SPEECH THERAPY

EXODUS 4

10 And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.


I was in and out of speech therapy from the ages of six to sixteen and it affected my education, leading me to be placed in the lowest stream at school, and losing two terms of year 4 at secondary school. I also failed my English exam at college due to the oral part being too much for me.
So how have I reached the point, where I am able to teach and speak normally.
It is all because of God's grace and constant help, I remember for years I was not able to communicate effectively and lost out on many jobs, because at interview I was not able to express myself.
I felt different and difficult, a walking disaster zone, no use to anyone. I blamed myself, my parents and everyone around me for the bullying, yes, sometimes I did irritate people and sometimes still do.
How do you deal with all the hurt? I came to Christ just before my 16th birthday, completely and totally insecure.
But now at 66, I am completely secure, all down to the Lord.
He has forgiven my past and has taught me that since I am forgiven much I have to truly forgive people who have hurt me from the heart.
My favorite passage in the whole bible is Ephesians 1:3-14, in these verses is all the security you need, you have been redeemed, sealed, adopted and loved in every way possible.
Another passage which has been of great help is Psalm 139, to know that God loves me and has done, even when I was in my mothers womb, is of great comfort to me.
God has seen everything I have been through and he completely understands our deep hurt, all the tears we have shed, he keeps in a special bottle
Psalm 56:8
King James Version

8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Whether people reject or accept me, I know my Lord says Come unto me, I DO NOT HAVE TO STRIVE FOR HIS ACCEPTANCE.

MATTHEW 11

28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
He calls me his son, that is a privilege beyond words:

Romans 8

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Lastly, I am able to pour out my heart to him, you see he totally understands:
PSALM 62
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
You may of gone through trauma in your childhood, whatever it is, bullying, sexual molestation, rape or a physical ailment like me, there is healing and refuge in the power of the cross, come to Jesus and let him purge your past.
There are marks, there are flashbacks, there are memories, but the pain has gone, Jesus has set me free, now I am believe it or not an English teacher, a writer and secure in Christ.
I am only these things, because I came to the cross and I continually come to be washed by the precious word of God, that tells me, I am free of my past, and that I am secure not just for today, but for eternity.
Praise this name
May this help someone
God bless you
