I wasn't necessarily turning help away because I didn't recognize that I needed it. The sad thing about my upbringing was the lie that I was healed of the trauma I went through, without discussing it/without dealing with it at all, as long as I prayed/read my bible/had enough faith. I thought I was already healed but all my pain was simply covered up. So much of who I am, negatively, stems from my past abuse. I wasn't able to see that until I realized I needed help, sought it out and then walked through the process of uncovering and healing.

The wall was there because you didn't allow the help in the first place. Isn't it so amazing that God loves us enough to break down the walls so we can build the new, strong foundation on Him? Ugh the pride I have makes that so hard for me to take. Yes, yes, yes! The wall was there because you didn’t allow the help in the first place.
