Notes

"‘From Broken to Bethany’ is a true story…

A story that tells, in part, my life experiences, but also of many that I have encountered over the years.

It starts with the pain of a lost childhood, sexual abuse and then the inevitable consequences of such a beginning.

Wrong relationships, wrong lifestyle choices, living a life with little or no real self worth. For a great part of my life,

I have believed that fear and love go together and have only felt a sense of security in violent and fearful relationships.

Then, parenting. Trying against all the odds to nurture children, with little or no good experience to draw on.

Living, and failing daily, then leads to shame, guilt and more fear. Fear for your children's present and future lives.

I have lived and sometimes wanted to die in the midst of it all, but I have found hope. The Lord Jesus Christ, by the loving power of His Holy Spirit has helped me in the midst of my hopelessness, despair and just not wanting to be me.

He has set about restoring my life since I allowed him into my place of hiding. It is Jesus who has led me gently by the hand into the presence of the perfect parent, my Father in heaven.

I would not say that I now get it ‘right’ all the time, but I do have someone to turn to when I inevitably get it wrong.

I am forgiven all things through my belief that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me. Because of that knowledge, I have been able to forgive my abuser and forgive myself for my mistakes.

I dedicate this album to those who are still hiding, that they may find the courage to knock on the one true door of hope. Also, in loving memory of my late father and mother, for doing their very best in the most difficult of circumstances.

“ So I am going to take her into the desert again; there I will win her back with words of love. I will give back to her the vineyards she had and make Trouble Valley a door of hope…” Hosea Ch 2 V14-15

“There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear. So then, love has not been made perfect in anyone who is afraid, because fear has to do with punishment.” 1 John Ch 4 v 18.
