Twenty years ago today I was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance following a night of partying at my beach house. I left the bar early, by myself, and passed out when I got home. When I woke up he was on top of me. This act resulted in a pregnancy. It was a traumatic time in my life that I never shared with any of my friends or family at the time. I ended up being pregnant as a result. The next nine months were torturous. I had horrible thoughts-- "I didn't deserve to be pregnant, my life was over, etc.". I even contemplated hurting myself in an attempt to make it all go away. I prayed and wished for my life to go back to the way it was before that night. That was 20 years ago, a very dark time in my life.
I am a big Garth Brooks fan and was listening to his song UNANSWERED PRAYERS. I started crying last night while listening to the song because it got me thinking that the most important thing in my life, my daughter, is my unanswered prayer.
Sometimes things work out differently then we expect or want in life. What things have you wished or hoped or prayed for that didn't happened?
What are your unanswered prayers?
