Remembering

I'm amazed at how our brain can cover-up a horrible incident that took place in our life and tuck it away until it knows that you are strong enough to deal with it. Even then, it only offers up bits and pieces so to not overwhelm you. It's our minds way of keeping us safe and making sure we can make it through what it feels we need to remember. The memory flashes are quick, sometimes shocking and most times, cause you to question as to whether it was real, if not, question your sanity. It's at these times that we need someone reliable to turn to that can hold us up, take our hand and assure us that we can and will make it through the nightmares of our past.

For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. ~Isaiah 41:13
