Slavic Christian singles

Dear Slavic Christian, if you’re afraid of getting married or having children because of the pain you experienced in your childhood home, healing is available for you. You can have a healthier marriage than your parents do and can raise children you’ll love that won’t have to hurt from the trauma you experienced. 

Will you let God redeem your past?

Let’s take a couple of steps back first to see the big picture. 

…I know what trauma and fear felt like as a child, just like you.

I know what physical abuse by the one who’s supposed to protect you feels like.

I know what emotional neglect by the one who was supposed to nurture you feels like.

I know what nightmares and shame feel like.

I know what avoiding men due to the fear of one day my husband repeating my father’s behavior feels like.

I know what avoiding relationships with women due to fear of them rejecting me, like my mom did, feels like.

…I also know what redemption of all of the above feels like, too.

I know what deliverance from demons and generational curses feels like.

I know what the grace, tenderness, and love of a safe man feels like.

I know what having vulnerable conversations with godly girlfriends feels like.

I know what it feels like to reach out for help and receive it.

I know what rebuilding my identity in Christ feels like.

I know what it feels like to use my past pain as a testimony to help my clients experience freedom, thanks to God.

I know what setting boundaries and no longer people pleasing feels like.

I know what taking my mind captive instead of believing and acting on intrusive thoughts feels like.

I know what forgiveness and being forgiven feel like.

I know what accepting God’s love and overflowing it onto others feels like.

Letting God redeem my past feels like a healthy marriage where I can trust and open my heart, body, and mind to my spouse.

Letting God redeem my past looks like being pregnant with our second child, because He worked miracles I never could have imagined through the first.

Letting God redeem my past looks like bringing my triggers to the cross daily instead of carrying the heavy burden myself.

Letting God redeem my past means sharing my story without fear of what people will think, because I no longer need approval to feel secure.

Letting God redeem my past looks like reading the Bible, praying, and worshipping to connect with my Heavenly Papa instead of fearing going to hell or getting rejected by Him for not doing it.

Dear one, if you want God to redeem your past so you can thrive in the present and future, please reach out to me, and I’ll share with you everything He has given me to have it. The life that He has in store for you is a million times better and different than the suffering you’re currently going through on your own. Will you let Him in to receive this hope I’m offering today?
