I invited Gary Roe to write several blogs. He also tells his story in my book When a Man You Love Was Abused.
I felt small growing up. I was told I was small. I was treated as if I were small. I was used like I was small. . .like I was nothing. . .like I was less than human.
I still feel small a lot. I feel small when I face conflict. I feel small when I don’t know what to do. I feel small when I sense others trying to take advantage of me. I was taught to feel small, so they could use me more easily.
Slowly, I am learning who I really am. God thought of me. God wanted me. Jesus Christ died and rose for me. He made me in my mother’s womb. He protected my life. He opened my heart to Him. He is preparing a place for me and me for that place. The life I live is a miracle.
I want to live big.

Wow - Yes - Thank you for this Post. I appreciated all of it, but especially that last paragraph.
Thanks for your comment. I find I have to keep telling myself the truths of that last paragraph, over and over again. We are not alone.
