Instead
of giving you a formal third person description of myself, I’m
going to be transparent. The same way I present myself in ministry,
my book, my blog, the way I am in real life. I’m passionate,
enlightening and formalities may dilute the true message of what I
want to deliver. I grew up a small town girl who involuntarily
learned a lot of things the hard way. My childhood was stolen at the
tender age of four and after years of abuse I decided to liberate
myself through accomplishments. My trophies and awards shined
brightly but my soul grew darker as I started to adopt and carry out
self-inflicted abuse. Fearing a return to my impoverished beginnings
I became a serial perfectionist. If things weren’t flawless, I
would perpetually beat myself up until I fixed it. As I was bringing
down the hammer on myself for the umpteenth time, God grabbed my hand
and I looked up to behold the Son of Glory. He showed me a new way. I
learned that acceptance, forgiveness and grace is more effective in
change than punishment. I would continue to fall, but instead of the
whip, I used something a lot fiercer: the double-edged Word of
God.
