I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
My name is Cathleen and I am a missionary that is currently on the mission field in Japan. I do this alongside my husband whom I love very much. He is a faithful servant of the Lord and has always been faithful to show the Love of Christ first and formost to me and our children. My life is a testament of the power of God's love. I came from a childhood of abuse. I suffered physical and mental abuse from my mother. I lived through my mother getting married twice and divorced twice. The 2nd time she sent me to live with the dad who adopted me and he sexually abused me. He was a preacher and so it was hard for people to believe me when I would try to tell them even though he told me not to tell others of his love for me. I thought his abuse was love and sought love by sleeping with a guy I was dating in college. Imagine my heart break when he said he did not love me and then I ended up pregnant and my preacher dad and doctor arranged for my abortion before they told me that I was pregnant. I was heartbroken at the loss of my child. There wasn't a single person in my life who cared at the time. Through all this heartache I decided that I was going to seek the Lord with all my heart. All my life I wanted to be a missionary and work in the church and never received any support. I left my home and ever since God has provided people to love and support me. I am now a missionary. Not that there haven't been huge rocks that the enemy tried to put in the road. I got to experience the backstabbing and lying and abusive church practices in the journey along the way. The Lord healed me of all that also. When no one else loved me, when I felt I did not have a father or mother, He himself saw fit to love me. He also gave me a family of a wonderful husband and 3 children. I am a living testament to the fact that God brings the lonely and heartbroken to a place of healing. He has fufilled and is fufilling His promises to me. He is Faithful and True. Now I want to share that love with the world. One of the ways to share that love is a dream to write a book about my life. I have often been asked by many counselors with degrees and by professional people to write this book. I don't know when I'll start this dream. So, I think that every now and then I will blog about different things in my life. It is my prayer that my blogs will help people and show them the love of my Lord. May the Lord bless and keep you!
