I believe that life is a process of finding the true purpose of what God intended for us when He made the decision to create us. I also believe that God’s way of showing us how to be committed teachers of His words and healers of His lost children’s hearts is by teaching us that, even in the hardest lessons of our lives, there is great wisdom to be learned. Taking Back What My Darkness Stole offers to readers my personal memories of coming to terms with a painful and tortured past. Those memories are recorded in my journals as a narrative in which I openly detail many painful life experiences. Through reflection and prayer, I have successfully battled those demons and am now facing the struggles of trying to repair the damage that was done to my daughters and me. My desire is that my story could help show others like myself how to break those chains of darkness that bind them and defeat them from generation to generation. I would like to show them how to look at the roots of their pains and heal them from there instead of just medicating them with the many things that this world has given us to lose ourselves in. When we do that, then we can learn to embrace those who seem so lost to the outside world and help to show them how to find a way to start their own healing process. To let them know that if they follow the road that God has laid out for them, letting God lead them each step of the way, then they can live in victory and have joy, peace and love in abundance. And nothing and nobody on earth will be able to take those things from them.
