Transparent Moments

We've all been in a place in life where we longed to hear someone say, "I understand because I've been there." In my life, this comforting phrase has broken down numerous mental barriers. When I sensed genuine compassion, I opened the door, and a connection was made. Knowing someone identified with my struggle encouraged me to allow them access and to get the help I needed. Those moments felt safe and assuring because wisdom was available to assist me. Besides, it felt good to know someone understood what it was like to be in my shoes.

This is especially true in the faith community where being open about life's hard places can be taboo. For this reason, I'm exposing my scars by sharing Transparent Moments. Hopefully, you will see you're not alone through the lessons I've learned the hard way. I pray my journey will equip you to win in life.
