I honestly didn't think that healing would ever come! I never saw that Jesus died for my sufferings. That alone has changed my life. Then, to move forward and see I was holding on to anger and bitterness towards my parents because of my abuse was not something that I realized I was doing. I knew I was angry and frustrated with both of them but not exactly sure why. In the last two weeks my relationship with my mom has made a big turn and I talked with her about my abuse. It was so freeing to share with her and to see her sorrow and to talk through all of that and to encourage her with scripture. It has changed how I see God. I see him more as a father and protector to me and He wants me to not carry guilt and fear and my past around. Rather, he wants me free from all of that to live a life that is focused on Him and what He did in my life!! I am so grateful for this study!! I honestly feel free from my past!!! I am not defined by what was done to me, but what was done for me!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!
