What my husbands pornography addiction did to me.
Before I became a reborn Christian I use to watch pornography every now and then with my husband. I used to say there is no harm, but the fact was: I was not OK with it. Whenever we were intimate I always wondered if my husband fantasised about the women we saw in the movies. I always felt self-conscious because I was not able to do what the people in the movies could and I definitely did not look as good as the 20 year old in the movie who had never had children. Intercourse was not intimate at all, but more of a race to try and live out something I saw in a movie. I did a lot of things just to please my husband. I didn't want to be boring in bed. I did some disgusting stuff in an effort to keep things interesting. Later on in my marriage Jesus saved me from my sins and I devoted my life to Jesus. Shortly after that I found out that this was not the only extent of my husband’s pornography viewing. It was also books and websites that he viewed continuously. I found that anything...
In who's shoes?
Stop and ponder..... In who's shoes are you walking? In who's shoes do you desire to be in? Are your shoes to big for you? Does the shoe fit?
I found a Love greater than life
Therefore the Lord will wait [ silence, linger ] that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy [ compassion, forgiveness, kindness, sympathy, understanding, bigheartedness ] on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait [ long, desire ] for Him. ~ Isaiah 30:18
Walk with me through this fire
Heavenly Father If one's heart has been broken, over and over again... will it ever heal completely? Or will I always be reminded of the evil by the harsh scars that never seems to mend... Abba Father help me not to hold on to yesterday, help me not to become bitter, or to take the easy way out... Father I need to let go but I don't know how anymore. Why has it become so difficult to forget, to forgive? Today, yet again I need Your healing mercy Walk with me through this fire I trust in You Jesus
Conceived in Rape, Living With Purpose
As I sat across from a social worker in 2003, ready to receive my adoption records, the women said, "since you're going to find your mother, you need to know about the father." I hadn't given any thought to him, except that he might have been a hit and run. Without any preparation she bluntly said, "Your mother was raped."

Shall we dance, my Lord?
Do You hear the music in the distance? Lord it is so all-around us, so real, so part of me and You that I cannot help but to fulfill the desire in my heart to just dance with You, again and again! O my Lord, do You remember our first dance? The memories of that day is forever imprinted in my soul – a beautiful everlasting moment we had… You and I. You pulled me up from where I laid on the floor, buried in my grief. You knew that my crushed spirit needed You so desperately right then. I could hardly breathe... Jesus I will never ever forget the love and tenderness I have experienced in Your arms that day. I was so overwhelmed by the immensity of Your love for me. I knew then that You would move mountains to protect me! Together we waltz, following the rhythm of our hearts, the beating of Your healing mercy . I broke down at every turn we took, but You kept on dancing, kept on turning, knowing how much I needed to rid of the hurt that drenched my soul. You held me steady. You held...
My love
When I first laid my eyes on you You were quite shy Soon after that I knew I found a love so true. Through thick and thin we vowed Alone you and I Our heads closely bowed... until we die. I promised I would be true, I would be faithful I will be there when you need me To lean on To be strong. Shaken over our past - We fought for our love to last The roads were very tough Often thinking we won’t make it, it's just too rough Until one glorious day, … He seemed like an ordinary Man He spoke one word and forgave our sins He healed our broken hearts Today I know you never gave up each time you pulled us through A strong tower... that's what you are fighting like a lion... soaring like an eagle. My darling, I can honestly say You are the best thing that ever happened to me…
