"My father beat my mother and left her for dead when I was 9 months old. She died 2 weeks later. I grew up being sexually abused from a very young age, about 5 or 6. Physically abused because I was the only link to my dad, whom everyone hated. I felt like a little old funny, ugly girl that was worth nothing.
After a life of extreme violence and promiscuity, tumbling from state to state on drugs and alcohol, the book, Run Baby Run, fell into my hands. The book impacted my life so hard that even though I continued on in my reckless living, I was never able to shake the thoughts that there was a real God who loved me, even though I hated myself and everyone else. In 1980, I accepted the Lord and he changed my life. Now, 28 years later, I have learned to forgive all my abusers, sexual and otherwise, and a lot of them come to me for prayer and encouragement. Thank you for giving yourself to us and showing us the way."
