Introduction
M
Many people will start reading this book not knowing who Paula Lorraine is, so I want to start off by stating: My life is abundantly blessed even though it’s not perfect. I was lost and wounded. Now I’m found and walking into wholeness.
I’m not a guru. I’m a person who had a tremendous amount of trauma in my life and found a way to dive into my healing process by listening to the Holy Spirit and being obedient. I’ll share more about my story later to give more context.
I gave birth to my first child at the age of 16 (10 days before my 17th birthday) and continued having babies until I reached number six and decided to stop. This means I have spent more time as someone’s mother than I have been on this planet. Go figure.
I’m a former PK (Preacher’s Kid) who in spite of my Christian upbringing, experienced many traumatic events that impacted my life. The unhealed trauma I lived with for decades caused me to move in and out of dysfunctional relationships, manifesting in three divorces.
I’ve made some poor decisions and choices in various areas of my life, which caused me not to walk in the fullness of God’s plan. Internally I knew that I wasn’t maximizing the life God had given me, but I didn’t know how to fix it.
I’m a mother of six young adults and grandmother of eleven, with one on the way at the writing of this book.
This is my memoir and a testimony of God's power to redeem my life and use my experiences to build resilience as I uncovered my true worth in Him.
