Wednesday night we began a new series called "Scarred". We are looking at the scars we have in our life...not so much physical, but emotional and relational. We are looking at the scars we have on our heart and our soul. With most of the physical scars we have there is a story behind it, the same is true with our emotional and relational scars. We began by understanding that it is important to admit that we have pain in our past and because of those pains, we are being effected by them even today. I tried to express that I know that they hurt....because I hurt...because our other adults hurt. Click on the pics below to read their scar stories. This is also an opportunity to share your scars. Leave a comment....share what scars you have from your past. This can be done totally anonymously.

i think one of the biggest scars i have is just from trying to fit in in my past. in elemntary school i was never considered the pretty girl or someone people really wanted to be friends with. i tried so ahrd to fit in. i tried to be like people who at the time i thought were cool and at the time i didn't know who God was so I didn't know that I was a masterpiece in His eyes. And I look at the same people today I tried so hard to fit in and realize that I would hate being their friend because God has given me such an amazing youth group and group of friends to know and be close to.
oh. i have another one.
when i was in third grade, i had constant stomachaches. never found out why. my parents would try everything to get me to eat. it drove my parents nuts. my dad once punched a hole in my door cuz he got so mad. i remember getting so thin. i was like 60 pounds at the age of 8. it eventually went away but every time i get a stomachache im afraid its gonna go back to that. back to the doctors being so confused and the pyschiatrist trying to figure out what was going on. it was never an anorexia thing [i was 8. didnt even know what it was] but its something that ill always remember, something that was a trial to me at a young age.
