Very early in my life I became a victim of abuse, it came in various forms. Being very young when it began I never even thought about it not being normal. It never occurred to me that it was wrong, to me it was my life, there was no way for me to know any different.
Later, when I was about nine or ten, I was shocked to learn; this is not normal, not everyone goes through this. My life changed drastically that day! Even though I was still being abused I knew in my mind that this should not be happening and it needs to stop! I, from that day on, began plotting a way for that to happen, how and when, I did not know, but I wasn't going to give up until then.
I did escape the abuse only to have it come back to me through the gut wrenching stories of the many people, both young and old, that I have counseled over these almost forty years.
I have made it my business to be about doing God's business. I am very busy counseling and encouraging hurt and damaged lives get to the one that can bring them from being a victim to being VICTORIOUS with God!view less
