Invisible Masks Traumatic experiences, rejection, and abuse can cause us to function as opposites of our true selves. We often say I’m fine when we’re emotionally, physically, and spiritually on edge. We don’t want the people around us to know we are hurting or struggling because exposing our weakness makes us vulnerable. In Who I’ve Become, Sonya shares her own painful experience as a victim of childhood sexual abuse—from being pursued by one family member’s perversions to being used by several others and lying to keep up the facade that everything was okay when she was hurting inside. Sonya's story shows how her abusers stole her ability to trust her parent’s love just like the enemy tricks us into thinking we can’t take our burdens to the Lord and leave them there. This book shows how we all wear masks at one time or another to cover up our frailties, and the danger that comes when we lose our purpose and ourselves. More than a testimonial, this is a resource to help you take off the mask and find the person God created you to be. Who I’ve Become is a mirror of truth. Are you ready to meet the TruU?

I wasn't always like this, a monster, running through the woods on an alien planet. I was once a man. I had dreams, a girlfriend, and a great job.Then They came. In the middle of the night, They scooped me from my home, and... changed me. Made me do things I'd rather not think about, for reasons that are far beyond my comprehension. They weren't able to keep me, though, and through a bizarre set of circumstances, I was able to escape.Now I'm a beast, a demon the like of which the world I've become stranded on has never seen before, scraping by on the fringes of society, hiding from the natives, and doing my best to avoid notice. After all, I rather doubt the natives would take too kindly to a monster living nearby. They'd probably organize themselves into some kind of mob, or hire monster hunters to take me down.And besides... even if they took me in, what then? Would they help me get back home? Protect me from the demons that are surely coming for me?No... Even if they opened their hearts to me, I couldn't do that to them. I couldn't possibly bring Their wrath down on this world.It would probably be best for everyone if they never knew I even existed...
