I have 11 churches, 9 doctors...all in "God's Plan", embezzle, rape,attempt overdosing/euthansia: but God....ALL Pastors, Elders, Deacons, Prayer Leaders...(plus 2 demonic wives); while I searched for help; after sexual abuse beginning at 3, other at 2, Jesus at 6 but evil continued; husband stalker, mo hated from womb, cast me out, could never go home, family hated..why? I existed. 45 surgeries, died 7 times; God brought me here to heal but all was rejection and abuse, persecution, and the fine "Christians". Sick bad. No church, no doctor, no family (God: Your roots are in ME. I am your Family. more) I have believed and expected...too bad too hard too heavy too looong. How do I get out of here? Sick, done.
