I SHARE YOUR PAIN I SHARE YOUR SHAME

About the Book

I could have been in a place of no return; I could have let life’s hardships keep me from my hopes and dreams. I could have never overcome depression and its constant mind games. I could have let what others thought of me, and where they thought I should be destroying my strength and my will to one day succeed. I could have lost it all, even my greatest treasures, my true gifts; my children and all the joy that came with them. But, I am here throughout all my struggles and my inner pain. I fought through all my shame and as long as God gives me breath to see another day, I will continue to fight the silent demons that make me feel so alone. The demons that make me feel unwanted and sometimes less. For so long I thought I was alone and I was so weak. But, you never know how strong you are until you hit that point in life, where you hurt so much that it takes complete control and giving up is all you know. Then you drop to your knees and without saying a word, that pain you felt so deep inside is lifted at that moment and then you know that you where never alone. That Jesus was always right by my side, and he will always carry me when I can’t carry myself. With faith you too can survive life’s pain. It’ so much pain in the world and so many of us hide behind that pain. We try to hide it so deep inside of us that sometimes it gets so hard to keep our pain hid and it turns into hate and self destruction. We turn to drugs, and gangs for family replacement looking for someone, are some kind of way out of the pain. Reaching for answers, are a cure to heal our mistakes and our confusion. My book was not written to hurt, but so that you can know that you are not alone and if you have not been through something; so many have and they are still trying to fight their demons. Someone told me my book is of misery; no it’s a book of truth that keeps too many in pain. By reading and knowing that it is happening next door, down the street and sad to say maybe right in your own home. Sadness keeps us locked away and the shame that we feel from the pain that we caused and that others have caused us keeps us from living our lives to the fullest of our ability. But, writing what I felt and have seen throughout my life has set me free. Because when you don’t know you can’t help and the only thing that has helped me to deal with my pain was keeping my faith and knowing that even though there is pain and hardship that it won’t last forever. God brought me out of my pain and he will do the same for you. So, thank you for purchasing are reading my book; I hope I have reached if not all but, maybe that one right person.
