Last week and this week has been quite eventful for me but though a lot of things happened simultaneously,
I did not forget that I made a promise about the #Restored series.
For the first, I thought to share my story👉
I grew up thinking it was my fault that the abusers were after me.
At about 6 years old a family friend tried to molest me, when I was 9 years old, a relative attempted, he and two other older folks, one was a neighbour, the other, a stranger.
It took sometime to really understand what these people were trying to do to me. But as a teenager it became clearer when I narrowly escaped two young men who were determined but to abuse me.
Each scene linked with another and suddenly I began to feel terrible about myself. I blamed myself for every scene that had occurred. I wished I had known better, I wished they never happened.
Soon I got depressed, I thought; "Why should this be happening to me consecutively" But more to the pain was the fact that I could tell no one about it.
I thought it was embarrassing, I never knew it was a common pain thousands of boys, girls, men and women face everyday.
Somehow God took me took me through the healing process and some of the things I will be sharing in the #Restored Series are testimonies of those processes.
I know what is means to be broken, to feel like there is no value left in you, to feel defeated.
But more to that, I know what it means to go through a defeating season and come out strong, victorious and #Restored.
