Breathing Through It

A true fighter is someone who quietly defies the person their pain tried to turn them into.

The greatest battles are not always fought against what stands before us. Sometimes they are fought deep within us—against the bitterness, fear, and brokenness that attempt to make a home inside our wounds.

True strength is rarely loud.

It is found in choosing tenderness without surrendering discernment, forgiveness without denying the wound, and grace without abandoning yourself. It is the quiet rebellion of refusing to let another person’s darkness rewrite the light within you.

What happened to me may have wounded me, but it will not be permitted to become me.

I am a true fighter—not because I was never broken, but because I refused to let brokenness become my identity. I kept my tenderness without surrendering my strength. I kept loving without allowing bitterness to claim my heart. I continued to rise, even when remaining on the ground would have been understandable.

I am a pick-back-up girl, with grace in my heart and holy defiance in my bones.

And I will make this truth the very breath filling my lungs:

I inhale grace.
I exhale what tried to define me.
I breathe in who I am becoming.
I release who pain demanded I become.

With every breath, I am no longer merely proving that I survived. I am giving life to the woman I fought so courageously to become.

The wound may remain part of my story, but it no longer holds the pen—or steals the breath from my lungs.

I am not merely surviving the battle.

I am breathing through it.

Father, You are the Counselor to my soul.

You speak to me in poetry
where the darkness dares to steal Your light.

You find the places in me
where ordinary words cannot reach
and whisper truth between the lines of my sorrow.

You turn wounds into verses,
tears into punctuation,
and the unfinished sentences of my life
into evidence that You are still writing.

When darkness tells me the story is over,
You remind me that a page covered in ink
is not the same as a book that has ended.

You counsel me through beauty.
Through stillness.
Through the quiet metaphors hidden in creation.
Through the inexplicable knowing
that finds me when I have run out of answers.

And somehow, Father,
You keep teaching me that darkness
has never been the absence of Your light—

sometimes it is simply the place
where I finally learn how brightly
Your light has been burning all along.

Remember who you are...
You are a beautiful composite of tenacity and gentleness.
You are strength and weakness.
You are a mixture of angelic grace, and evolving chaos.
You rise, and fall, and rise again.
You are a delicate flower, and a fervent warrior.
You are accomplishments, and failures.
You are perfectly imperfect.
And, you, even on the days that you feel you have nothing left to give, are a gift of light to the world.

"Shame, Grace & Redemption"

Shame corrodes the very part of us that allows us to believe we are capable of change.

Grace restores what shame tried to destroy—the belief that who we have been does not have to determine who we can become.

Grace gives us permission to forgive who we were, embrace who we are, and believe in who we are still becoming.

Because shame imprisons us in an identity, while grace gives us room to become.

And redemption?

"Redemption is the transformation that happens in the becoming."

Shame says,
“This is who you are.”

Grace says,
“This is where you were.”

Redemption says,
“Now watch who you become.”

Your Soul’s Door

A beautiful passageway into the journey of your mind’s imagination and your heart’s deepest desires—a threshold between who you are, who you dream of becoming, and all that quietly waits within you to be discovered.
