My rape brought out my storytelling: I remember after my rape happened, later in that year 2013 and in 2014 I submitted a mini story on my old instagram account back then, it was about me having a miscarriage and getting through it and hoping to be able to get pregnant again, I hadn’t been actually physically pregnant or had a miscarriage for real, but I was speaking in code language, I was speaking about what I lost and hoped to regain (my identity, life and purpose) God had me speaking in code language I believe because my true story wasn’t meant for revelation just yet, sometimes God may have you give a preview or sneak peak or even a practice season before you step into your real season and tell the full uncut story wow 🤯 God was also equipping me to be bold and unashamed God was also letting me know that my voice and story mattered, also crazy but after my rape I encountered many women who had miscarriages hmm maybe God was also allowing me to connect with women who had experienced traumas in their bodies too, encouraging me to be more bold about my own trauma, though miscarriage and rape are completely different, loss is loss and pain is pain, God I believe was getting a message across to me, a miscarriage and rape both are things people don’t have control over, being raped just like a miscarriage doesn’t mean the person did anything wrong or caused it and just as women who have miscarriages still conceive again. women who were raped live again. Amen! Loss isn’t final. God isn’t limited to the walls of the church, he has so many creative and non conventional methods to heal us or bring about a message we need! Amen!
