An author, speaker, and champion for the hurting (including women in prison), Shelly wrote The Silent Seduction of Self Talk, Conforming Deadly Thought Patterns to the Word of God as a testimony to God’s healing power and a help to women like you and me.
Since she was a little girl, Shelly thought that the world revolved around her. Her needs. Her desires. Her everything.
In a very young child, you’d expect this. Remember when your own child or your friend’s child first uttered, “Mine”? Brow furrowed, hands on hip, and too cute! Mine.
Mine, mine, mine, me, me, me.
It’s not so cute when you’re an adult.
The Need to Control
Like many of us, Shelly had good reason to go into self-protection mode. Her dad called her fatty. So did the kids at school. Shelly learned how to protect herself by being a good student. She tried to get others’ approval by being good.
At the tender age of 19, Shelly was attacked by a serial rapist. Her safe, little world was falling apart. Later she married and become the mom of two little blessings, a daughter and a son. She did everything a mom was supposed to do: she strapped them in their car seats, held their hand while crossing the street, screened babysitters. She had everything under control.
Or did she?
Her now teen-aged daughter revealed a secret held deep for seven years. At age 7, and possibly earlier, Shelly’s little girl was molested by a close friend of the family, a Christian man who attended their church.
And then. . .a few years later, Shelly’s son got into drugs. Cocaine. He became a modern day prodigal son, turning his back on everything Shelly and her husband had taught him, turning his back on God. Her marriage was under stress too.
What Will People Think?
Shelly felt devastated, broken. Would would people think? What would they say. How could she protect herself against the unfolding truth that she wasn’t as wonderful as she thought she was?
Praise God that Shelly’s story has a joyful ending. You need to hear it. You need to know how to change your deadly thoughts and align them with the bible. Get practical tools for your own healing.
