After sharing the pain I suffered as a child and recounting the self-inflicted pain of my adolescence and adulthood, I wanted to show the world how I began living freely after abuse. Everything in life is a process and process takes work. No one had ever given me the tools to freedom. I went to a former pastor once, sat in his office, and poured my heart out. Because, at twenty-one years old, I was still in pain and couldn’t see myself ever being free to live. Being around my family was too much for me to handle, I was in constant fear that I wouldn’t be able to protect my two young children and didn’t feel worthy of the love being shown to me by my then boyfriend (now husband). But, once again I left feeling disappointed. Only this time it was
worse, because I had expected much more from a pastor. So, when this book dropped into my spirit, it was a no brainer. “Reigning After the Rain” is a guide to living freely after abuse. It is a tool that showcases the differing fazes of abuse. Guilt, shame, hurt and pain. But, then it goes a step further by showing keys on how to become free.
