Show Notes

  • “I felt loved, but I did not feel seen or heard in my family. I felt invisible.”

  • “The Pastor says I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and when I went under water it was like time stopped because I didn’t know who my dad was, and this man said Father.”

  • Sometimes we don’t realize there is a big gap in our heart that desires to be known or noticed, until we are.

  • “The people we interact with on this planet can mirror how He views us.”

  • “I don’t think the first woman wondered if she was seen and heard. I don’t think Eve ever woke up before the fall and said, ‘Does God see me, and does my husband see me?’”

  • “Are you really there if nobody sees you?”

  • “We would rather be invisible than be exposed.”

  • Our fear of being vulnerable, or being exposed, gets in the way of us being seen or being known.

  • “Is it a right? It is more than a right, it’s what you were created for.” – Referring to a woman questioning if it is her right to be seen and heard.

  • When you feel invisible you think it’s possibly your fault. But when you have that moment where God reveals to you that He sees you, then at least you know: I am not invisible. I am real. I exist.
