The news today…..

Everything in the news right now is about sexual abuse allegations. I believe a lot of what is happening is not necessarily about Kavanaugh and Ford. I believe that there are several across this country who have been raped or taken advantage of, and now Kavanaugh has become the face for their abuser, and they seek justice. I do not know if he did what he is accused of or not. I do believe we need to quit automatically assuming guilt based on what has happened in our own lives. I think a lot of women are angry and in pain across this country. I would hope that we would not take our anger out on someone that did not cause that pain in our lives. He does not need to be the scapegoat for everyone’s pain. He has a wife and children that we need to consider when we are ranting about what he has done when we do not even know the man. I am not disputing what has happened in the woman’s life. My dad molested me and I was also taken out in a field and raped by a friend of someone I was dating when I was a teenager. I have learned that anger would only continue to destroy myself and not the ones who caused the pain. I also realize that being angry and thinking all men are garbage would not be fair based on what two individuals did in my life. Forgiveness has even helped bring healing in my dad’s life and helped him begin to forgive himself. I am not saying what was done was right. I am just saying that letting go of the rage and forgiving started the road to healing in my life. ONLY THE LORD can truly heal and when we let go we are allowing God to take over and start that road to healing!
