My Salvation Experience
My Father Was 62 Years of Age and My Mother was 16 Years Old when I was Born . My Father was appointed full custody of me at the age of 7 Years Old. I was repeatedly Touched Inappropriately, it started to occur every day and then 4 to 5 times a week until finally I was raped. I would hurt so badly, Emotionally, Mentally, and Physically. My only way to cope with the pain was to drink. My father had liquor Cabinet, I started to steal his whiskey and drink to before I was molested. I numbed me, made me void of any awareness of what was happening. This continued for the tenure of 3 years and during and after this time span I would suffer violent sexual acts from 3 more violators. I have been spat on, beaten, and even burned if I resisted, if I showed any emotion. I had no hope, I had no knowledge of Jesus at this time, and I had one album Entitled “Jesus Christ Superstar”. I had siblings, well into their 40’s who wanted to take me to church. But I Questioned God, I thought that he, much like the countless others I trusted, would hurt me if I got too close to him. Later on in life my Father had become mentally ill, I moved to Maryland and my life became the victim to more abuse, being beaten, locked in closets, and deprived of food. My sister threatened to kill and told my mother to take me in, When I moved in with my mother, I became a victim to drugs, fighting, etc. A LONG LIST OF Bad behavior and addictions followed that led to the consequences of me being incarcerated and held in a Juvenile detention facility. I prayed and Asked God to get me out and he did just that. My viewed changed as I called on God to get me out of every problematic situation since then. Sure I’ve had my indecisive moments were I would reason within myself and battle in my mind. I’ve had were I fell and put the blame on God but the more I read my bible the more I wanted, I started to

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    It’s unfortunate that you had to endure that type of pain as a kid. While reading your thread, I thought about what Deb Laaser said while she was talking to Jennifer Cisney in the presentation titled “Spouse Recovery.” She talked about what happened between her and Mark Laaser and how Mark engaged in sexual behaviors that were not right. However, she said even though the situation was a bad one, there is hope in the struggle. Cisney said that God used Laaser’s situation as a means to strengthen her. I am not condoning what happening to you. I am just saying that, like Laaser, hopefully you were able to find some type of strength and growth in your…

    Let’s start in the beginning, (very biblical I know but bare with me on this; it’s my first time). As I predicted, I was conceived as an accident, my father being a big time criminal and heroin addict (along with many other hard drugs I’m sure). My mother was going through a very tough stage in life where she felt unsettled by her parents for some reason, became a punk of some kind, would away from home incessantly, take all sorts of revolting narcotics and most possibly have a lot of sex with various guys. I’m not sure how my mum and dad actually met, that is a riddle to be solved, but I do know that they had a little flat in London and were living together with two dogs, one of which a violent Staffy. Once mum had found out that she was pregnant with me my father lost it. Every now and then he’d beat her and hurl abuse at her. I’m not sure what he was like sober; my mother says that he was never to be seen so. He was always wired on something.…

    I was to appear in court in a matter of weeks. I was lost, my emotions were a wreck. I had no desire to keep working, eating and even living. I gave this person the authority to give my life meaning, so I had no reason to exist. The day came when I had to appear in court. I had no money for a lawyer, i was barley making ends meet with two jobs. However I walked in the courtroom with the certainty that I had done no wrong and God was by my side. In the matter of five minutes the judge heard our versions of the story, and gave his final verdict, in which he found no reason that I had committed any form of domestic abuse. “The Road Of Trials”, after the decision at the courthouse, whatever relationship we had no longer existed. It was time now to fight for custody Of my son, but I was nowhere near a clear enough mindset to do so. The traumatic shock of the events that transpired pushed me to the edge of depression. I could not eat, I began to lose weight I looked like someone sucked the life out of me. I felt alone and I couldn't talk to my family about because I was so ashamed, so I found a something that could drain my sorrows. This thing could make me forget, it could make feel like nothing ever happened. However before I knew it alcohol had gotten a hold of me and I could not let go. Soon after this bad habit I had rapidly developed into an addiction. It began to affect my everyday life. I could not control it for it was a necessity…

