For as long as I can remember, my mom has told me the story of my birth. How I was almost stillborn (like 1/3 of a heartbeat w/ the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck 3xās). How she saw a vision of Satan holding me & God snatched me out of his hands saying He would fully restore me. Sheās always told me God has a plan for me. He saved me for a reason. Iāve always wondered what tht reason could be. Fast forward 13yrs to 2004. I was watching Oprah & there was an episode about rape. I asked my mom how they knew she was raped. My mom explained it. I went to the family computer & looked up stats on rape & domestic violence. I was angry at what I read. Maybe this is the special plan God has for me? Maybe Iām supposed to raise awareness? & so I did. My poor classmates had to hear about these evils. I remember in high school having a meeting at lunch w/ some of the girls & handing out a brochure I made. (Btw Thank you for sitting through my rant) I remember shortly after having what I call a vision. It was about starting a home for rape victims, domestic violence victims & teen moms. Those who were hurt. Who had experienced trauma. Sadly, I would become one of those stats tht had angered me as a teen. I started my teen yrs learning about the horrors of rape & ended them learning about the reality of rape. Itās been 11yrs since then. I have cried, cursed, screamed, gone numb, & everything in btwn. I have questioned how this is part of Godās plan. He saved me for this?!?! I still struggle w/ that last part. Iāve been asked since graduating āwhatās next?āThe answers the same. Iām not sure but I know the ppl I want to help. Itās been the same since 2004. Since I learned of the disregard another human can have towards his fellow human in 2011. Since God called me to Biblical Counseling at Southern in 2018. Until He says otherwise, Iāll continue to fight for & advocate for those who are hurting & have experienced trauma. I guess I always have been stubborn, loud⦠& a tad dramatic. #survivorday #alwaysadvocating #Godhasaplan https://www.instagram.com/p/CefECnpr9eH04Qi0tdENockjC7ouknEA3LT_nc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
