June 8, 2020 A Sometimes Daily Occurrence

Attended church. IN THE BUILDING! I needed that. To be surrounded by some familiar God-loving peeps (and to be able to take a picture of church NOT IN MY LIVING ROOM!). Now to the words in the image: "Don't despise where you came from." Pastor talked about this and it has stuck with me since hearing it. I have to admit there was a time not so long ago that the 'places/circumstances I came from' were something I did despise. Hated. Detested. Then I was healed. Yep. I said that. I WAS HEALED. It was not quick, but there was a period of about 6 months that I became mended/put back together from the places I despised. Some of the places were a result of my choices. Some not. And let me be clear: I have not "arrived". There is still work to be done.
I haven't written about this for a time. It feels good to remember what my God has done for me.
"Why is she writing about this on her photography platform?" you might ask. My answer: because these things are part of what makes up "Me". My story. To show you all there's a person behind the business.
