Each day is a new page in the life of Cindy!  I have found the small child within who has needed to be loved for so long.  I am healing a little each day from a life of what feels like neglect, rejection, withdrawal.....
What an amazing experience this is.  Once I have overcome some of the feelings of loneliness, I have been able to find my small self that has hidden away in a dark corner of my soul; trying to escape the negative attacks of this world.
People and circumstances in our lives play such a big role in who we become!  I imagine many people never get the opportunity I am experiencing.  How fortunate I am!
Feeling accepted by others is one thing; accepting and loving ourselves is something all together different.  Each day I shed tears for others as I pray for them, mixed with healing tears for my small, insignificant self. Like bandaids carefully and skillfully placed on each and every part of that small helpless child.  Soon she will be all better!
Lord, help me place any bandaids on my kids inner selves while they are young, so they can grow up without the feelings of insecurity, unworthiness, etc. that I have had as an adult.  I pray they will love themselves as they grow up, and be strong, secure people who love you with all their hearts.  AMEN!!
