Welcome

I'm Teeli (Tee-lee) Reynolds and this is my journey through the harrowing nightmare of sexual abuse within a close-knit family of faith. I believed, for such a long time, that true evil could never enter into my home because we loved Jesus. But Satan is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. His very real presence in this world means that we will come into contact with his attempts to steal, kill, and destroy us.

So how do I keep pressing into the hard, ugly battle of trusting a loving God even as my family is torn apart?

Because Jesus said, "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." -John 16:33
