Jamie Quotes:
“As hard as it was dealing with him, what hurt the most, is her not protecting me. I started to believe I’m not worthy of love.”

“I would not know Jesus if it weren’t for my husband. He entered into my life as a savior and as Jesus with skin on.” If I had not learned to trust his love first, I never would have been put in a position to receive the Father’s love for me.”

“Having a one-sided relationship with a parent is really hard.”

“I am somebody who loves big.”

“My hero was your villain.”

“It was at that moment the stamp was pressed upon me that says ‘you are not lovable’.”
