When does your pain end and healing begin? It’s up to you.  Only you can decide when enough is really enough!

My journey took an interesting turn when I decided to undertake a women’s development course; it was wonderful, enlightening and liberating.

The real beginning of my healing journey started when I was asked to complete an assignment. “In your own creative way, show what you have learnt and what you will take away from the five-session course”,  the facilitator instructed us that late May Sunday afternoon.

What follows is my awakening to what God is seeking to do in my life.

Development: what does that mean?

“Growth, change, process, progress…”

I whisper from behind the mask

that screens

me; the girl – emerging from the mess

with a message  – on the transparent, authentic lips of a woman.

Girl has gone! Transforming woman in her place.

Why? 

She beheld her Father’s face:

The tenderest expression of love as like a tender, loving parent.

Love Me, 

Love yourself, 

Love others.

Look to Me and I will give you favour.

Trust in Me with all your heart and I will ever set you apart

For service; for you are my daughter 

Whoever you are and who I’ve purposed you to be

Ever remember, first and foremost; 

that is your identity.     

“Run your race, run strong until the end”

Though you may have to stop and rest awhile

Your faithful Father will be as near as a friend.

Walk the walk, live the life.

Pay no heed to the worry or strife.”

“Go forward, go forward; at your side, my Son

and with faithful, patient endurance – you WILL hear

Well done!”
