The Breaker
I am a survivor of many forms of abuse, including being trafficked. God has brought amazing healing to my heart and mind. Recently, I experienced a breakthrough in my heart. I realized that I had a barrier, reinforced by the pain of years of trauma, that I didn't need anymore. By His Spirit, He began to break through the concrete in my soul. This breakthrough will allow all of the beauty and strength that I possess to be released. All of the gifts and treasures that I was created with can be expressed and shared with others. My hope is to share hope while acknowledging the affects that trauma has had. I would never want to minimize the effects of suffering on the human soul. If we do that, we risk losing sight of the truth about the evils that are being perpetrated on people like myself. If we forget that evil is evil, we may become tolerant at some level. My desire is to clearly offer a visual representation of the hope that I have come to have - survivors of multiple atrocities can heal. Below the pain and trauma, behind the barriers that we've created to preserve ourselves, is a wellspring of life and beauty...
Never ever give up.
And if you ever feel the breaking happening inside, don't fear, it could be God making a way for you to be able to be free to be your true self.
