|East TN| Romans 8:18.

[MIKayla Owen @Mkayylaaa]

In retrospect, I can see that “wait” is the most precious answer God can give us. It makes us cling to him rather than cling to any outcome.

[K-LOVE @KLOVERadio]

He is faithful to finish what He started.

One day you'll look back and realize the chapter that nearly broke you was the chapter God used to build you.

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

When your nervous system believes your life is on the line, it doesn't care about your long-term health. So you shrink. You avoid conflict. You overgive. You people-please. You dissociate. You endure. You've been through enough. Forgive yourself for what you did in survival mode.

[Philosophy Of Life @PhilOfLife_]

You survived days you genuinely didn't think you would. Be proud of that.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

The God who makes the sun set and rise is the same God to whom we can safely release all we are facing.

God sees it. God knows what to do with it. Trust Him to guide you. Do your part. But then let Him handle the rest.

Maturing is realizing you cannot teach consideration .

[Libriscent @libriscent]

i think a lot of people mistake accountability for an attack because acknowledging the harm they caused would require them to confront parts of themselves they’d rather avoid

[Libriscent @libriscent]

I don’t think people who haven’t experienced a monumental loss understand just how much grief affects your everyday life

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

Deciding you no longer have the attention, time, or energy to argue and choosing peace over trying to win an argument, having the last word, or proving the other person wrong is top-tier self-care.

He rebuilds what's been broken.
He restores what was lost.
And He keeps working—even here.

This isn’t the end of your story. He’s not finished! 🙌

One of the quiet griefs of cPTSD is watching people interpret your survival responses as character flaws.

[TWLOHA @TWLOHA]

What do you mean the same brain that told me I wasn't enough carried me through everything that tried to break me?

[MIKayla Owen @Mkayylaaa]

living in the JOY of so many answered prayers 💙 God is good and he is working so we smile!

everything you learned late, teach your children early.

The hardest battle is between your old habits and your new standards.

[lets heal and recover @recovery_your]

Trauma didn’t give me strength.
It gave me trust issues.
Panic attacks.
A hyperaware brain that won’t shut off.

It gave me nights I couldn’t sleep.
Relationships I couldn’t maintain.
And a body that flinches at safety because it doesn’t recognize it.

My trauma didn’t teach me resilience.
It taught me fear.
It taught me to be small.
To apologise for existing.
To expect love to hurt.

And I’m still unlearning all of it.

Women will survive abuse, heartbreak, grief, and unspeakable tragedies and still move through the world with kindness and compassion, but one minor inconvenience in a man’s childhood and he spends the rest of his life hurting everyone around him.
