Description: Abuse Is Not The End

Abuse Is Not The End
I share my story of healing and restoration, the challenges and the celebrations, to help survivors feel understood and give them hope for healing. For three of my teenage years, I was abused and manipulated by the man who was my youth pastor. The abuse changed me into a stranger in my own body and I became a hollow shell of myself. In the midst of the abuse I felt like I wasn’t who I was supposed to be, and I couldn’t do anything to get rid of that feeling.
