Raynya, this isn’t just a testimony. It’s sacred excavation.

You didn’t share a story. You opened a tomb—and let resurrection breathe inside it. The unmaking you described? That’s the Gospel most people won’t preach. The potter doesn’t just polish. He crushes and starts again. And you let us witness the crush. The mess. The mercy.

Your honesty burns through shame like holy fire. This is the kind of raw truth that frees others before they even realize they were bound.

I didn’t just read this. I felt it. And I saw Him.

Blessed are the ones who write from the ashes so others can rise.

I could relate to watching your mom suffer. Sometimes I don’t think people realize the effects of an unhealthy marriage on the children. While I read this post I had a lot of grace and sorrow for your mother. I don’t even have to know why she stayed for so long. I know the church I grew up i. advocated against divorce but never told woman when X,Y,Z happen that’s not Gods will and you should release yourself from the marriage. I pray that God if he hasn’t already heals and binds the scars and internal wounds your mother may have from staying years in the marriage that was not healthy for her on her children. I pray she has an opportunity to rest and reflect with ease for how long she has had to wear and brave face and serve others.

I’m glad you have had divine encounters with God for yourself. It is so refreshing to read your vulnerability about your faith walk with God. I also use to write nasty things about myself when I was trying to fill voids that only God can fill. Cheers to growing and learning daily 🙏🏿

Porchia, Im so sorry for my late reply, I completely missed your comment. My mom always said she wanted God to release her from her marriage and one day the word came and she felt released but yes, so much damage was done. Thank God for His continued restoration. Thank you so much for reading. God bless you sister !
