Strung out on the world, she was high on her sin and lost in trauma and tarot cards. Exhausted and burdened by abusive lesbian relationships and an ever-widening gnawing on the inside for more, she cried out to God for rescue, but not before running.
A lot. Maybe you can relate to running from God, too.
Cierra ran everywhere to try to heal her wounds. Those empty wells only splintered her more.
Running to women, the escapism of suicidal thoughts, self-injury, tattoos, binge drinking, and new age practices proved powerless. She tried everything and wasn't healed until she tried God.
Maybe you're like Cierra, finally cognizant of the chains and acutely aware the confusion over your identity is not from God. Perhaps you feel too weak to leave the life you know, your same-sex partner, or the destructive ways giving you a false peace.
This is the point of humility at which God gives grace. He will give you sight and be your strength, healer, and more.
After years of dodging Jesus, periodically popping in to acknowledge His authentic existence, Cierra shares how she began to trust God and see:The crystals were empty and had no protection or salvation in themThat the sexual abuse, mother, and father wounds caused a fragmenting of her identityTarot cards were an illegal entrance into the spiritual realm that almost cost her life Depression and suicidal ideation were a plan for her destruction, gone awryThe women she chased were all idols to be abolished by the true and living GodOn a vulnerable tour of brokenness and rebuilding, Cierra's prose reveals a trail of redemption and broken chain links to the Savior, Jesus Christ, and His better plan. He never hated her as she once believed.
And He wasn't afraid to find, clean, and love her. Jesus is also waiting to save you.
