Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
I often think of my ex-girlfriend from high school. She was delightful and key to healing my broken heart from my 8th grade girlfriend, who had basically crushed my spirit. I was like the walking wounded.
My new love was sincere, true and very affectionate. She used to go to my jam sessions with my garage band in Spring, TX. She was so fun to be with and I will always be fond of her.
She revealed a very dark situation about her home life. At the time she had a step-dad. He was raping her at home. She shook and looked so worried as she told me.
When she told her mom about the situation, all she said was, " Well, he pays the bills. If he wants to have sex with you that is up to him."
Isaiah 50:7
Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
I was shocked at this revelation. I hugged her. I only wish there was something that I could have done back then in 1979. School would soon be over for the year and before the fall semester started, Momma moved me to another town near her new job.
I kept in touch with her up to the point where she had met a new guy. He was in the Army and she would be leaving with him. They planned to get married. That was around the spring of 1980.
I have never heard from her ever again. I hope that she is doing fine. I hope her step-dad is burning in hell too. I know, we Christians are supposed to be forgiving...but raping a teenage step-daughter is pure evil.
