I am that I am: Confronting Childhood Trauma's Grip on Who You Are

By Ingelein Hodgman

In 2016, a journey of healing began, one that would stretch across years, reshaping not only the life of its traveler but also the lives of those who would one day read these pages. What started as a deeply personal pursuit of restoration and wholeness eventually became a divine calling that could not be ignored. By 2020, amidst the ongoing process of healing, the gentle yet undeniable prompting of the Holy Spirit led to writing--not with the initial intention of creating a book, but simply as a means of processing pain, understanding experiences, and seeking God's guidance. These writings, once private reflections, soon took on a greater purpose when the Lord confirmed the need to share them. The daunting task of transforming years of notes, emotions, and revelations into a coherent testimony began, requiring faith, perseverance, and surrender. For over a year, this journey of writing unfolded, sifting through reflections, organizing thoughts, and seeking divine wisdom to craft a message that would resonate with others. What emerged was not just a collection of words, but a testimony of transformation--a testimony of moving from brokenness to wholeness, from darkness to light, sustained by the grace of God. Throughout this book, there are references to Strong's Concordance, particularly the Hebrew and Greek meanings of words in Scripture. These deeper understandings unlocked profound revelations, unveiling layers of meaning hidden in plain sight. Each discovery led to more questions, more revelations, and ultimately, a greater sense of healing. Now, this story is no longer just a personal journey--it is an offering. A gift extended to those who seek healing, hope, and encouragement. May this book serve as a light in the wilderness, a reminder that no matter how deep the pain, no matter how impossible healing may seem, God's love and grace remain ever-present.
