"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

FOLLOW-UP to CAUGHT OFF GUARD


I am aware of the deep healing I will need from my past sexual abuse, but I was not going to let what happened to me yesterday get the best of me today. I so desperately needed to take in the pool again tonight, so I pushed forward despite my reservations.

Butthead was not there and if he was I was gonna ignore him. I was okay, but on guard. Normally, I am always on guard of my surroundings, but more since yesterday.

Thank you all for your encouragement and support!!

    Congratulations on going back. Now that was a huge step forward. I like how you are not going to become a victim of your circumstances and you are going to be a victor instead.

    I know this was difficult to do and I applaud your efforts. ((HUGS)) going out to you!

    Good for you JBR! I know that wasn't an easy thing for you to do. It's okay to have your guard up. I can't imagine what life would be like if I had mine down. I know that it would be more intense and terrifying. I am very proud of you!! Hugs!

    Hello,
    I just read your two last posts. I have not been able to read blogs this week.

    I am sorry about what happened to you at pool. It is good you are able to go back to enjoy your pool and ignore the problem. I hope you continue to find rest there.
    ♥Hope

    I was a victim of sexual abuse as a child... and yes, we have to take care of ourselves. Enjoy the POOL. Good you are practicing self-care. You sound GOOD. I have not yet read the other post; but will now.
