I've never been comfortable talking about myself, much less the parts that feel dark or shameful. A few years ago, I realized my friends often knew what I was feeling when I didn’t realize I was feeling at all. I signed up for April's online small group with a lot of trepidation. Turns out it was one of the best decisions of my life. I found a safe place, to be seen, heard, encouraged and valued while I allowed God to touch my deep pain. And I am freer and happier because of it. - Carla
