In one hour, I am giving a speech in one of my classes about Sexual Assault. I didn't know what day it would be on when I signed up to do it. Ironically, today is the birthday of my ex. It's not a good day for me. I'm really nervous about the speech. Please pray for me to have the strength to talk about this.

Thanks.

Well, the prayer definitely helped. :) It went so well! My teacher told me that it was the best presentation he had ever seen in that class!

As for the healing, I think I'm about as past it as I can be... there's still certain days (like this one) where I get down, but I don't have the triggers and flashbacks anymore, and I don't think about all the time anymore, either. I'm really moving forward. :) And, yes, this speech I gave went so well and it was really empowering, as always, to advocate. :)

God bless you Flautist. I'll pray for you too.

Presentations on this topic can be hard. I had a class last year where one of my friends revealed she had been raped. I had to leave the classroom because it bothered me so much.

Congrats for doing such a good job on it.
