“I used to wonder how any good could come out of reviewing the details and reliving the pain of an unwanted experience.  But I’ve discovered that tremendous power is released when we dare to speak up and communicate our personal stories with honesty and vulnerability.  By doing so we remind others that life is an unpredictable journey for all of us.  Bad things happen, and the Enemy tries to destroy our spirit and our sense of purpose. If we can remember that we are engaged in a spiritual battle – not with weapons and hatred, but with hope, faith and joy, we affirm our ultimate security in God and  our love for Him in the midst of heartache.  The grace-filled reward is that we find ourselves enveloped in steadfast, intimate, extravagant love that continues to move us into the heart of the greatest adventure of all.”
