Learning that we were known before time, knit together in His image, pieces put exactly where He wanted them in exactly the right quantities ... and get this, ... FOR HIS PLEASURE. He wants our insides out, wants us to shine and show the bits of us that are like Him, wants us to be open and real and unashamed of who He made us to be, wants to enjoy us, enjoying Him, enjoying us .....:} <br /><br />Don't that just blow you away?

Growing up with abuse backed me into the corner of doing what was expected of me, whether or not it was the right thing to do, in order to not further the abuse.
