My name is Michelle Viscuse, and my passion is to inspire women to have courage, hope, and freedom in Jesus Christ. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and Jesus delivered me from my past filled with secrets and shame.
He will do the same for you.

“Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.”

Is it possible to heal from sexual abuse? Yes, hea

Is it possible to heal from sexual abuse? Yes, healing is possible.
🕊️
I wish I could tell you there was a formula or a prescription that would make the pain all go away, but that has not been my experience. Over the last ten years, I have been intentional to focus on healing and God has faithfully met me and continues to meet me on my journey.
🕊️
When I started my journey ten years ago, I didn’t know if healing was possible. Those awful memories were stuffed away, and I didn’t want to face them again. I seemed fine on the outside and could continue to pretend like all was well. I had kept the secrets for so long; why speak up now? Would it even be worth it?
🕊️
In chapter 11 of my book Journey Pink, I asked my counselor if she thought my brain could be fixed. I said, “Maybe I wouldn’t be so messed up if I’d never been abused. The mind games, control, and manipulation have hardwired my brain into thinking everyone has an agenda. I always need to be on full alert.”
🕊️
Her response was a big part of my healing journey. She said, “You have taken big steps, and we can rewire those thought patterns. What do you think it would look like if you had never been abused?”
That question changed everything.
⁉️
Healing is possible, and it is worth it. Just take the next brave step. Those old thought patterns can be rewired. (It is called neuroplasticity). Okay, but what does healing look like?

Boundaries are good.
“It is okay to start new traditions with safe people. You do not have to show up to your detriment.
Boundaries are beautiful, and they take work and practice. Keep going. You are worth it!”
💕
I desperately needed to hear those words 11 years ago. Holiday gatherings can be very difficult and complicated for survivors. I wrote about “My Last Fake Thanksgiving” on the blog. Check it out here:

(Link in story)
P.S. Take care of YOU. Breathe. Rest. Walk outside for a change of scenery. Call a friend. Ask for prayer. Pray.
Take deep breaths.❤️

“You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name!”

I am so thankful for @tope_keku.
✝️
She is the Sunday School teacher I mention in my book, Journey Pink. She knew me when I was beginning my healing journey back in 2013. She would ask a question and patiently wait for me to respond. Eventually, I opened up more and more.
✝️
One day, I asked her if she wanted to help start a Women’s Ministry, and she said yes. We began to serve women and host Bible Studies faithfully. We went to Writer’s Conferences and retreats together. We started our own blogs and social media accounts. We grew and learned together. We challenged, encouraged, and motivated each other.
✝️
She is more than a Sunday School teacher to me. She is my dear friend, mentor, prayer warrior, and ministry partner. We faithfully gathered on Wednesday nights for nearly ten years to host Bible Studies for women. We hosted brunches, teas, and events.
✝️
We decided to take a much-needed break earlier this year and kept our Wednesday nights open. Much has changed, but our heart to serve women has grown stronger.
✝️
Pretty soon, we will be back together on Wednesday nights, serving women from the Triangle area and beyond. There will be in-person opportunities and virtual gatherings.
✝️

➡️Stay tuned if you want to be motivated, encouraged, and inspired to be ALL God created you to be.
