Through Another’s Eyes

When you have had the opportunity to have your story told, but never felt seen as you shared.

They know your story can raise the money, you can gain support for the cause, but will be quickly discarded after.

Is it safe to let someone else hear and give them the opportunity they are asking for? To see you?

I shared. And then through another’s eye’s they shared back.

A lot of the emotions are about your story, but also for what it brings up from my own story

They saw. They stayed. They let me feel safe, secure, and supported. Thank you, for letting me see myself through another’s eyes. Thank you that is was not for your gain alone, but for the healing of the Father to our souls, our stories, united by His Spirit.
