I have been angry since I was six years old. When my life took an unexpected turn. Let's just say that everything that was known to me as a child was about to change.
" The Journey from Anger to Acceptance"
I have been angry since I was six years old. When my life took an unexpected turn. Let's just say that everything that was known to me as a child was about to change.
I was angry with God:
I was taken from a foster home which was very loving and caring. I was introduced to my real mother....and all Hell broke loose.
I was abused physically
I was abused sexually
I had no one to protect me, but expected my parents to, but they did not.
I had no one that I could trust.
Oh, and where was God in all of this.
This journey lasted from the time I was 6 to 16 yrs of age.
Only to follow by two rapes, one orally, then one vaginally, from 16 to 18 yrs of age.
From this wonderful experience, the chain of events continued.....my part.
I grew up to be angry.
I took this out on loved ones by abusing them physically.
I abused sexually.
I tried to protect the ones I loved, but failed.
I still trusted no one.
I then turned around and abused myself through drugs, alcohol, sex, suicide attempts.
And, I still hated God.
Oh.....but hold on.....THE SOLUTION.
Last year in October/2007, I was able to come to a different level of forgiveness for my Mom.
I began to come to acceptance with my past.....just a little.
I have been in detoxes, rehabs, therapy, 12 step programs,
AND CHECK THIS OUT
That God that I was so angry with.......I found out that He was with me all along.
His Blessings:
He placed me in that foster home, so that I may have a foundation.
The pain &suffering that I faced, gave me the ablitily to share with others.
He has constantly placed people in my life to guide me.
I have always had food, shelter, and clothes.
I have 15 yrs away from drugs/alcohol.
I have found out, that if I show up in life...whatever or wherever that may be..I show up &God shows out.
My prayers have changed from God I need, or God I want.......To.....God, Thank you.
I thank Him for the good, the bad, the ugly, and the different. I am learning that there is a blessing in every lesson in life.
I am not saying that I am not angry anymore, BUT what I am saying is there is a lot of work that must be done on oneself.....when I am angry, just simply today....means that I am hurt.
He continues to Bless me.....and I keep my heart open to receive them all.
I thank Him for loving me, when I do not seem to love myself....He has not given up on me, and God gives me the strength not to give up on myself....because He created me in the womb....and I am awesome.
Thanks Danny

Peace &Blessings
