BreakingMySilence, A Story of Hope and Healing

     Hope was the message God wanted to tattoo on my heart and soul on week two of my class.  Before our class we saw a speaker from the A21 Campaign, named Bianca.  For those of you who don't know who the A21 Campaign is; they are a group of Holy Spirit empowered women trying to end Human Trafficking.  This beautifully spirit filled woman spread God's message of hope that lit a fire in my heart for change.  God used her to tell me what I need to do to reach my goal and it's simple, "Put my Hope in God"!  He is bigger than me, bigger than my fears,  bigger than the lies I tell myself, bigger than my challenges, and He is most definitely bigger than my "Comfort Bubble of Dysfunction" that I so often like to stay in.  He is so BIG that my issues look like a tiny grain of sand next to the whole universe wrapped into a tight ball.  That is how BIG my God is!  He is so much bigger than my issues so why wouldn't I put my hope in God?

Over this short period of time God has introduced many people into my life. As my husband and I began to lead a class at our church we met Tony.

I was inspired by his bravery and honored that he is letting me share his story with all of you!  Please see read his story and send him some encouraging words. He also has two blogs so please support him and follow him on his blogs, let's show our support for a brave survivor!  http://ynotsrandomthoughts. blogspot.com/ http:// prayingfortheimpossible. blogspot.com/ Here is his story written by him.     It's amazing how things happen in your life at a specific time. Some people call these instances circumstance, but I call them God moments. Some time ago, I knew I would share this part of my past one day. I had envisioned that it would be one-on-one with someone that I would have known  for a long time and that I could trust with this dark event from my past. I had n
