Truth vs. Lie
Truth: I am up again at 3 a.m. unable to sleep. I remember that night telling myself that I was strong. Well, when someone I knew told me that I am a strong person, it made me feel good. I didn't feel strong the night of the rape despite telling him, "No!" multiple times, and him not respecting me as well as drugging me. Lie: He kept manipulating me to get me in bed with him, and from being drugged up. I gave into him due to not thinking correctly from the date rape drug. He said that "this is our little secret," "You can spend eternity with me in Hell, instead of telling God," and another example, "Your boyfriend doesn't need to know what is going on, it is between you and me." Am I strong for putting up with his crap? I have put up with living next to him now for over 2 years. I guess I am strong, but still feel so weak. How can he even sleep at night? I long for Jesus to be back, so that he will face judgement for what he did to me, and so many other women. I hate him!!!!

You went through an experience no one should ever have to go through. It sucks to high heaven! You are still searching for that peace you need, to not forget the incident, but to lock it away, in your past, so that you can move forward.I pray you will find that peace. You are a worthy person...a good person.
Yes, you ARE strong. His lies are not your lies. I will hold you in prayer.
...And when we feel weak, God\'s strength is still there...
