Day 20 – Forgiving Others

October 20, 2018 by Patti 5 Comments

The Write 31 Day Challenge – Write 31 Days,Every Topic,Same Topic

Day 20

(day 1 starts here)

You will never be more like Jesus than when you forgive. - Pastor Ken Dyck, Freedom Session International Click To Tweet

Okay friends, I’m going to give it to you up front here. This entire post today is about forgiving others and it is long because I believe it is THAT important! The entire tone of my story would’ve been different if it hadn’t been for forgiveness.  Forgiveness of God, myself, and others.

Day 19 – Her Name was Abortion

The Write 31 Days Challenge – 31 Days,Every Day,One Topic

Day 19

(day 1 starts here)

Small bands of teenage girls huddled together along the seemingly endless row of lockers, casting sidelong glances at the lone girl, walking chin up, eyes focused forward, as if aiming toward an imaginary finish line at the end of the hallway.  

Some cast knowing glances at one another. Others giggled and smirked with glee at their shared knowledge of who and what this girl was.

When she was halfway down the corridor the chanting began, quietly at first and growing in volume as others joined in.

Day 17 – Calling in the Troops & Forgiving Myself

October 17, 2018 by Patti 3 Comments

The Write 31 Days Challenge – 31 Days,Every Day,One Topic

Day 17

(day 1 starts here)

My husband felt helpless to help me, especially because I’d not wanted him to share with others how messed up I really was. But on the night when he found me at my worst, my frazzled, someone-please-help-me-with-my-wife hubby, placed a call to some trusted friends within the church. The reconnaissance team, the wearers of spiritual armor, the warriors in prayer.

This would be the beginning of season of change and I was more than ready.

Day 16 – God Speaks to my Heart & a Cute DIY

October 16, 2018 by Patti 3 Comments

The Write 31 Days Challenge – 31 Days,Every Day,One Topic

Day 16

(day 1 starts here)

It is sometimes so hard doing this Write 31 Days thing because after I hit publish I tend remember things I wish I’d said. For instance, I wrote previously about my comment to the Pastor’s wife where I told her I hated women. I want to clarify something about that.

Day 15 – Coming to the End of Myself

October 15, 2018 by Patti 4 Comments

The Write 31 Days Challenge – 31 Days,Every Day,One Topic

Day 15

(day 1 starts here)

A couple of days ago I mentioned texting back-and-forth with my childhood friend who has been very encouraging to me as I’ve been telling this story.  Knowing that she’s following along I shot off yet another text to her and here is what I said:

Hey girlfriend. As you read through my 31 day story please let me know if at any time I sound like I am a victim . . . I don’t want anyone to think I wear the victim label. God has delivered me from that and given me new labels. HIS names for me, not the names that the enemy would like be to believe.
