Why I’ve Stopped Fighting So Hard. September 21, 2016. I spent a lot of my life truly petrified by my emotions. I didn’t trust them and I was certain they didn’t trust me. I took very seriously the concept of taking every thought captive . Whenever I felt myself slipping even the tiniest bit, I forced all my will to re-correct my path. Some storms need only to be weathered. The small phrase that continually saves my life from destruction is: Do the next right thing. I used to think this involved doing.

Only God knows where it will take us. A Light Has Come. December 11, 2016. I am captured by light. I love how John says it:. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world. (John 3:19). For hundreds of years, God’s people were walking in silent darkness, wondering if they’d ever hear from God again...For the w...

Monthly Archives: May 2016. The Importance of Feeding Your Soul. May 25, 2016. I’ve been wrestling for days with what my next blog post should be. I’ve had a few in mind, but none of them seemed quite right. I’ve been thinking about you, reader, and what you want to hear, or even need to hear. But the truth is, I don’t know what you need. I just write. And I’m finally okay with that. I’m okay with that because I’ve realized something: It’s okay to do something just for me. I grew up in a culture where th...

Follow the Path of Peace. July 29, 2016. One of the best pieces of advice anyone has ever given me, the one I refer to the most when helping others, the one that I would nearly credit for saving my life, came from my dear friend Audrey. It is so simple, yet so profound on so many levels. Follow the path of peace. And sometimes I can barely even see the path of peace. Follow the path of peace. At any point, I can decide that this turmoil isn’t for me any more. Follow the path of peace. I’m not perfe...

God Loves You and He Sees You. March 11, 2016. A good friend once told me rock bottom is a lot further down than most people think it is. I remember when getting a cold or having a close friend being mad at me were literally the worst things that could happen in life. And then this year hit. It’s an eerie feeling to not feel anything. I never thought I’d get there. But there, in the ER, that is where I finally fell apart. And I mean totally. I’d thought I’d hit roc...Late that night, discouraged and exha...

Taking Out Your Plank – Walking the Path of Forgiveness. January 31, 2014. And we find ourselves needing to confess our own sins and repent. This process of repentance doesn’t come naturally, so many of us fight it and live with bitterness for years, even a life time. We stay stuck in bitterness, controlled by the people who hurt us, and controlled by our own inability to forgive. Forgiveness isn’t dependent on the other person or their apology, it is dependent on us. Finding the Right Words. Sometimes, ...

Finding Perspective: Life After the Storm. April 26, 2016. I told someone recently that the best way to describe my space in life right now is that I’m in recovery . And I finally say that without hanging my head. Recovery is a good thing. Recovery means things are healing. But some days, I still hate the process. I hate that I need to recover. Admitting recovery is admitting that there is a brokenness that needs to be recovered. It’s hard to accept my story, even harder to love my story. I don’t e...

Why healing hurts and why it matters | sherimartinwrites
https://sherimartinwrites.wordpress.com/2016/07/06/why-healing-hurts-and-why-it-matters
Why healing hurts and why it matters. July 6, 2016. When it comes to healing, you can’t force the process. You can’t will the pieces of your broken heart back together again. No amount of willpower will dull the pain of sorrow. You simply have to be patient in the process. The process of healing is a long one. You need to live in the pain, through the pain, and eventually past the pain. Speak softly to them. It comes, but it doesn’t need to stay. Some day, when you are ready, you’ll start to climb ...
