This past weekend I was involved in a Women's Conference entitled: Out of the Ashes. I was given the opportunity to share my testimony, and at the end of the conference on Saturday sing a song [Beautiful Ending by Barlow Girl].
The conference was intimate. 3 individuals, including myself, shared stories of redemption and in small "Vision groups," those of like ages, were able to share similar struggles. Our time was full of laughs, bold honesty, many tears, and encouraging words. Toward the end of our last "Vision group," after the girls bravely expressed current hurts, I looked at each one of them and said, "Isn't it interesting how we're all struggling with the same issues? It doesn't matter how big, small, old, where we're from... we are not alone."
FOUR powerful words: YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
No matter what you're going through, there is someone else going through "it" as well. The situation may not be the same but the insecurity, eating disorder, self-harm, alcoholic/drug addiction, pornography, promiscuity, guilt, shame... it's all the same.
