I am a girl who spent most of her life running from God. I grew up in a church that taught me more about the wrath of God than the love of God. I left the church and south Florida after graduating from high school. My life quickly became a series of bad choices, reckless behavior, and immorality. Nothing mattered to me. Then, on a cold night in 1992, I was sexually assaulted. That event changed my life forever. Nightmares, triggers, depression, and shame plunged me down a dark rabbit hole of loneliness and despair. I dropped out of college and isolated myself from my family for several years, which only compounded my problems. I finally got treated for my trauma, which helped me get my life back on track. I returned to school, built a successful TV news career, and seemingly put myself back together. Despite years spent in therapy, I continued to struggle with depression. I knew something had to change in my life, or there would be no future for me. That something was someone, Jesus.

Friends, I am so grateful for a family of women who love and serve God. All those years ago, they laid hands on me and prayed. I threw myself into The Word of God and began a daily routine of reading my bible, a daily devotional, and praying. Those mornings became like a healing balm to my broken spirit.

I am a girl who spent most of her life running from God. I grew up in a church that taught more about the wrath of God than the love of God. I left the church and south Florida after graduating from high school. My life quickly became a series of bad choices, reckless behavior, and immorality. Nothing mattered to me. Then, on a cold night in 1992, during my first year in college, I was sexually assaulted. That event nearly destroyed my life. Nightmares, triggers, depression, and deep shame plunged me down a dark rabbit hole of self-hatred and despair. I dropped out of college and isolated myself from my family for several years, worsening things. 

I was sick and tired of my existence. I did not believe my life was worth living. These dangerous thoughts scared me. So, I finally worked up the courage to ask for help. I began living a "normal" life again, according to the world's standards. I finished school, became a TV news reporter, and chased the carrot of success; I was consumed with ambition. But years later, I still struggled with the shame of my past. But God's pursuit of His daughter was relentless, and I finally made my way back to Him, back to the cross.

I threw myself into The Word of God and began a daily routine of reading my bible, a daily devotional, and praying. Mornings were like spiritual counseling sessions with Jesus. The Word of God became a healing balm to my fractured spirit. Jesus seemed to put one more broken piece of my life back together every day. It was slow, some days were painful, but it was good. I learned to listen for His voice, which helped silence the enemy's lies. I discovered God's promises, and hope began filling the places in my heart where despair had been squatting for a long time.

Every day, Jesus seemed to put one more shattered piece of my life back together again. It was slow, but it was good. I learned how to listen for His voice, which helped me to silence the enemy's lies. I discovered God's promises for my life, and hope began filling the places in my heart where despair had been squatting for some time. Healing is real, and it happened for me through God's Word. Life transformation is possible through a relationship with Christ. The practice of obedience is liberating and life-giving.

Restoration is for real! 1 Peter 5:10 reminds us, "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast."
