  20. It’s amazing how people somehow find eachother from the same backgroung with almost the same story and come out of it with the same strength. I love that we fell upon eachother and I love your messages, story, valid raw points, and most of all inspiration. You who have come from the same darkness that once surrounded me as well are shedding light on the world with your beautiful soul…..this is rare for many survivors of abuse sadly many are inward or beg for pity not thinking that there are other’s out there like us that need desperately to know they are not alone! Thank you for being YOU! 🙂 Jacqueline

  21. You are singing my song! I love your site and the challenges you present. Thanks for sharing! And thank you for checking out my blog. I’m glad you found me. Isn’t it encouraging to know God’s faithfulness knows no end, and we are not the only one who has experienced it?

    1. You are so right Laura, I am grateful for God’s faithfulness. And I am happy we found each other too! 😉

  23. I am so happy for you. There are so many women who just continue in their relationships. I know it’s easy for us to say…leave him…and although our best intentions are at heart…it is not easy to do. So we also need to understand this and instead of telling them how, we have to show them how.

    Reply

    1. You are so right Kev, I had so many people “tell” me what to do, but only a few that would “show” me. Most women in this situation don’t even have access to cash near the end, or a vehicle. So when people say “just leave” it’s like “yeah, how?” With no money, no job, and no support system…not as easy as all that.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts today. I’m coming over to visit your blog next!

  55. I have to tell you that I LOVE your gravatar–it’s Blue, my fave color; and my failing vision has some lovely benefits, in that I thought it was a “Crown”! I realize now that it’s not–but it’s still wonderful! God bless you BIG, as He continues to pour Himself into you so that you can share and minister to others. As He strengthens those of us who were/are so wounded, we have much to offer–great testimonies to bring His Hope. love, sis Caddo

    1. You and your blog are a wonderful blessing Pastor. I am grateful that God is taking back ALL lines of communication on the internet. I can’t tell you how many Christians I know who have now started blogging. Thank you Jesus! Peace and joy, Diana

      1. Thank you Diana! The internet is a wonderful tool for the Gospel of Christ. However, it is the Christian’s responsibility to take ownership of technology and use it for God’s Glory! When we do, we will see the “greater works” being done. May His best be yours!
