While it’s really none of anyone’s business, as to the exact time I wake and sleep, I will say that I finally did wake from a very long sleep, nearly two years ago. I’ve no intention of laying back down!

My eyes were closed to so many important things, for the majority of my earthly life. My childhood was incredibly painful and difficult, leaving me no choice but to shut my eyes, long before I’d ever become an adult. I refused to open them, for fear of the nightmares I’d endured. I think it’s like that for many others, as well as myself.

It’s never easy to open ones eyes in the midst of painful memories, or while experiencing heartache, but it is possible, I’m sure of it!

If I was able to wake from my nightmares, to walk into life and light… then I think this is possible for others, as well.

To anyone still struggling with their own nightmares, I pray they remember these things,

You are never alone!

You are so very loved!

There IS life after the nightmare’s!

When you’re ready to wake up and walk forward, God is right there to give you a hope and a future!

God was there all along, but I just wasn’t able to see him because my eyes were closed.

Here, have a cookie…
