Honesty -- Thankful Thursday

This week the article I wrote about my abuse was published. I had the opportunity to share the article with my Bible class this morning, and what a blessing it was for me! Thanks to those sweet ladies for caring, listening and validating me. That's where so much of the healing comes from.

I've been listening to a sermon by Lee Camp called "Upside Down: Shame and Guilt" and was really touched by his comments. Shame leads us to isolation which is the opposite of what we need for healing. So for this Thankful Thursday I'm grateful for the opportunity to share open and honestly about my abuse.