    I have been in that place of darkness and defeat, but I see that light, I live in the light. I have been to secular counselor; I have taken my daughter to two counselors’ also. I know that I did not get my healing until I started going back to church and seeking and building my relationship with the Father. It has taken me the humility to go to my pastor’s and asking for prayer and help through the bible. I have a way to go, but I know I am where I am because of God’s help and prayer and supplication. My daughter got some help with the first counselor, but it was not what I had anticipated. The last sessions she went she honestly received no help or made any progress. She even voiced her opinion and said she would not return because there was no…

    1 Corinthians 11:13 (NIV) states, "When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me." This verse, and its implications for our lives as Christians, is the theological foundation of Wilson's (2001) theory as presented in her book. By examining our "hidden parts," we are able to locate and put away our childish ways, thus realizing that we are God's children and belong to Him (John 1:12, 1 Peter 2:9). This essay will attempt to discuss the effects of abuse and review the biblical counseling methods of Sandra D. Wilson. The main research is centered on Wilson’s book “Hurt People Hurt People: Hope and Healing for Yourself and Your Relationships” (2001).…

    First off, I was born in Gallup, New Mexico in the McKinley County Indian Hospital, in 1976, to a half Zuni/Spanish native, and a Hispanic Apache mother, and growing up I saw and suffered a lot of abuse, and a very unstable youth. My father and mother divorced when I was a baby, and my stepfather was very abusive, to me and my mother for many years, until he was arrested for killing my mother's best friend. After that, I saw the effect that abuse had on my mother, and she became a victim of drug and alcohol addiction, so eventually my little brother, sisters, and I was taking into Child Protective Custody. We were separated at first, and I had a few good foster parents, and a couple really evil ones, but eventually I was placed with a family who allowed us all to be…

    Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.…

    I believed that growing up on the streets was the only way of life even though it wasn’t. I was supposed to be a ward of the state but they could never find me my parents gave up on me and treated my sisters as if they were queens. I was not going to give up I joined in the life of crime gangs and drugs. I had pulled myself away from the trouble even though it was hard to get removed from gang life. I had been shot twice and survived each bullet wound. I had been brutally raped and became pregnant from it. I dropped out of school. I had never killed anyone or anything like that but, they were my family so I played follow the leader until, I watched my best friend die. I moved as far as four hundred dollars would take me. I ended up down this direction, where I had met my new friends and family. They helped me learn that I had to be happy with myself and move forward and not dwell on the past. So I got my GED in 1995. I have also gotten married and as I stated earlier have raised multiple children whom were not mine by birth but, by the grace of god fell into my custody. I think it was divine intervention that helped me see I needed to improve myself and help others in order to be happy and show them that if I can change so can they. So I am hoping to further my education as long as I can and continue to help those who need help…

    Fast forward a few years when the Lord had intervened in my life because He could see that it was going downhill at a rather fast pace. I was in jail facing 28 years in prison because I had received a money order from my representative payee that handled my money received from serving in the Army. I took the money order into a local store and attempted to cash it. I was not aware that it would turn out to be a fake money order. I requested to speak to the chaplain at the jail and asked for help to get me right with the Lord I once knew.…

    It is a great feeling going to a place where it’s a huge matter in one’s life. “Revisiting Sacred Ground” N. Scott Momaday had made a pilgrimage which his Kiowa ancestors. Momaday has said,” There are certain villages, and towns mountains and plains that, having seen them, walked in them, lived in them, even for a day, we keep forever in the mind’s eye.” Just like how Momaday relived his ancestor’s trails, I had a chance as well. I was lucky enough to be able to go on such a sacred journey that people would pay in thousands of dollars. The pilgrimage I would like to talk about is the one I took to a sacred city in India called Badrinath. I follow Hinduism, and in Hinduism there is a saying/belief that if we go on this enriching, and spiritual journey, we will go to heaven after we pass. I have a guru, like a living god, who I listen to and look up to. He took me on this spiritual journey.…

    Because I grew up in a Christian home, my struggles have thankfully not been as severe as those that other students in this class may have endured. Nevertheless, my experiences have shaped who I am and how I relate to God. God has taught me, and continues to teach me, more about my personality and sin struggles through the valleys He has brought me through, but I will limit my comments to just a few key points I believe He is trying to make in my…
