Healing for Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse
Helping survivors understand abuse, begin healing, and find lasting hope through biblical wisdom and God’s grace.
Childhood abuse can leave wounds that follow us long after childhood ends. Fear, shame, and painful memories often shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Yet our past does not have to determine our future.
I know this journey because I have walked it myself.
Abuse Journal is a faith-based resource created to help adult survivors of childhood abuse and domestic violence understand abuse, begin healing, and discover lasting hope through God’s grace.
Whether you are searching for answers, taking your first steps toward healing, or growing deeper in your faith, I hope you find encouragement, wisdom, and hope here.

Your physical and mental health suffers by staying silent, and you surrender your voice, your…
The Lesson Learned By Being Wrong
Admitting your wrong can be difficult, mainly when your own words speak the truth back to you. But being wrong is not bad if you learn a lesson. I wrote a letter to a friend in June 2018. I opened a saved copy yesterday to reread the contents, and the words of truth spoke to my heart. I’ve been doing the same thing, going in…
