Finding Hope in This Crazy World
Hello Friends. It is finally time. I recently led a Bible Study on how God delivered me from living in domestic violence. Here are the 2 videos and the PowerPoint Slides from my presentation. Keep in mind, I tell it like it was - meaning these videos are NOT for children. There are many references... Continue Reading →
As a former victim of domestic violence rape, and abuse I understand what 'triggers' are. It may be a sound, a smell, a memory, or anything that transports your mind back to the moment of abuse. You think that that would go away. I mean really, it's been over 15 years ago for me. How... Continue Reading →
I heard a sermon the other day where the Pastor shared the hard times of their life. Not a watered down, build you up, prosperity sermon - but the real thing, real life.

"They lie, cheat, steal, and kill to get their way. For them, it is a practical matter." How I wish someone had taught me these things before I started dating for the first time. Life was always a game with men like this and they would do anything to win. Lesson learned.
Keeping your sanity - when you are sleeping with the enemy. Let me share a story. I came to the Lord during a time of crisis in my life. Isn't that how it goes? Anyway, I was charmed by the 'snake' just like Eve in the garden. His talk was smooth, he was absolutely charming,... Continue Reading →
It has been said that as a man thinks he is in his heart, so he is. If you think you are a victim, and refuse to take a step forward, you might stay a victim. Overcoming this mentality has taken me years. After living in domestic violence for years I had given away all... Continue Reading →
