(Cambridge dictionary) I was shattered by the heartbreak of thinking that abuse was a normal part of life! I was hurt because no one recognized the good in me! I felt unfinished because my life seemed unwritten! I have encountered every type of abuse I am aware of, and I feel confident enough to describe what that experience was like: Mental abuse - My actions were dictated by individuals who didn't even love themselves....]]></description><link>https://abeautyofwords190.wixsite.com/a-beauty-of-words/post/from-brokenness-to-wholeness-embracing-healing-through-faith-after-abuse</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fe2e4cecab90113751a179</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 18:18:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2b703d_7012a3ba4de147578f72f9ac2c6071ae~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>abeautyofwords190</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trusting the Journey: Embracing God's Timing in Our Lives]]></title><description><![CDATA["They say there is a time for everything, but as I keep learning, I realize that time is controlled by God, not by me". Despite our desire to control everything and our tendency to be impatient and hasten things, good things inherently require time. Consider God; He is never in a hurry. If something feels rushed, whether it's a relationship, a career change, driving, or communication, it is not aligned with God's nature. About nine years ago, I remember waking up from my sleep to write a poem...]]></description><link>https://abeautyofwords190.wixsite.com/a-beauty-of-words/post/trusting-the-journey-embracing-god-s-timing-in-our-lives</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f3a34e8ca39cf305c3fa34</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 14:42:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2b703d_74c30cf33dc74fc885c693b797a593cd~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>abeautyofwords190</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Embracing the Gift of Exhortation for Personal Growth and Community Impact]]></title><description><![CDATA[I grew up in an environment where words held little value for me due to numerous disappointments during my childhood. People often spoke well but their actions did not align with their words. Such behavior impacts a child more than many realize, leading them to grow up distrusting others and relying on their own interpretation of words. Little did I know, what I once disregarded was already part of God's plan to bless me with the spiritual gift of "Exhortation"!

I'm so grateful for the things you've taught me and continue to walk me through motherhood. Because of you, I can speak life into my babies instead of showing them the survival mode little girl in me. As I continue on this journey with you, Jesus, keep me steadfast in the renewing of my mind and the posture of my heart. Only you have shown me how to love my babies through their pain and balance mine.

We each have our unique narratives, but I'm discovering that Jesus is the sole path to and for everything. I woke up one morning and love was on my heart heavily. I went through most of the day with it on my thoughts. Not until I was in the kitchen cooking for my kids did I start talking to God about this feeling I'm having about love. Now, I'm not going to lie, I...]]></description><link>https://abeautyofwords190.wixsite.com/a-beauty-of-words/post/discovering-the-true-meaning-of-love-through-a-relationship-with-jesus</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e15d59c4c584cedb05a659</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:08:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2b703d_b261ae7b8c1343b38068252fe223d166~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>abeautyofwords190</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discovering My True Identity in Christ]]></title><description><![CDATA[When you have been taught a certain way for so long, it becomes a part of your daily being. In my case, I grew up in a religion that talked about Jesus but did not introduce him as my Lord and savior. Imagine going through life and not knowing this while trying to balance everything else that has come your way.

It might sound strange, but when you embrace Jesus, everything becomes new. I remember sitting on my bed, crying out to God about how much I wanted to move beyond survival mode. For me, it was challenging to let go of control and lower my defenses. Given my background, it made sense, but it was exhausting and overwhelming.

What I used to think that meant: God is going to send money, give me another car, and provide me with the husband I desire. Also, me trying to speed up His timing and how things needed to happen now, like it was on my time!
