The devastation was beyond words. “How could he do this to me?!” “Why?!” “Was this my fault?” “How will I ever get over this?” The questions swirled chaotically in my head. Meanwhile, my heart wondered if I would ever stop hurting, “Will this pain ever go away?” I felt lost, alone, and confused. I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. But I knew I needed a plan. I’ve been where you are Beautiful. I know the pain and devastation sexual betrayal brings into your life. I know the agony of having the one you love so dearly betray you at the deepest level. But I also know the hope and healing that awaits you. I know just how faithful God is to restore to an even BETTER YOU! The journey from devastation to restoration has not been easy, but God has held my hand, and even carried me at times along the way. He showed me the way to true healing, helped me develop a plan, and I rediscovered the beautiful woman He created me to be. I’ve learned that our pain, though it is great, has a greater purpose. My tragedy is now my triumph. And I have the greatest privilege of offering hope and healing to Christian Women who suffer enormous trauma and loss by the impact of marital betrayal.
