Burned Clean: What Children Learn in Silence (Chapter 12 Reading)

“God, if You’re still here… I won’t run.”

In Chapter 12 of Burned Clean, Israel hears a song she hasn’t remembered in years... a memory of a father who once kissed her mother’s forehead, who once sang in the kitchen. But the memory doesn’t comfort her. It breaks her. And then, quietly… it begins to open her.

This is the turning point of the daughter.
No fireworks. No altar call.
Just a sentence scratched into a notebook and the sacred act of leaving it open.

📖 In this chapter:
1️⃣ Triggered memories that hit harder than expected
2️⃣ The ache of remembering a time when your family still felt unbreakable
3️⃣ A daughter’s silent surrender—not to her father, but to a God who might still be listening
4️⃣ The theology of leaving the notebook open, even when the prayer feels unanswered

“Maybe prayer is just leaving space for God to speak.”
“And maybe—I’m finally listening.”

This chapter is for:
1️⃣ Daughters who are healing in pencil
2️⃣ Anyone learning to hope without fanfare
3️⃣ Those whose faith is coming back… quietly

🎥 Chapter 12 of Burned Clean is a moment of stillness that speaks volumes. It’s not the resolution, but it’s the whisper that one might be coming.
