I had some extra time this morning and found myself reading your testimony. I love hearing how people meet the Lord and what in their past got them to that point. Your story was hard to read because I understand the sexual abuse all to well (not my father, but classmates). I, in the past few years have gone through intense healing from this. And it was good to hear that you are married. For me it is always difficult to imagine having a marriage, I was terrified of guys and still on occasion have that fear in the back of my mind. But it is always encouraging for me to meet someone that has gone through similar situations and come out victorious. Its good to be reminded that it is possible to have a good marriage after this and there are guys that will respect and honor me. My college roommate once tried to wake me up by grabbing both of my shoulders very close to my neck – it didnt end well, I woke up and instinctivley threw her off. It caught her off guard and she went flying back across our room and broke her closet door. It was the first and last time she ever tried to wake me up! Anyway, I must get going but once again, thanks for sharing. You are a wonderful encouragement to other women.

   Blessings to you – Jaclyn
