The Universe is Connected

I'll label this moment Exhibit A for my theory that everything happens at the same time in everyone's life for a reason. We are Connected in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Once again we are on the same page.

My Aunt just posted this on her facebook page:

YOUR ARE NOT ALONE
1 in 4 Women Were Sexually Abused Before the Age of 18

Maybe you have never told anyone. Maybe you’ve been actively recovering from the effects of sexual abuse for a long time. Wherever you are in your journey, you can experience God’s healing power to transform you in Door of Hope, a 12-week study for women who were sexually abused as children.

Door of Hope provides a safe and non-threatening environment for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to identify and work through their issues while allowing Jesus to do His healing work. The book was written by Jan Frank a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a sexual abuse survivor.

Fundamentally this group seeks to point survivors to the TRUE counselor, the only one who can bring about deep restoration and peace that is often missing in the depths of wounded souls. This support group is not a therapy group, and the facilitators are not trained therapists.

Some topics of discussion include:

• HEALING EMOTIONAL WOUNDS
• COMMON MISPERCEPTIONS
• FACING THE PROBLEM
• EXPERIENCING FEELINGS
• ESTABLISHING RESPONSIBILITY
• GOD’S REDEEMING WORK
• ACKNOWLEDGING FORGIVENESS
• REBUILDING SELF-IMAGE
• SEXUAL DIFFICULTY IN MARRIAGE
• RESTORATION 

It's interesting because my friend's writing prompt was how to overcome abuse and tragedy (through finding strength in the Divine) and with the whole Sandusky thing and what I just talked about with Sodom... it just seems fated that all these things are coming up at once. We're communicating with each other on shared topics of concern without even realizing it.
