![]() It’s a fight, but eventually the wrestling turns to flight. The butterfly has to fight to emerge from the cocoon to see the light of day and flap its now-free wings. Nothing in this life happens well without struggle. I’m humbled by such amazing cheerleaders. It’s never easy to go back there, you know? All I can say is I’m utterly grateful for my prayer team who prayed me through, and my family who loved me well. In fact, I had to limit my time writing it because it took such a toll on me. I shopped it to my publisher, but they declined. ![]() In light of the need and the new place where I am in my healing journey, I wrote a book last spring entitled Not Marked (Finding Hope and Healing After Sexual Abuse). And there’s the multiplication of p*rnography that only seems to fuel further abuse. And then there are victims worldwide who suffer trauma after being trafficked in the sex industry. So many people feel like they’re soiled, marked by an indelible ink, and they’ll never be whole or free from the memories. I realized there was such a HUGE need for a book about healing from sexual assault. It’s been an interesting journey that started after I wrote several vulnerable blog posts last spring. It’s never easy to open yourself up, particularly about sexual abuse, but the time has come for me to step out fully, to be “out there” once again, all for the sake of your healing (and perhaps even some of mine). ![]()
