Thank you so much Julie!

You are right. I was asked in January and said Yes fairly quickly—then froze..lol

I went to the Lord in prayer a lot on how to write it where it was about me and my side of the street respecting others and their stories—then I waited…

About two weeks ago, I woke up and was having coffee and in my flesh out of left field I sensed the Lord say write it from an I, Me, and My perspective.

Wow 🤯 All the glory goes to our Father, His spirit wrote it through me from beginning to end!

I am so grateful I said Yes when asked—little did I know in stepping out to write it the healing and freedoms of yesterdays were still rolling forward with the Lord’s light extinguishing things of the past and bringing me much needed clarity.

You are amazing!!

He also often uses our writing to continue the healing within ourselves. We are then battle ready to share, helping others in the process. ((Hugs))

Erin, thank you for sharing your story with such honesty and vulnerability. What stood out to me most was your description of trying to carry responsibilities that were never yours to carry. I think so many of us can relate to believing that if we could just fix enough people or circumstances, we would finally find peace. Your testimony beautifully shows that real freedom isn't found in striving but in surrendering to Jesus. I also loved how you described forgiveness as healing not only the other person, but your own heart as well. Your story is a powerful reminder that God patiently pursues us, redeems even our deepest wounds, and transforms our greatest failures into testimonies of His grace. Thank you for pointing others to the hope that can only be found in Christ.

You have had quite the journey! God is truly a redeemer of broken hearts.

Amen! Yes, He Is!!

Thank you Kathleen!

I am so grateful He wrote it through me and for Narrow Path Collective (Thomas M. Hamilton) sensing something I didn’t quite see in myself.

The Lord showed me so much through this journey of saying Yes!

My prayer is it will impact just one person who is looking for a better way of life leading them to end of self and onto the clear paths of our sovereign Father.
