The Butterfly Effect

There's physical pain, like bumping your knee against the bedpost in the middle of the night, worse, your pinky...a definite ouch! We know that there may be a bump, or a bruise, but it will heal. We've experienced this, right ladies?! But, what about emotional pain? Mental pain? Psychological pain? A pain that stems from a sexual assault? A rape? The pain that you knew this person.....that you trusted him.....how do we heal from something like this? Will we ever heal? Are we tainted, now....forever?

God is The Almighty Healer and Restorer. He is actually in the business of doing just that, healing and restoring us. Restoring what was taken from us. Healing our hearts, wounds, minds and souls. Teaching us to trust again...to trust in Him. I didn't know this. I didn't think I could be healed from a traumatic experience. An experience I tried to bury so deep down inside because I was too ashamed...because I secretly blamed myself...because... what would people think of me. How do they see me? Do they know? Are they whispering about me?

This book is about healing, being restored and becoming the new creation in Jesus. It's about me allowing God to turn the huge, gaping wound in the middle of my chest into a beautiful scar...for Him. It's about telling my story, which brings healing and releases the yoke of bondage from around my neck. It's about no longer being silent. It's about being free. It's about fully trusting God.

Being vulnerable can be a scary thing, but it brings so much healing and freedom. God does wonders in those who are willing to be vulnerable to and for Him.
