Who knew that would create such a mess?<br /><br />CARRIE, thank you for your very moving post. As a victim of every kind of childhood abuse for most of my childhood, until 18 years of age, I can certainly attest to God's healing power in our emotional as well as our physical being. I still have issues I'm working on, but God has brought me so far. <br /><br />I shared my testimony before our lady's group at church, and the following Sunday a couple of ladies came to me with a big hug, and said they had thought it was EASY for me to serve God. I had a great husband and family, a wonderful house and car, and no problems! haha That's a wonderful testament to God, when people have no clue the nightmare you have been through, but are still serving Him! Plus it also teaches us not to envy another person's life, for we know not the battles they are going through.<br /><br />Some of our greatest Bible teachers were abused and God took that that the enemy meant for harm and turned it to good. I read a book by Joyce Meyer entitled Beauty for Ashes, where she describes her abuse and deliverance in detail, Stormy (by Stormy O'martian), and Get Out of that Pit by Beth Moore. All wonderful women of God, including Kim V. Sawyer, who were set free by the mighty power of God!Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-62514822011974883322012-03-24T10:33:40.696-04:002012-03-24T10:33:40.696-04:00Thanks Carrie for your commentary on this tough to...Thanks Carrie for your commentary on this tough topic.<br /><br />I haven't been around much this week. Didn't have much time to hang out with you, because we had workers fixing a new roof on our house. Those guys always need more coffee or other refreshments. ;) But I'm glad that the job is finished now!Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.com
