In 2010, I am learning to embrace that God has made me fearfully and wonderfully made. Therefore, I should not be a shamed of my His power within me or the sexuality he has given. Which is just as much a part of me as everything else. And although sexual abuse twisted my sexuality by teaching me at an early age to abuse my sexuality by seeing myself as only a body - a sexual image and nothing else. I am learning to love & respect myself. Celebrate the restored purity within my sexuality where I was once taught affection & love is SEX. Where I was once robbed of love, trust, and respect. Three vital components in having any healthy, functional, relationship with God, a husband/wife, close friends, and business associates.
Sadly, I have to admit in some of these pictures … I did not always have this understanding so it was a hit and miss in some of these photo shoots. But I embrace these images knowing that those photos were a part of my journey to being a God fearing woman of worth. I know my next photo shoot will show more of my maturity & growth.
