Eve was born unto this world clean and without sin. In the winter of my life thorns grew deep into my soul. I was not born with these thorns. They may have been planted into my body but they grew into every crack of my life. I lived in a continual winter. Even after escaping the actual abuse the next question is how do I escape from the world the abuse put me in? How do I stop having nightmares? How do I make the panic attacks leave? How do I learn to not be afraid of touch? How do I learn to respect sex? How do I learn to think I am okay? When is it I stop wanting to die?

      I tried years of counseling, anti-depressant drugs, group therapy and countless other things. Still my nights were still filled with terror, love with my husband was still frightening, and I still believed my life was worthless. I struggled with faith in God, and at times spit curses to him for letting me be tortured in such a way. I tried to run away from the Lord. I stopped going to chruch. I stopped reading the Bible. I stopped talking to my christian friends. His love kept trying to break through the barriers I had set.

      The Lord sent me light buoy's in my darkness. One of them brought me back to church. She took me through the steps to freedom. It was then I learned something.

      Sex forms a spiritual bond. Sex was forced upon me by my father and grandfather. How was I ever to leave those thorns behind if the bond was still intact??

      Did you just read this and think no one you know could be a survivor? Do you think it only happens in the slums of the city? The truth is one in four people are sexually abused. Do you know four people?
      Go see for yourself!

      Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:25,26
