There Is Hope: A Road to Healingنموونە
God Wastes Nothing
Today is our final day together in this plan. If I were there right now, sitting across a table from you, I would grab your hand, ask you to look me in the eyes. I would say, "I am so sorry for all the hurt you have been though. No one should have to endure that pain and that hurt. I believe you are worthy of healing. I believe you can be restored. Sister, you can trust Jesus with your heart. This is just the beginning!"
A mentor and friend once told me early on in my journey something I will always keep with me: GOD WASTES NOTHING.
Sister, He will not a waste one thing, not even this. If you will let Him, He will heal you, restore you, and use you to help others!
You are a V3 girl. What is V3? V3 is what Jesus does when you allow Him in. He takes you from victim, to victorious, but He doesn’t leave you there. He heals you in such a way that you move from Victim, to Victorious to Voice for the Kingdom! You will use your voice to help others heal, to advocate for those whose stories mirror your own. You will be a voice for those who just don’t have words or worth to speak for themselves. You may not be there just yet, but I believe you are a V3 girl!
Do you remember what I asked you to do on Day One? I asked you to write down what you hope to happen from reading this plan. Please go find your note.
I am not sure what you wrote. I am not sure if we accomplished what you hoped. But I am praying that this plan helped you see there is hope and healing in Jesus. I hope you can see that what happened to you was not your fault. I hope you can see how precious you are and, despite the pain, your experience can serve a purpose.
I want to share two more verses with you that are incredibly special to me. I might even say they are my life verses. One is God’s verse to me and the other is my verse to God. These verses are for you too! I pray you continue digging in His Word to find verses that speak deep to your heart.
Thank you for joining me and know that I am praying for you on your healing journey. Sweet sister, you are SO LOVED!

About this Plan
Statistics show that about 1 in 2 women have endured an attempted or completed sexual assault and 1 in 3 are impacted by domestic violence. This shows that we have many women who need hope and healing! I’m not an expert, just someone within those statistics who loves Jesus and wants to help others.
