On April 11th, I turned 51…
Today I celebrate
both the good and the bad of these 51 years…there were so many days that I struggled with my value and self-worth, never “feeling” good enough as I listened to the lies which kept me bound to their twisted truth for far too long. So many years of refusing to truly allow myself to shine for fear of failure or rejection, playing it safe instead of living freely.
As an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I despised who and what I saw in my mirror.
It has been such a slippery slope to maneuver through the trauma.
Daily choosing to renew my mind, as I apply truth to my brokenness, I am healing whole.
Today I celebrate.
Every step
she takes
is a brave
quest to silence
the lies
which kept
her bound
for far too long.
This courageous
feat outweighs
the years of
previous defeats.
Her new found
confidence
beams as
she finds
her worth
in simply
being
present.
