My word for 2018 was JOY so I bought a necklace with the word “joy” on it to remind me…

I'm so happy you're here.

My name is Michelle Viscuse, and my passion is to inspire women to have courage, hope, and freedom in Jesus Christ. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and Jesus delivered me from my past filled with secrets and shame.
He will do the same for you.

Freedom is possible with Jesus.

Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:12‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Why Journey Pink?
👑
I didn’t feel like a daughter of the King. Certainly not beloved.
👑
The heaviness of secrets and shame weighed me down. I started seeing a Christian Counselor hoping to find relief from the flashbacks and night terrors.
👑
Healing seemed impossible.
👑
One day, back in 2013, I came across Zechariah 9 in the Message Bible, and these words illuminated the page.
👑
“Shout and cheer, Daughter Zion!
Raise the roof, Daughter Jerusalem!
Your King is Coming! A good king who makes all things right.
I’ve had it with war.
He will offer peace.
I’ll release your prisoners from their hopeless cells.
Come home, hope-filled prisoners!
This very day I am declaring a double bonus – everything you lost returned twice-over!
God-of-the-Angel-Armies will protect them – all-out war, the war to end all wars, no holds barred.
Their God will save the day. He’ll rescue them.
They will become like sheep, gentle and soft, or like gemstones in a crown, catching all the colors of the sun. Then they’ll shine! shimmer! glow!
The young men, robust. The young women lovely.”
👑
I read it over and over and in different translations. I wanted to believe the promises in this chapter were for me. My heart longed to be a beloved Daughter of the King, His princess.
👑
I kept hearing Journey Pink in my mind, over and over. I loved the color pink and wore it often to remind myself that He loved me, although I sometimes struggled to believe it.
One morning, I heard Journey Pink and PINK – Princess In Need of a King. 💖
👑
Journey of a Princess in Need of a King.
👑
I started writing my story of healing from the devastation of childhood sexual abuse, and hope to publish it soon.
👑
If you feel like a prisoner in the hopeless cell of shame, cling to the promises in Zechariah 9.
👑
Your King is coming! A good King who makes all things right.
👑
You are a beloved daughter of the King.💖

“Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you.
If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there;
if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath.”

🚨”Brace Yourself”🚨
Trauma has a way of running these words in the background of our minds. (Constantly)
🚨
Don’t get too cozy. Danger is ahead. Always be on look out. Be ready for the next big wave. It’s coming. Any minute now.
🚨
Brace yourself.
🚨
I find it happens more often than I’d like to admit. It especially ramps up and gets loud when there’s a change of pace or scenery. The unknown can be good or bad - it’s still unknown. This includes vacations, new seasons, new schedules - all new and unknown.
🌊
Instead of thinking “brace yourself” I’m replacing these thoughts with “be still & know.” I’m reflecting on how God has met me in every wave. He lifted me up gently with each wave. The waves didn’t take me out.
🌊
It doesn’t mean trauma doesn’t still rear it’s ugly head, and often. It means when I hear the old alarms, I have to take a moment to be still & know.
🌊
🎶God will work it out.🎶
🌊
It’s worship Wednesday & if you are dealing with the waves of trauma, I pray this song brings your soul peace.

Life was good. I thought everything was going well

Life was good. I thought everything was going well until it wasn’t. Suddenly, there were some sharp turns in the roads of life, and I found myself in the ruins. Deep in despair. Have you been there?
One minute you are thriving in life. You are on the mountaintop and feeling blessed. All smiles. Yes, life is good until tragedy sucker-punches you from behind and tosses you into a sinking pit of ruins.
Our ruins may look different:
•grief
•trauma
•shame
•job loss
•illness
•injury
•depression
•finances
•Betrayal
•Addiction
•Watching our kids suffer
•losing a friend
•dissolving a marriage.
Our ruins may be different, but we all recognize the pain and the sleepless nights. We know the struggle to get out of bed with heartache swelling inside of our chest.
The ruins are no fun. They are not something we look forward to, yet we land there. Unexpected. Smack dab in the middle of misery.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble but take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NIV
This verse doesn’t promise us a pain-free existence. It warns us that we will have trouble. Bad things will happen. We will find ourselves in the ruins.
The big question is how will we respond? How can we possibly thrive in the ruins?
Next weekend, I will share this message of “How to Thrive in the Ruins” at the @boundlesssisterhood Women’s Thrive conference, and we will look at Tamar’s story to discover what it takes to thrive in the ruins. If you are struggling or find yourself in the ruins of life, I pray you will join us and be encouraged to thrive no matter your circumstances. If you have friends that live near Durham, NC, who could use some sweet fellowship and encouragement, please invite them and bring them with you. Tickets are only $25 and include lunch. The conference starts at 9 am (doors open at 8:30 am) on Saturday, September 17, 2022, at LifeSpring Church at 3707 Garrett Rd. Durham, NC 27707

Are you ready to Thrive?
