This was written in the early part of 2024 but I decided to revise it and place it here as part of my case for justice in every area of my life. We are currently praying 3 times a day collectively, for justice to be served, by the Good and Just Judge our Father God.
I’ve come to realize there are pieces of my past—entire moments, conversations, even people—that I can't remember. The impact of childhood, complex trauma, repeated emotional pain, prescribed drugs, marijuana use, alcoholism, and even a blow to the head have caused memory blocks that feel like empty pages in my story.
But I want to be clear: I don’t intentionally disregard people—unless harm was done. What I’ve experienced has affected me deeply, but it doesn’t define my heart.
I also recognize this: there are more unhealed people than healed ones. Some choose not to confront their pain. Others don’t even realize healing is needed. But for those of us doing the work—healing, growing, learning, overcoming—boundaries are vital. Not to be cold or distant, but to protect our peace, our progress, and our purpose.
Emotional pain can be one of the worst kinds of pain.
But it teaches. It humbles. It awakens.
To truly heal, we must:
And even in the places where we feel lost or broken—God is able.
He can restore memories.
He can redeem the time.
He can make all things new—in His will, in His way, and in His timing.
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten...” – Joel 2:25
You are not forgotten. You are not beyond healing. You are not too far gone.
God is able.
