Thank you for adding this thread. It gives me a place where I can be 100% me. Though my faith has been rocked to the core by trauma, it remains the rock on which I stand. I’m glad that we have a place to go where people with other beliefs or no beliefs don’t have to participate if they choose not to. I have been atheist because of the trauma of my childhood, but the trauma of my first marriage brought me to my faith. My favorite verses in all of the Bible are
““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭

Isaiah 43:18-19
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

This verse speaks to my transformation, moving forward, and embracing a new life ahead. I’ve done so much work to uncover the truth, to survive, and now to truly live. I am no longer stuck in the wilderness—I'm walking out of it. I hope others find their way, too.

Hope it’s OK for me to contribute a little.

2nd Corinthians 4:8-9
“We are hard-pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed.”

Found it on a note, it’s nice.

This verse is powerful. It speaks to the journey I've been on, and I'm grateful for the reminder that even in the hardest times, there was always a way forward.

I have been on one wild ride all of my life, and I now have friends who get that! Along the there were times when the only thing that I had to hold onto was a verse and one little strand flowing from me up to heaven. I held on for dear life to so many verses along the way. I would love to share some with you.

“But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, [Jacob,] he who formed you, [Israel]: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;...” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ a

“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭18‬

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬

I can look back at the awful things me and my children have gone through and be thankful for it. Were it not for my experience with my father and his suicide, my son would probably not still be here. I have been coaching him for 23 years through many suicide attempts and suicidal ideation. Were it not for my first husband, I would not have come to the end of myself and cried out for the Lord to save me from it all. He didn’t save me the way I expected, but he turned the shades of black and gray into a rainbow of colors. He brought light into my darkness. And were it not for my current husband, I would not be the person I am today with a hope and a future to help women in similar circumstances.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭

Since my son has been on the streets I want to work with homeless people. I have been watching America’s Got Talent as a diversion, and I have seen 3 different choirs made up of homeless people. I would love to be a part of that.

Isaiah 43:1-3 speaks to me on a personal level. The idea of being called by name, of belonging to something greater, and of not being consumed by the fires we walk through is a reminder that survival is not just about endurance but about transformation. I’ve walked through my fire, and though I wasn’t sure I’d make it out, I now see that I did. And like you, I want that to mean something.

Your desire to work with the homeless and to turn your experience into service is something I deeply respect. That verse, comforting others with the comfort we’ve received, resonates. I’ve spent years processing my pain, but maybe part of the next chapter is using what I’ve learned to help others. It’s a reminder that even the darkest paths can lead to something good, even if it’s not what we expected.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I’m touched many are enjoying this post. I have worked w mission groups in other countries like Guatemala where people live at the garbage dump. and have started a group of people in USA to work with the homeless and needy here. Once more official maybe I’ll be able to share details so others can get involved.
