Convict as a verb means to find or prove to be guilty. Usually this is in a court of law before a judge and jury. What if your case never makes if before a judge and jury? The lack of conviction is devastating in the life of victims. Most victims of childhood crimes rarely seek justice. When they do seek help from the court systems, many find no real answers, justice, or help.
When I was on drugs sometimes it would occur to me that I was using them, in part, so that I didn’t have to face taking true risks and failing.

They happen to us at work, in relationships, and in interactions with complete strangers. A trigger is basically an unhealed emotional wound. The level of emotions you experience gives you insight in to how long the trigger has gone suppressed.

I am weary with the fight for justice in a world that shuts down the voice of victims. What do I mean? Christian people who have platforms they could use to aid God’s wounded soldiers — that’s why they have a platform, right? Wrong! How do they use their platforms to find the brokenhearted?

I am not being unkind, I am simply stating the facts.
