I was molested by my father from age 9 to age 14. My mother allowed his behavior becuz she didn’t care about me. She was always slapping me, or berating me. I never heard the words “I love you”, I was never hugged. By age 16 I was sexually involved with my abusive boyfriend and got pregnant. I was involved with other men thru out my young life, all were abusive becuz I thought that’s how a “real” man acted. I didn’t know how to love or be loved. At age thirty-one, I became born again. I felt so much peace but I had lots of strongholds that God still had to work out of me. I started attending COTM, I was so hungry for the word and Pastor George said things in a way I could understand. I’m still at COTM, learning and growing. I’m still working on my love walk but I’m no where near the mess I was when I started. I realize God has forgiven me for my past and I am now able to forgive those who hurt me. Thank you COTM for helping me find my way.
