I am second

While doing some late night web browsing (Preparing my sleep schedule for my next night shift).
I was reintroduced to this amazing website: I am second.
I hope that you guys will take a peek at the website, it is packed full of amazing and life changing testimonies.
Including this young lady:

Lauren Scruggs

Who talks about how her faith helped her through her physical struggle after being hit by a plane prop. She suffered a traumatic injury.



 
I love how open and honest these people are about there struggles, I believe their honesty is really beneficial to others, who are in similar situations.   I have had some similar struggles as some of the people on this website,  but I find myself not wanting to talk about my past.  I guess I fear judgment, from my peers, and this silences me.  I do know hurting people need to hear that there is hope for them too.  How are hurting people going to know that there is hope and someone to lean on, if we don’t share our struggles and share how God saved us.
Hope you check out this website, or read the book and get inspired too!
I am Brooke, and I am second.

  4. So true Brooke! It is so important for the people of God to share His goodness not only by sharing our past struggles but also demonstrating love through the way we live our lives. It is only then that the brokenhearted can see and taste that God is good! Blessings to you!
