Sweetness dripped off her words like rain, and at each sentence, I felt my hands clench. I knew what she did to my family. The rumors she’d spread, the accusations, the blackmail. “I was only trying to help,” she said, “it was my Christian duty.” Maybe she actually thought that. Or [...]]]></description>

By RTF Editor Bekah Hamrick Martin
Some of you know my story.
Shame.
Loss.
Depression.
Worthlessness.

These are some of the words that haunted me on the darkest nights.
I heard the lie over and over again as a teen that life wasn’t worth living. That things would never be different. That nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Would. Ever. Get. Better.
I don’t know where [...]]]></description>

Ever done one of those trust exercises where you fall back and let a friend catch you?
Well I haven&#8217;t. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t trust my friends. I would trust them wholeheartedly with certain things. Such as taking care of my things if I was gone, or handling my money, [...]]]></description>

The Bible is full of stories in which God asked His children to &#8220;get up and go!&#8221;
Recently, He&#8217;s been having me dig a little deeper into those very stories. And He&#8217;s boggled my mind with this fact: When the Lord asked His people to go, He rarely told them where they [...]]]></description>

I have a self-esteem issue. It’s not just an issue, though &#8212; it’s actually a huge problem in my life.

I was hanging out with some friends recently. It was just after we had seen a movie, and we stopped by a store on the way home. 
Old feelings rose up in me. Feelings of worthlessness, rejection, and ugliness. At first they succeeded in bringing me down, but why was I was looking at what the [...]]]></description>
