From the Peach Fields to Becoming a University Professor : How God strengthened me through my struggles and turned my tears into a testimony

From the peach fields will allow you to confront the adversities in your life. You too, have had harsh words spoken to you and about you. This book will help you face those giants.

Many Psychologists say that 'hurting people hurt other people.' Reading this book allows one to realize that if you were victimized by someone who had not successfully dealt with their own demons, they were projecting their hurt on to you. You were being made to feel inferior by someone who has now become the bully.

I discuss the adversities that I encountered in my past and the most recent adversity that had me questioning if God was hearing my prayers and seeing my tears. I was told that I was weak, that I had no faith, that I was clingy, that I was fake, that I had been in church all of my life and I still had not grown, that it was all about me, that I was no longer wanted, that I was nobody, and so many other hurtful things that are too painful to write. I never received an apology and when I asked for prayer, the answer was no. This left me in a state of depression, brokenness and a sense of worthlessness. Hurtful words are the most devastating when they come from someone that you love and look up to.

You too, may have had hurting words said to you that left you broken. Know that God can restore you and make you whole. God does not condemn but he wants to restore because he still has a plan for your life.
