1 Corinthians 12:12-31 ESV
"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body..."
Romans 12:4-5 ESV
"For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another."
Ephesians 4:16 ESV
"From whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."

Trauma affect us all. If I have trauma and your in a relationship with me, well now you've got the effects of trauma because I'm bringing them with me. Then, if that is not enough? You probably have some of your own trauma. Well, that pretty well sums up marriage, friendship, parenting and even the workplace--and Oh, do not forget about church. So, that's why I am discussing our topic today.
Everyone loves to hear about the fact that my husband and I have been married for over 45 years. While many may take pride in that, I don't. I thank God everyday for keeping us together. We truly complement one another. We are just two messed up people that decided a long time ago, we were going to keep our commitment to God and to one another. But, it was in no way easy. We were both broken individuals. God has been working on us all of our life. You could probably say the same thing. Why? Because God is good and He loves us all.
So, many of you also know that I was abandoned by my mother once and by my father over and over many times. This trauma caused me as Kelly Clarkson sings, to have trust issues and to live my life afraid. Kelly Clarkson for those of you that may not know is a popular singer that rose to fame for winning the first season of American Idol in 2002. She is the poster child for abandonment. Her father divorced her mother when she was six and her siblings were split up. It has affected Kelly's life, her relationships and music career. I say that because positively she has written amazing songs and has amassed a huge fortune. She has also battled weight gain, went through a divorce and had many emotional struggles. She is one of my hero's as she continually struggles with abandonment. This of course is not a hear me rattle on about famous personalities--but Adele is another famous vocalist who has battled abandonment. It shows up in their craft, giftings and in their struggles.
I have come to the point in my journey where abandonment, CEN, CPTSD and all that accompanies these traumas are working for me not against me. I have learned that what works to destroy us, can be used to build others. I want to encourage you nothing is too hard for God. Nothing. I am using the skills I have acquired in my journey to teach others and equip others so they can successfully navigate through the muddy waters of trauma. The ores are hard to maneuver and require skill and care in traversing these waters of trauma. Sometimes we can't see what we've come through until we look back. I pray that one day you too will be looking back. That in your future is a platform on which to stand and share with the world that, "I once was blind but now I see--was lost but now I'm found."
