Hello. My name is Shea. I am Director and Co-Founder of Shadow of His Wings Ministry. The vision for this ministry was born out of my own healing from emotional and sexual abuse. Through my healing, wouldn't you know it, I ended right into the arms of Jesus! Don't get me wrong...I don't mean to sound "holier than thou." I, by no means, am wanting to come off in that way. There was a time when I viewed others that had not been through what I had been through as somehow getting off easy in life. I had alot of walls of anger that slowly had to be torn down before I could get to where I could even begin to let others in.
Which leads me to today. Here I am, preparing to write my "About" page. Knowing this will leave me in a very vulnerable position, I can honestly say that I still have much healing needed in my life. I still struggle with my feelings of being "less than" and "unworthy." I thank God that these struggles are becoming less and less.
Sexuality for me has always been a hard subject. Rape is never easy. Which is where it all began for me. The degradation that is brought into a person's life when they are raped is (in my opinion) inconceivable to anyone that has never experienced this pain. Rape leaves you feeling not only sad and alone, it can leave you with such a hole in your heart that you seek in all directions for something to fill that need. The need is the wanting to be loved, for who you are.
