Thanks for being vulnerable, Beka. Guilt and shame are heavy litlte deamons. After years of carrying my own around I forgot they were there. Its amazing to me the shame we can accrue at souch young ages. 16 .13 .10years old. But, at 23 I'm still young and so thankful that God has shown me that I don't have to cary any of it around anymore. Ever. So good!Now I get to practice being vulnerable. I get to be honest about my past and glorify God at the same time. Grace does not mean our past is hidden from the world locked away in a dark vault never to be opened. Grace means WE are hidden in Christ, and we are not condemned for our past. We can look at our past and be released of shame. We can talk about our past and be filled with gratitude. Thank you, Beka, for being an open book of God's grace!
