But God loves you
Isaiah 30:18 So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help.
On a Friday evening in March, I sat with my husband watching something on Netflix at the end of a tiring day. Suddenly, something triggered a flashback. I felt like I was inside a glass prism that was shrinking around me, pressing in until I couldn’t breathe. I was suffocating, but “knew” that if I cracked the glass to free myself, I would shatter into a pile of shards on the floor.
My alarmed husband said, “We need to find help for you.”
Enter Tom, a patient, skilled trauma therapist, gently guiding me through one soul-lacerating memory after another and covering it all with prayer.
