I completely agree with you, David. My focus in this message was women, but it is also a message I do address with men as well. Shame knows no boundaries....however, it seems to be more of a visible issue with women than men. With men, I have experienced, it takes some luring it out of them so it can be addressed...as you allude to here.

Thank you for your prayers. So far, yes it has been painful...but one thing I always keep in mind, without pain, healing never truly comes. :) As long as my focus remains on Him as my target...I know everything will be alright.
