20 Jun Learning To Trust Again by Carrie Fisher
Many of us, at some point in our lives, have struggled with trust issues. We’ve been hurt so +much that we find it difficult to open up to people. I have struggled with trust issues most of my life. Because of how I looked (I was born with a facial deformity after surviving a botched abortion), I was relentlessly teased and bullied by my peers. Even some of the teachers made fun of me. The teasing continued well into my adult years. All those years of bullying wreaked havoc on my life. I became withdrawn and isolated myself. I had gotten so depressed and felt so hopeless, that I tried to take my own life (which by God’s grace, I survived with no ill effects). I had gotten so angry and bitter; I hated my life. When I tried to make friends, I was most always rejected. The few times I opened up and shared my pain, I was told that was life, get over it. It all became too much for me to handle, so I just shut down. I became like a hermit and kept to myself. I don’t think I ever got out much. I figured why bother; I’ll just be rejected again. I didn’t trust church people either, so I avoided any level of fellowship. Church was the last place I wanted to go, because some people in the church had hurt me. So here I was, I didn’t trust God or people. I was determined to make it on my own. Well, that didn’t work. I just became even more bitter. I was a negative Nellie, LOL! God never intended for us to be solo pilots. We need each other, especially in these times we’re living in today. God began tugging at my heart, and I knew I needed to overcome my trust issues. Today, I am a very happily married inspirational pro-life speaker, blogger, and author. My husband and I attend a wonderful congregation in Humble, Texas where we live. By God’s grace, I have learned to trust again, and it has changed my life. God is no respecter of persons. What He did for me, He can do for you. I pray you will overcome your trust issues and be free to trust again.
