Great stuff. I identify with many of your experiences, and in many ways you articulated things that I had not quite put words to yet. I had a pretty painful childhood that I repressed for quite awhile, but like you God has been stirring things up and requiring me to deal with them. What a great blessing to have you share your story. I am very inspired by it. It is very freeing to know that the struggles we carry are not unique and that others carry the same burdens. Christ is truly the one and only redeemer.

Glad to see God is doing great things through you. I would actually love to catch up with you on the adoption process you are going through. We have one son who was born at 28 weeks (Praise God he is perfect), but later found out having a 2nd will be complicated for me. We are prayfully considering adoption and I have been asking God to show me if that is the path we should take.

In Him,

Jen Castro

Jen…I’m always encouraged and awed when God uses my story to speak to and inspire others. Thanks for the affirmations and for sharing a bit of your broken places…I would love to catch up and talk to you about the adoption process and all it entails. I’ll send you my number through FB…Wendy
