THE EVOLVING WOMAN Written by: Anessa Theron
My childhood memories are mostly not pleasant; however, every experience was training ground and preparation to craft a new life journey for myself. My world was centred around survival. I lived with guardian parents in an environment often referred to as previously disadvantaged. I chose to later modify this description to express it as previously differently advantaged, as I acquired invaluable life skills to become buoyant & self-sufficient. God’s light upon my life was powerfully evident, albeit I never knew or understood this initially. There were many times I questioned God. WHY ME? What have I done to deserve this life and being raised in these terrible and traumatic living conditions?
