Hello and Welcome. I’m delighted you’re here.
You are loved and cherished beyond your wildest dreams. You are loved by God and created in His image. You are loved.
Somehow these truths can be tricky to grasp. Your ears may hear and your heart wants to receive them, but they just won’t settle. Responsibilities rise, energy wanes, and you keep falling short of the goals you set and those set for you. You do your best over and over yet it’s never enough. Too much stuff comes at you too fast or too little support for too long. Your mind tells you to give up and your body threatens to shut down. Faulty perceptions and poor coping skills start to take over. Whether you know Jesus or not, you lose track of who you are and start to act out of character. You sense life is supposed to be easier than what you’ve got, but you can’t find your way, and nobody gets it.
You’re ready to move from where you are to where you want to be . . . but you’re not sure how . . . which results in more frustration and drives the ‘what’s wrong with me’ dilemma.
Let’s adjust the focus.
Let’s minimize the horizontal distractions and dial in a higher perspective.
about
Sandra Allen Lovelace
Some people might call me a late bloomer.
My journey may look different than yours from the outside, but we’re sisters, daughters of Eve on the inside where we live. Pressure, fear, overwhelm, neglect, coercion, and more can set any of us in a trap called trauma.
For me, it started with a childhood amidst alcoholism and violence that built a faulty definition of normal, and led to a lifetime of misconceptions about life in general and my worth in particular. Jesus whispered my name and I fell at His feet in my 20s, but I went on to spend decades trapped in terror, pain, confusion, and more.
Today, I know deep in my mind, body, and spirit I am Whole, Secure, and Free in Christ. The process He used to bring me into the abundant life I’d heard so much about is the framework that’s reviving the lives of the women in our Trauma Recovery Community.
