I GOT THIS!

All my parts move, but some of them are squeaky.

You can be tough but not brittle.

Your spirit, heart, and body may have been broken, but it can be repaired, and your life can be made whole.

It may take time to heal; that time starts now.

You do not deny that you were hurt, crushed, and almost destroyed. You realize that our God is greater than the destroyer.

Evil may have intended to harm you, but God allowed it for good to be used to help others heal, too, and learn that their past traumas do not define them. (Genesis 50:20, KJV paraphrased)

. . . . .
I am not a victim; I am not a survivor; I am a warrior. 

Surviving means you are still breathing after having been victimized, traumatized, or hurt, and you made it through. Being a warrior means you are victorious! Your past does not define you. Warriors use the rubble left behind to build a bridge to stand in the gap for others to help them survive and then lead them to safety, and they become warriors too! A warrior leads the way.

A warrior says, Follow me. I will be your light through this dark tunnel. I will hold your hand, and I will pray; I will lead you to safety and show you how to crush the evil that hurt you! You will survive, you will overcome, you will thrive, and you, too, can become a warrior! A warrior shows others how to live a victorious life despite what has happened.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28, KJV)
