Damaged Everyone is damaged but all are not broken What if you were raped at sixteen by the preacher's son? Would you still go to church? What if your mother was a drug addict and you didn't know your father? Would you know how to love? What if your mother taught you to seek the rich and devour the weak? Would you be morally sound? Damaged reveals how one's past can direct their future. Three stunning black women seem to have it all, but each is damaged by something or someone from their past. Outer beauty is chipped away, inner beauty is hidden and only one will capture both. Jade Arlington grew up witnessing the unmovable faith her parents demonstrated. She was destined in her mind to remain pure until marriage. Her life spins out of control by none other than the preacher's son, Brian. Innocent time spent together leads to rape and the seed of pregnancy. Jade heads off to a university in Los Angeles, running from one God only to crash into two devils, Sasha Matthews a self proclaimed gold digger and Tamara Whitfield a punching bag for Todd, her on-and-off again boyfriend.
Is there really life after being damaged? Yes there is life. Life has a way of taking us through seasons that we must go through to obtain. There are four seasons in the natural. Summer, fall, spring, and winter. In every last one of them you experience a different type of weather and in your life every season that you go through you are going tp experience a different effect. Each and every last one of us has something that God has made us responsible for, so lets take charge and let God manifest the things that he has promised. Remember that even if you are damaged you are still not broken.
Abandonment from a love one can hurt you down to your core. Especially if it starts with your mother. Not experiencing love from the person who is suppose to be your first love can be very damaging. There is two ways to look at not wanting your child and giving the child away. One way is if you feel you are absolutely doing your best by giving the child away. The second is that you are just selfish and you do not care about the child. I do know who my birth mother is and we are not on bad terms I love my mother and a lot of things I held on to then, I don't now due to me experiencing motherhood and the different struggles. Do I agree with some of her actions? No. The issue started there with not feeling that love from my mom. Not knowing who my father is. Why did my mom give me up but keep my sister? Why doesn't her husband like me? Wondering if I was a burden to my grandparents and is that why I felt like they were mean because they were hard on me? Did they resent me? All those small feelings that led me to look for love or to feel like I belonged. Getting in the wrong relationships and staying because I didn't have any where else to go. Experiencing women friendships that turned into sexual relationships. Rushing into relationships not knowing when to cut things off because I didn't want any one to feel like I gave up on them because I wanted the same in return. But in return, I experienced a lot of heart ache and confusion. I picked up toxic traits. Its like each encounter I had with people they took something good from me and replaced it with something bad. I never really knew how to love even though I was looking for love. I knew how to survive. So ask yourself are you looking for something you can not even give? If the answer is yes then you still have to work on you and that is okay. I am still working on me and self love is the best love cause when you are bettering your self it is just that much better when your better half come along. That is what I believe. I still have not gave up on the idea of love and I don't let my past experiences determine my future.
Events in our lives, both good and bad, form rings in us like the rings in a tree. Each ring records memories that affect our feelings, our relationships, and our thoughts about God. In this classic work, David Seamands encourages us to live compassionately with ourselves as we allow the Holy Spirit to heal our past. As he helps us name hurdles in our lives—such as guilt, poor self-worth, and perfectionism—he shows us how we can find freedom from our pain and enjoy the abundant life God wants for us.
A fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love—the best and worst thing in the universe—written by the creator of BoJack Horseman with his hallmark scathing dark humor “Transcendent tragicomedy.... Prepare to be devastated and made whole again.” —The A.V. Club Featuring: • A young engaged couple forced to deal with interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices for their wedding. • A pair of lonely commuters who ride the subway in silence, forever, eternally failing to make that longed-for contact. • A struggling employee at a theme park of U.S. presidents who discovers that love can’t be genetically modified. And fifteen more tales of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.
ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
"One of fantasy’s best series." —Booklist, starred review In this explosive conclusion to the epic trilogy that began with Fireborne, Annie and Lee are fighting for their lives—and for each other—as invading dragonfire threatens to burn their home to the ground. A new revolution is underway, and nobody will emerge unscathed. In New Pythos, Griff is facing an execution by the dragonborn, who are furious at his betrayal. He has allies on both sides seeking to defy his fate, but the price of his freedom might come at a dear cost. And Delo will have to make a choice: follow his family, or finally surrender to his conscience. Meanwhile, Annie must race home to hatch a plan to save her Guardians and their dragons. With Callipolis on the brink of collapse and the triarchy set to be reinstated, she may be the one person who can save the city—if she can overcome her own doubts about her future. Lee is a revolutionary at heart, but now he’ll have to find a way to fight with diplomacy. Going up against the dragonborn court and a foreign princess, he faces a test of loyalty that sets his head against his heart. As the fate of Callipolis darkens, Annie and Lee must determine what they are willing to sacrifice in order to save each other, defeat their enemies, and reclaim their home.
