It might surprise you, but it can happen to anyone. No you’re not exempt. I wasn’t. My loving and caring family couldn’t save me from what happened. Only God could. University educated and seventeen years in Corporate America would not prevent the unimaginable from becoming reality.

Domestic Violence crushed my soul, fear and violence made it easy to embrace drugs…unknowingly and unwittingly becoming a zombie, prostitution welcomed me to the streets. Bought and sold became routine, and you want what to keep me safe?

Loss. So much loss, my babies, my children, my parents such a blur. Oh my, the drugs took me back, I am no longer a child, I can’t hide in my youth because becoming an adult began to hurt oh so bad.

God sent Angels with handcuffs to rescue me from the rape, beatings, kidnapping, and sodomy. He sent angels with handcuffs to bring me out the fog. Most importantly the angels with handcuffs delivered me to sanity, honestly for the first time…Sanity.

Truth and obedience to God led me to be a mirror, a reflection of what is inside of us when given as many chances as we need.

Lost no more, found in Jesus
