I dread silence, it’s deafening. That’s why I filled up my life with activities, academics and addictions. I didn't want to hear the noise inside me. So I thought of coming to the
LoveLife retreat. My walls crumbled with it. I took that big step to just be fragile, to let go and to admit to God, "I retreat doing this battle on my own, I need you Lord". The cry of my soul can no longer be contained that I wailed like a child in front of many for the first time in my life. Before, I don't know how to cry. I resorted either to vomiting or punishing myself.
Growing up abused was one hell of a ride. But I was able to look into the eye of the monster and declare victory because I didn't do it alone. I did it with God and my spiritual family around. My batch mates and I will declare that yes we are wounded but our wounds are being healed. We will be sharing our brokenness so that others will also be whole again.
