the truth, the coping methods fell away; because I didn’t need them anymore." Darlene Ouimet

The above statement is so true. Most my life I thought I was weird. An outcast. Stupid. Because I was told and treated that way.

Who I was was Not validated at home. My father was not there for me emotionally most of the time.

I was taken advantage of verbally, physically and sexually. Not only by my relatives, but at school. I accepted what others told me to my face and behind my back. I saw my peers giggle and point fingers at me. Crude remarks were made about my intelligence and looks. I would even recall calling myself stupid among friends. In order to be accepted. Only to realize later they were laughing at me and not with me. School was a lost cause because of my belief system and shutting down after my parents divorce. Only by the Grace of God did I graduate on time. Almost did not.

Five years ago, I had the presence of mind (divine intervention of the Holy Spirit) to seek help. I, in my present misery of emotional pain knew at least that time was short. I needed professional help.

So I sought out a Christian counselor. The combination of my Heavenly Daddy and the guidance of a obedient caring counselor/servant, I began my journey to healing.

Finding out my old belief system about myself played a big part to my pain. And then also to my healing.

I am not totally there yet. But, I am not where I once was! Amen.

  1. Progress is a wonderful and blessed thing, Grace. Just the fact that you can see how far you have come and that you now know where you are headed is huge. I am very happy for you that you aren't where you used to be. Wishing you the blessings of God's peace.

  2. Hi Grace,
    I am not totally there yet either, but we are new creations in Christ Jesus and we could not have a better warrior to fight our spiritual and emotional battles. God looks at us as His beautiful creations that need His Holy Spirit to help us to become what He intended us to be.
    God bless

  3. I am so glad you are healing hon and sharing your journey so other too can glean from what you have and are learning. I have learned so much from you and have realized some of the pent up hurt I have is because of my unhealthy thoughts about myself.

    (((Hugs))) you are a dear one.

  5. Hi Grace! I am so glad that you are advocating for yourself and getting some help. You have so much to give, it's good for you to give to yourself...I like to tell people that.
    Others are really good at making us feel 'less than', when really, they are the ones with the problems.
    You are in my prayers,
    Ceil

  6. Hey JBR. I hope you can see what a beautiful creation you are. You are NONE of those things that people said you were. You are unique, special, and gifted. I know that because you are made in the Father's image and He does not make junk. No one and nothing can change that.

  8. I am so glad you threw out the lies about yourself, Grace -these lies are like a huge weight on our shoulders, lies we were never meant to carry as children of God.When we replace these lies with God's truth we are changed forever. You have come a long way, my friend! (Me too!) Hugs and many prayers!
