My Renewed Voice

Kids' chores are usually a sign of loving parents who want to instill good values in them. For Lorrie Green, it was quite the opposite. When domestic violence led to her parents' separation and her mother turned to drinking alcohol, Lorrie's life fell apart through sexual child abuse. After being abused in the foster home where she was placed, she ended up back at her mother's house. There her mother's boyfriend also abused her and showed her only worth was what she did around the house. What does Lorrie have to say after this kind of childhood? A lot! God was always the avenue of her reprieve until she was finally delivered to total freedom once and for all. The voice He preserved is the one she uses to speak out and reach out--telling abuse victims they, too have a future and a purpose.
