📖 Part 1 of the story :
SHAME LIES.
The story of our little ranch has roots tangled up in shame! 🫣 Sure there’s dreams mixed in and hope, but also a LOT of loss and disappointment!
I had the beautiful horse farm and lost it all in a divorce. I rebuilt it all and lost the next one through cancer 💔
The years that followed were financial struggle, trying to make ends meet, living in places I was embarrassed to invite people to. People who heard me talk about the dream of a horse farm for equine healing and EVERYONE saw the gap. Shame.
Continuing to build our entrepreneurial journey - holding on to faith in God’s promises for us and feeling shame that we hadn’t “arrived at success”
….. but shame lies; tells you “you’re not enough, you’re less than, maybe you should accept less.”
Shame wants to keep things hidden, covered where it can continue to whisper its deception to us in the darkness.
We fear that shame exposed can hurt us but what if instead what’s REVEALED CAN BE HEALED ❤️🩹
There’s a verse that says “what is done in the darkness will come into the light” - we tend to interpret this as a shameful exposure - instead could it be a tender invitation of what holds us in darkness will come into the light of love for the hope of freedom?
This was the start of our journey- a vulnerable meeting with Rebecca Mariani and tearfully opening up my hearts desire and my feelings of failure that I didn’t think we could afford our own home -much less property!!
⛓️💥Shames hold was broken that day and we found partners to journey with us!
Restoration Ranch is all about journeying with YOU
…… and NO MORE SHAME!!! 🙌🏻
