My name is Kara and this is my testimony. My walk with God was not conventional.Instead my life started off with encountering evil.In the form of child abuse.Justice was never served for the abuse. Because of this i developed a prejudice.A lack of trust in humans. I did not discriminate man, woman, religious, or any of the above. As you can probably assume i had a even harder time trusting God.The one i could not see.It wasnt long before i turned to drugs and alcohal to medicate.From there i found domestic violence, jail and suicidal idolation. But fortunately, God didnt rely on my ability to seek him or trust his plan. At 19 i was given a bible the same one i use today. Through various trials of my life i began to seek answers. Ones i could only find in that bible.Philippians 4:13 says i can do all things through christ who strengthens me. I relied on that. Ive had a gun pointed and shot but miss me because God was there. I overdosed on drugs and was unable to speak and regained my ability because God was there. On paper i should not be standing here today but God was there! Did i deserve it? no. But God is faithful. Lets fast forward a bit, at the age of 28 i found out that i was having a baby. This changed every part of my being.I became a Mother. Two weeks before i gave birth i graduated high school. I started college when my son was six months old and graduated when he was two.I had joy and my heart was full of love. In 2025, i received a disturbing message from a victim of the same abuse i encountered as a child by the same abuser. This was a child who needed a voice. At first this unraveled me. The strength i had crumbled and i fell into a ptsd episode that landed me in jail and took away custody of my son.For the last year ive been evaluated, examined and ridiculed for what happened in 2025.Sad? maybe . but what i found in this last year is more valuable.I encountered God more deeply then ever before.I completely relied on him. God vindicated and brought justice for abuse that took place 20 years ago and used me to speak for another child. I found healing that otherwise i wouldn’t have and now im free to be a mother who is whole. God delivered me from egypt.God gave me faith like abraham and God carried me through the wilderness and i will reach the promise land. Exodus 14:14 The lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace. Now i am taking everything that God has taught me and using it to be a trauma therapist for woman and children.
