Serena,

Powerful story and beautifully written.

“Unzipping myself” Yes.

We must lay ourselves open to Him who knows and cares.

May God continue to increase your influence.

Blessings,

I’m profoundly thankful I ’stumbled’ upon your blog.

Do my words matter to you… they mattered to me this morning. How blessed we are that you held hope long enough to get to the top of the mountain to shout it out.

‘The only way you can find yourself is in the fires of sorrow. Why it should be this way is immaterial. The fact is that it is true in the scriptures and in the human experience. You can always recognize who has been through the fires of sorrow and received himself, and you know that you can go to him in your moment of trouble and find that he has plenty of time for you…. If you will receive yourself in the fires of sorrow, God will make you nourishment for other people.’ – Oswald Chambers

‘Right now I am storm-tossed. And what am going to say? ‘Father, get me out of this?’ No, this is why I came to this place. I’ll say, ‘Father, put your glory on display.’ A voice came out of the sky: “I have glorified it, and I’ll glorify it again.” -John 12 MSG

Achingly beautiful. I got goosebumps, too. Thanks for being so transparent and sharing what’s obviously not an easy thing in life, but you turned it into something helpful, which is awesome.
