I was watching Dr Phil today on Domestic Violence and I THANK God that I was able to walk away or as my daughter say run away from a domestic violent marriage. Yes I was mentally scared, from making a bad choice, from pride being hurt, caring about what people was saying and the embarrassment; but now looking back none of that mattered, I Have LIFE. I also learned that it is easy to say, I would have...., I wouldnt take....., etc because guess what, I use to say the same thing and I thought I was a pretty strong intelligent chick with my act together but even I went through the drama. There was two things that encouraged me to get out, I almost lost my eye sight and seeing the impact on my children. I never want to see my daughter/granddaughter go through this and I never want my son to put a female through this. My heart goes out to Janay Rice; unfortunately(or maybe fortunately), her situation was made public but one of the reason she has probably stayed is because of what she thought people would think of her and guess what we have proven her right because we have made her a villain for staying, where the empathy? Even when I walked away my life was threatened many times, BUT GOD. My family, friends and co-workers didnt know to what extent I was going through because I kept on the mask, they did not know the pain behind the Smile. If you are going through this TAKE off the mask NOW. I AM HERE if you need someone to talk to, share and assist you. I dont have all the answers but we can walk this walk together. I do know how to pray and I have a book, Prayers that Availeth Much that have prayers for all situation if the words just wont come out. I encourage Families and Friends if you suspect any physically or verbal abuse to a family member, co-worker or friend, extend yourself to them, dont nag , dont judge but show GENUINE love, GENUINE support, GENUINELY pray with and for them. Build self confidence in your young ladies, tell them you love them, women dont let them see you being desperate for a relationship with a man that you settle. I get so bothered these days when I see young and older women desperate for a man and we settle for drunkenness, sharing with other women, being ignored, abuse, no jobs and not trying to get one, etc. it is time that we as women stand for who we are and know it is okay to be alone, because at the end of the day we are never alone, God is always there. I definitely have to wait on God this go round. No I wasnt always here, but I told God I wanted a change in my life and I wanted to be a better person for him and he had kept and shielded me from soooo much, I did not want to take a chance that my favor with him would run out. We never know the time nor the hour. This is so near and dear to me I could go on and on but I will stop here. Thanks for listening. Oh and last but not least, STOP JUDGING and be kind to one another you never know what that person is going through. Psalm 34:17-19 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. Isaiah 40:31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
