That was quite the experience and a first for me. Before the interview I tried to prepare but didn&#8217;t really know how to approach it. I made a list of the most important aspects of my past as it relates to my ministry. I&#8217;ve decided to share these with you.</p>
<h3>PURPOSE</h3>
<p>-To help the Silent Suffering who sit in every church, alone, unable to speak about their wounds.</p>
<p><span id="more-8571"></span></p>
<p>-To share God&#8217;s love and how anyone can access his love.</p>
<h3>MESSAGE</h3>
<p>-Christ understands. Christ is the answer.</p>
<p>-God can heal our hurts. We must give them to him. We must yield ourselves to him. We must  seek God in order to know him.</p>
<p>-Look in the mirror first.</p>
<h3>MY WOUNDS</h3>
<p>-I was a good girl who loved God and followed him. I was obedient.</p>
<p>-When pain entered my life, I didn&#8217;t know what to do with it. I just kept going on, not knowing there were any answers.</p>
<p>-After twenty years of struggle, I came to the end of trying so hard.</p>
<p>-I couldn&#8217;t do it any longer. I gave up.</p>
<h3>MY HEALING</h3>
<p>-I asked God to change me. I told him I wanted to know him. (this was pivotal)</p>
<p>-I spent hours and hours seeking God and absorbing all he would give me.</p>
<p>-I invited God to heal my hurts. He brought them to mind, one by one.</p>
<p>-He healed me, layer by layer. By his stripes I was healed.</p>
<p>-The sorrow at heart left me. It has never returned.</p>
<p>-I fell in love with the Savior.</p>
<h3>TODAY</h3>
<p>-I speak and tell my story.</p>
<p>-I have a transformed life. God transformed it.</p>
<p>-I cultivated my relationship with God. This has been freeing.</p>
<p>-My story is on my blog. You can access it on the side bar.</p>
<h3>BIO</h3>
<p>-I am a Survivor: Of abandonment, infidelity by my mate, losing a sister to suicide, of a wounded heart.</p>
<p>-I am an Overcomer&#8211;with Jesus&#8217; help.</p>
<p>-I am a Writer, have written one book, and blog on two blogs.</p>
<p>-I am a retired Teacher, reading specialist, and walnut farmer.</p>
<p>-I&#8217;m a Country Girl at heart.</p>
<p>-I&#8217;m an Active Messenger, I&#8217;ve been involved in church ministries all my life: teaching, music, directing, and leading.</p>
<p>-Most importantly, I am a lover of God, and a lover of his salvation message.</p>
