I have been overwhelmed by your story and as you have come to know me in our short friendship, you know I give thanks to Jesus for bringing that Doctor into your care.<\/span><\/p>\n
The effects from abuse far outweigh the reality of what it does to our mind. I was molested at the age of 5. Not to the extreme of what you must have had to go through as a child.<\/span><\/p>\n
I also referred back to the Butterfly Blessing that I posted the day before yesterday and you came to mind as I was researching over your material.<\/span><\/p>\n
You are God\u2019s child and miracle no doudt and it was so much on my heart to promote your book to those they have fallen victim to child abuse or anything that is unbearable to our souls.<\/span><\/p>\n
Healed in 1998 by your Angel Doctor without wings. How awsome and mighty a God that we serve. You are in my heart and prayers and our testimonies are the greatest strength we carry in this life. I am very honored to share personal experiences with you and proud to be your friend and that you have shared for the good of others.<\/span><\/p>\n
So much Courage and Selfless to share your story of Redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dear Becky,<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for all of your kind thoughts! \u00a0I, too, am grateful for Dr. Baer’s unconditional care. I believe he was God sent. I also believe there is a reason for everything. I am blessed to have many friends who have supported my decision to share my story. Without such support I would lack the strength and confidence I need to continue on.<\/span><\/p>\n
I’m sorry to hear that you have also been abused. There is no way to measure how much abuse can fracture one’s spirit and soul. Abuse is abuse. It doesn’t take much to feel the effects from being controlled, manipulated, and hurt beyond repair.<\/span><\/p>\n
I loved the Butterfly Blessing and appreciate your posting it on Facebook. As a once abused woman my strength is often challenged by dark thoughts. I hate how these thoughts can creep into my day. For me, your encouraging thoughts bring hope and help inspire me to get through my day. It’s my hope to replace every negative dark thought with sunshine optimism.<\/span><\/p>\n
We are all children of God. To survive abuse of any kind is miraculous. I am grateful to be alive and share my story. You are right, Dr. Baer is my angel without wings. He was the first person I learned to trust. <\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for your friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n
