    I just want to say to my friend Karen, thank you for being so brave as to tell your secret story to the world. You know as I do that many people have been sexually abused in their life. Thank you for telling your story and sharing the transformation of what can happen when we trust our “Pappa”. Our Father in Heaven. It is because of Him that we are truly are set free from the bondage of the past. So thank you Karen and may your book encourage others to say, that this is not the end of their story but it they choose to do as you have done, trade Fathers, then they to can be set free. Thank you Jesus.

    I too have traded Fathers. All though my earthly Father was an absent parent for much of my life. I discovered that My heavenly Father has always been there, loving me and nuturing me as he knew I needed. And I have made the decision to receive his best for my life. The revelation journey may have taken me 51 years but I know the full revelation of this truth, and I thank God I know the truth and I understand the truth, and yes, I am free…. free to live, love and enjoy the precious life that my “Pappa” has planned just for me.
    So I praise the name of Jesus.

    Bonnie,

    Thank you for your comments.
    There are so many survivors of sexual abuse. Many more than anyone knows because so few people actually tell. Papa-God weeps with those who have yet to find his deep tenderness toward them and anger toward the sin that stole their childhoods.

    Thanks for helping spread the word!
    Karen

    Chris,
    I’m so glad for you that you, too, have traded fathers. Papa-God loves to be your father. May you continue to rejoice in his love and care!
    Blessings,
    Karen
