A woman's story · The Hem of His Garment

struggled, now has tools to battle

I have struggled for so many years with the burden of what happened to me as a child and young adult. I have carried it with me for so long that I did not know where to turn. Though I prayed and read scripture, I knew I needed to seek counsel. I put it off for a long time. Then we attended the G3 conference in Atlanta last year. The Lord providentially led me to the booth. I spoke with two women there who shared what the program was about. After getting home I prayed about it as well as consulted my husband to see if this would be the right fit for me. That is when I reached out. It has been a long, sometimes difficult journey. I had to revisit old memories that I had buried for so long and as hard and painful as it was it was worth it. I have learned to let go. I have learned to forgive and ask forgiveness. I am overwhelmed by the grace the Lord has given me through it all. I know the future will still have some struggles and there will be times I will be tempted to wallow in my sorrow and sin, but I now have tools to help me battle this. I am thankful this program exists and know it will help so many others. I hope to one day be a part of helping another woman who has gone though some of the struggles I have.
