Inspirational Ink: Insight for a Woman’s Life
by Tammi Ector Fisse
Recently, I went through some rough patches where I questioned much about the way my life’s story has played out. From conception on, I was unwanted by my mother, and she did little to hide that fact during my childhood. During my teens I raced from one codependent relationship to the next in a desperate attempt to escape the abuse I suffered at home. The end result was marrying far too soon and leaping heart over head from the frying pan into the fire. At forty-two, I’m starting to experience some hormonal changes that have wreaked havoc with my peace of mind, so Satan has tried to make me believe that I’ve been paying for that life altering decision all of my adult life. Though I’m free from abuse, happily remarried, have full custody of my children, and have a career that allows me to work in the areas where I’m gifted, I felt disappointed and as if I’d ruined my life. Then, just this week, the Lord spoke to me through something I read in the Daily Bread: Disappointment – Change one letter – His Appointment. Wow, I haven’t been paying, I’ve been training!
