Steve, this is so amazing—all of it...one of my favorites that you’ve written. I’m going to journal about it, especially spending time with:

"Then, tell the truth about our skin-wrapped souls, no matter how astonishing it is."

And

"I can say, “Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I have come to love. I am here to live.””

Thank you!

Steve, this is a remarkably courageous decision and post. I'm for you. As you say, It's never too late to make a wise turn in our path. As long as our hearts are still beating. The sooner the better, but it's never too late.

To embrace my wholeness, my fragile and fantastic self.

I LOVE those words ❤️

This is my prayer. As an incest survivor! , it has been a struggle to embrace my wholeness. Feeling my body as fragile was a constant companion. I m thankful how the Lord has been redeeming me to believe my self is Fantastic
