Why Am I Still Crying‪?‬

“Why am I still crying over the past? Am I truly saved, delivered, and healed? Why am I allowing the enemy to take my past and bring it into my today?” For many years, these questions regurgitated each time someone or something pushed me to focus on my past. 

Come with me on a journey through my past. I want to share my story in hopes that my past situations and mistakes will comfort you through any past or current situation in your life. In time, God began to illuminate my eyes of understanding, and I could clearly see that I had only suppressed my past; I was not healed. It was not until I could see what I had refused to see, that my healing process began. Totally healed? Not yet, but I have stopped crying.
