You know why I share my story? Because it helps others see there is hope, that healing is possible and that they are loved and someone wants to walk with them while they heal. Because more than anything, it will always point them to Jesus.
My name is Tasha. I was s*xually abused by my grandfather for 12 years. It started as a game and turned into threats and torture as I grew older. When the big secret came out nothing was done about it and I never spoke of it again, until I was 38 years old. I dealt with suicidal thoughts and attempts for years, anxiety, self worth issues, anger, and so much more. My mind and body was in full chaos. I didn’t know what to do with it all. Not to mention other abuse I was going through and had been through. I rebelled against my other grandparents that I lived with by running away and all sorts of trouble. I held guilt for this until I found Jesus. I now know it was all a cry for help.
I coped by drinking and taking pain pills together, cutting , and s*x : That’s how I thought you found love. Drinking, along with pain meds and cutting numbed the pain for a while. I became completely out of control, making rounds in trap houses and doing all I could to numb the chaos.
Fast forward to 2018 and my healing journey would begin. God would begin to send people in my life to help walk me through some of my healing. He would begin to pick up all my pieces and put me back together. He would begin to show me who He created me to be, not what people had shaped me to be. And the best freedom came after learning my worth in Him and developing a personal relationship with Jesus. Through a lot of hard work, more tears than I can count, wanting to quit over and over, and just plain exhaustion, I found freedom.
Jesus has delivered me from all the abuse, anger, unforgiveness, and the list goes on. Am I perfect? Nope. Do I struggle sometimes? Yep because I am human. Do I have tools to use to help me get through those times? Yes and His Word and prayer are the best tools! I will need Him, His Word, my people and those tools until He calls me home. And that’s ok. But I fight in a whole new way than I used to! ⚔️ He is my support system and my guidance before anyone else.
I share this with you to show you hope, that healing is possible, that you are loved and you can be healed, too. You deserve to heal. You don’t have to stay in bo***ge friend. It is written that He heals the sick and sets the captives free. He wants to do the same for you. ♥️ 🦋
