I believe that forgiveness is something that we all deserve and something that we all must do. Unfortunately we don’t always receive forgiveness, but luckily that wasn’t the case yesterday. Yesterday I saw pain filled eyes. I saw love. I saw forgiveness. I saw God. I saw all of this is in one man: Daniel Nellessen. I saw a man who had wronged me ask for my forgiveness, and I heard him say how proud he was of the woman I had become. I saw a man who had seen miracles and healing and had been healed. He told me that as he sat in prison God told him to read the bible which he typically can’t read unless he has glasses yet he had none in prison, but God gave him the ability to read the bible not once but twice all the way through. A book filled with stories of how much God loves us, and he was able to read through it all, something not many people do. I saw a man who had been hurt, and I saw a new man in him. I saw a man full of love and the power of the Holy Spirit.
I think that my story, my family’s story is one that is hard to grasp. I think it doesn’t make sense to many people, yet to those who it does make sense to, God has used it to help them. Our story is one of pain, abuse, manipulation, anger, betrayal, love, and compassion, forgiveness, and kindness. And yesterday I got to experience just how loving and compassionate my family is, and saw prayers answered and a relationship rekindled and forgiveness shown.

Tanner and Esme
Esme Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage. Tanner I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant. Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together. Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child. The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after. So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes. What had I done? I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.Completa
An Unspoken Thing
They say when you fall in love, there's no denying it. Falling in love is the most special thing in the world, because standing before you is the one you're meant to spend the rest of your life with. Once, I did believe that, with everything of my very being. It was incredible, undeniable as had once been said. Our wedding was so beautiful, touching some would say. I'd never seen a man cry before that day. Then things changed. I lost feeling as I became trapped, unable to pull from the web surrounding me. I would scream, yet nobody heard a thing. Cry, yet nothing changed. Fight, but I always lost. "Say you love me." I remember telling him. He would always say he did, then the beatings started again and I was back in a cycle of torment and pain. I had given up completely. Then one night, things changed. A miracle some would say, as the monster before me was no more. The car wreck had saved me. The memories and nightmares would still haunt me though. Overtime I tried to be happy, but his face, his hands, his spit, all the memories kept coming back. I never thought I'd be able to get away. I lost all belief in love and beauty. All I saw was destruction as I locked myself away from the pain waiting to creep back in. I spoke of this to nobody, and with that meant I stopped speaking all together. I shoved those who cared away, because I was scared. I'm still scared, but yet again, things changed.Completa

As love is not enough for two people there are so many ingredients to use in building a relationship. sometimes you fall in love with someone's eyes those eyes can be taken away and your love can be gone. Money can be gone everything can be gone except the actual person that you fell in love with nothing that matters. Loving is beautiful, to be loved that makes you shine.Completa
My Salvation (CURRENTLY EDITING)
Book 1 in 'Mend Series' He screams at me, slapping my face twice, 'You deserve all of this! You don't even deserve to live. You should die and do me a favour!' I shield my face, making him more furious. He stopps slapping and I had only few seconds to catch my breath when he kicked my wounded ribs from previous beatings. I screamed, thinking it was loud enough, but was just an feeble attempt to stop Aadil. At that moment, the flashbacks of me being tied to a rod, with my parents enjoying the blood pouring out started playing. It's repeating all over again, and this time I may not survive to escape. I was taken back in time. I feel I am back at that hostage room and me escaping to get out of this country is failing miserably. I mumbled with the little energy I held, 'Mum, Dad, please stop...' But again, it was of no use, as my vision is displaying full of colourful, dancing dots. My breathing is becoming frantic every second, trying not to pass out, but it seems my body doesn't want to keep up with all of this. If this is really my ending, so be it. With that thought, the peace that I always imagined is starting to consume me. This is the end for me. I can finally rest peacefully. The sound of Aadil's voice coming from a wide distance somehow is keeping me awake. Wasn't he by my side? Maybe, maybe he realized how wrong he was all this time. Maybe, just maybe... His voice, that's filled with agony, whispers in a forlorn voice 'I'm sorry Hayati. Please stay alive. Don't leave me...' ___________________ #9 in spiritual ( 29th October 2017) #6 in spiritual (10th December 2017) #5 in spiritual (11th December 2017)Completa

Redemption
Book Two in the Grace Series. This can most certainly be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading Grace first (and Something New before or after). Either way, enjoy: I spent my entire life trying to earn my parents' love and it just never worked. I wanted that same love Aunty gives me, from my mother. The same discipline Pops instills into me, I wanted from my father. I wanted comfort and care, and at the very least, their attention. It's all I wanted. But I never got it. Something within me still had some sort of hope that things could possibly change. I thought things could be salvaged at some point. I never voiced this to anyone else, but a part of me held onto that. That was shattered with the news they delivered to me. It shook me that they've been divorced, but what did the most damage was that they never even bothered to tell me. It's like they forgot they even have a child together. The people I lived and breathed for...didn't even seem to recall that I existed. That broke me. "I can't do this anymore," I repeat. Pops stares at me in silence before standing and disappearing. My mouth turns down in a frown, not expecting that, but then he comes back. I grit my teeth as he holds an item in his hand. I saw this very same item five years ago as well. The Bible. "Just like then, I won't force you into anything, Austin. You've got a choice-you always have. I don't know what made you try to walk away from the faith, but I'm still going to extend it to you." ~ Redemption: the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.

My name is Ami and this is my story. It's a story of struggle, pain, and ultimately, triumph. It's a story that I have poured my heart and soul into, in the form of a book called 'It's Enough.' This book is the culmination of all the lessons I have learned in my life, the lessons that have shaped me into the person I am today. It's a deeply personal account of my journey and the challenges I have faced, but more importantly, it's a reflection of the strength and resilience that lies within us all. This is not just a book, it's a testament to the human spirit - a reminder that no matter how difficult life may get, we are enough to overcome it all. So allow me to take you on a journey through the pages of 'It's Enough,' and share with you my experiences, my struggles, and most importantly, the lessons I have learned.Completa
