God has been leading me in areas that I am so unsure of, so feeling like not enough and just like I would be adding to what so many others are already doing so much better than me. But once again those words of my own story mattering hits me deep. Because of a birth trauma that ended the life of my child and almost my own I have gone from being an extrovert to an introvert. The recovering journey from the deep damage has been such an interesting one. Silence is a trigger for me since childhood and so I totally relate to how that can mess with a person’s mind. Thanks for sharing, for being vulnerable, real, and just plain old honest, so refreshing! Makes my journey feel safer to move forward in.

Pamm, thank you so much for your affirming words. I do hope that you will quiet that lying voice that tells you that your friends are more creative. You have something to add to your bible that no one else could possibly do. It is your insights, your revelations, and your handwriting that your children will want to peek into some day. Don’t be afraid to get a little ‘messy’ in the Word. It’s my pleasure to be here and share with you all.

Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency. Your words truly ministered to me. I cried as I read this. I had just told my hubby today that I wanted to give up on ministry, as I’ve been feeling so empty, so worthless. I have always felt a call to write but the thoughts of writing a blog totally intimidate me! And I’ve been dabbling in Bible art journaling, but because the friends I am around are so talented and creative, I end up feeling extremely inept and inadequate. I usually come away feeling like the girl who isn’t good enough to be picked for the team. Your writing and teaching are gifts from God. Don’t let the enemy silence you. You have a divine calling! Keep using your gifts to encourage others! Keep doing YOU! God bless you! And thank you for the free class and downloads.
