\u201cIn your anger do not sin\u201d: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.\u00a0 \u2013 Ephesians 4:26<\/em><\/p>\n

I had been sporting what Christian author Patsy Clairmont coins as a \u2018tude (attitude).\u00a0 I was persnickety, critical, quick-tempered, and controlling.\u00a0 I did not fully understand why I was this way until I had overcome several family crises, and began to fall apart physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n

I went to a counselor with the complaint, \u201cI cry all the time!\u201d\u00a0 The counselor explained that crying was a symptom of a greater problem.\u00a0 The mind, body and soul are the \u201ctrinity\u201d of the human body.\u00a0 If the mind and soul don\u2019t get an attitude adjustment, it can lead to physical ailments.<\/p>\n

I began to explore myself and learned that I had been shaped by being a victim of abuse.\u00a0 It took me a while to accept that even the good things in my life were the result of what I had survived as a child.\u00a0 It took even longer to be able to forgive my abuser.\u00a0 As long as I kept harboring that anger, the more I felt I was punishing him.\u00a0 Unfortunately, while I had him in my mental jail, I was imprisoned as well.\u00a0 I had to forgive my abuser to resolve the self-destruction in my life.<\/p>\n

Slowly, with the help of my faith in the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), I began to heal my earthly trinity (mind, body and soul).\u00a0 Through daily prayer, God helped me to release my anger and pain.\u00a0 I began to see my abuser as a mortal man with a mental illness.\u00a0 Despite what had happened, I was resilient, stronger, and more able to do the work God asked me to do.\u00a0 I had suffered abuse, but I survived! I was no longer the victim.<\/p>\n

God has provided me with opportunities to share my story to help others.\u00a0 Good has come out of my experiences, and I have grown to like the person I am, battle scars and all.\u00a0 Taking time with the Holy Trinity proves me with a daily attitude adjustment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
