Romans 12:12 “be patient in suffering”

At church this past Sunday, our pastor read scripture from Romans 12:9-12 and this scripture stood out to me and I think it’s especially important today.

I made an appointment with my therapist

after having not gone for a couple of months (hey, your girl here is pretty healed!). But, life has become so much and I’ve been trying to cope on my own, but realized it would be nice to lean on professional support during this time.

I had a miscarriage and it sent me to the ER (twice)

Today is Mother’s Day. And today is 4 weeks, a month, since I had my miscarriage. My very traumatic miscarriage. So, let’s talk about it. Finishing the experience from Part 1, here we go.

4 years since Daisy was killed.

And I decided to celebrate her life and joy to honor her beautiful existence, rather than suffer the pain and horror my abuser intended to inflict when he killed her.
