Confessions of a Complicated Black Girl

Fathers

Fathers play a critical role in the lives of their children, and the impact of their presence or absence speaks volumes to the heart. In this episode, I share a bit about my relationship with my own father and how God revealed His desire for my heart to be restored. My hope is that you find peace and comfort in knowing that the same hope of restoration and healing is for you too!  Love you, -Melody Music Cred: Flushing the Stairs-  Leavv - Flushing the Stairs https://chll.to/3ccaf2ca [https://chll.to/3ccaf2ca] J.Folk - Trainride https://chillhop.com Allem Iversom, little blue - Small Whispers https://chll.to/76469aa9 [https://chll.to/76469aa9] Knowmadic, Shy Guy - Alone https://chll.to/f5cec390 [https://chll.to/f5cec390] Blue Wednesday - Overgrown https://chll.to/efee2f7e [https://chll.to/efee2f7e] #fathers #fatherwounds #healing #faith #christian #wholeness #ache #heart #restoration
