Karen, I was just catching up on your blog and reading your response to the elderly woman who was so touched by your story. Oh, I do hope you can get past whatever negative feelings that come to you about what you have shared! More harm than good? Not possible!!! The truth is always for the good!<\/span><\/p>\n
Are there people out there who will take advantage or maybe even mock or scorn? Yes, sadly there are people who are blind and cold. Are there people who may be a little imbalanced and latch onto self diagnosis out of obsession? Yes, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you should hide the truth and risk not helping so many others! If you help one soul out there who desperately needs it, then it is ALL worth it. Because one soul is priceless. I think that\u2019s the greatest lesson we can take away from our abuse, that EVERY soul is worth rescuing.<\/span><\/p>\n
So, here\u2019s a big hug to you Karen, don\u2019t ever despair that you have somehow done wrong. NEVER. \u201cYou will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free\u201d. And that Truth encompasses All Truth. Hold onto that.<\/span><\/p>\n
Am I preaching???? LOL I do that sometimes! Hope it doesn\u2019t pluck your nerves! Now, if I can only take my own advice! My motto: baby steps.<\/span><\/p>\n
God Bless You! And Rock On Girl! <\/span><\/p>\n
Jeanette (and Stella and Gina\u2026and whoever else I have yet to discover, all parts that will someday come together. I will have faith.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dear Jeanette,<\/span><\/p>\n
Oh, Jeanette, thank you so much for understanding exactly what I’ve thought all along. \u00a0I’ve always wanted nothing more than to help others. \u00a0I believe my story was meant to be shared. \u00a0I believe God has a plan for me.<\/span><\/p>\n
You are right; the truth does set me free. \u00a0I believe every soul is worth rescuing. \u00a0I will continue to help in any way that I can, even during my few dark moments. \u00a0I’m sorry that you picked up on some of my sadness in my answer. \u00a0It’s true that a few have taken advantage of me. \u00a0I am amazed that your response has touched me so deeply. \u00a0I truly appreciate all that you have shared. I really needed to hear these words… thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n
I will take your advice and hold on to it. Thank you for tapping into my thoughts and reminding me of who I am.<\/span><\/p>\n
God Bless you, too!<\/span><\/p>\n
Karen<\/span><\/p>\n
