I am divorced
I am a female
I am 102 years old.
My birthday is: August 18th.
I live in Foley AL USA
I am 28 years old and have 2 beautiful daughter, 9 and 6.
I am divorced, but currently engaged to a wonderfule loving man.
I grew up Southern Baptist as a younger child, and was confrimed Episcopalian. I'm kind of a mut in the denomination department.
I currently work for a Methodist church, but really believe myself to be of no denomination other the Christian. I would like to see all Christian denominations return to a church that looks more the first/early church of the apostles. Being about the Lord's business and nothing else.
I am on a beautiful journey with God, and I am amazed everyday by Him.
I grew up in a southern Baptist church and attended sunday school and church services frequently, but I am sad to say the years spent in the Baptist church I attended di not provide me with much spiritual growth. I would generally say that my personal relationship with God has a been a tumultuous one. I have felt the hand of God and presence of God on me since I was a small child. I grew up in a very spiritually oppressed family with a history of sexual abuse and the denial that comes along with it. I was abused from a time befor i can remember until I was about 13 when I went against my entire family and broke the silence. I had made several attempts to seek protection from my family and parents, but like I said before, many of them who were also abused had been preconditioned into denial and secret keeping and they basically pretended like I never told them or that it wouldn't happen again. I was an outcast form that point on. The family members who knew i was telling the truth (because they had also been abused by the same person) covered up the crimes and told the other family members I was lying. They all came to court prepared to perjur themselves to protect him. I went to live with my Father out of town. The next few years were rocky and very difficult as my Dad was remarried and that relationship was touch and go as I was viewed as a burden to his new wife. I alwasy believed in God but I questioned His heart toward me because of all that He allowed and how I was basically on my own from a very young age. I went through a period of drugs and alcohol and sex, trying to ignore the issues below the surface. Not long after i had my first daughter, I was led to begin going to counseling and the Lord began to work powerfully in my life. I began to be set free from bondage i didn't even know I was under! It was as if I had lived in a dark room my whole life and God was showing me what the world looked like with the lights on. I now have 2 daughters and have come such a long way down the road of healing and repair. It is a journey, and I have back stepped, but God never leaves me. I have been filled with The Holy Spirit, and feel God moviing in me everyday. I'm not sure what exactly he has in store for me, but I believe it is most likely a calling to teach the word of God as I have a voracious desire for studying the word and sharing those insights with others. Jesus said He came to set the captives free and bind up the broken hearted, and that is exactly what He has done for me.
I am happy to report that reconcilliation is well on it's way with my family. I have truly forgiven them and I believe God is using me in their lives to hopefully spark the healing process in them as well. I am sad to say that the patriarch who was the abuser commited suicide a few years ago, and though I attempted, I could not get him to talk with me about the abuse. I know I have forgiven him, and I am grieved that I was not able to affect his life through God's grace
