Domestic Violence Awareness Month is in October!

In the coming month, I want to share with you all my journey as a two times Domestic Violence Victim/Survivor in separate relationships. Once in a six year marriage, and another time in a 17 months long relationship, a situation I told myself after my first marriage would never ever happen to me ever again, BUT it did. I am hoping that my story will educate the public and encourage possible victims and raise awareness!!

I am standing here today ONLY because GOD made a way! But every year over 4000 women are killed due to Domestic Violence, 75% of those that were killed, either as they attempted to leave or after leaving. That is a staggering number of preventative deaths. On average a victim will attempt to leave an abusive relationship seven times before she leaves for good.
I hope you all will embark on this journey with me to my deliverance. 

I have since rebuilt my life, joyous and happy and completely free of violence. I am since happily remarried to the kindest, most gentlest and most supportive man GOD graced me with and because of GOD and Him I am now healed and was FINALLY able to be emotionally and spiritually consoled and truly feel safe and secure for the first time ever. I am finally free from the unspoken emotional scars that I carried with me for years, the physical scars remain and are a reminder of my strength, courage and constantly striving to be more than I was ever "allowed" to be and knowing that GOD even in my darkest hours watched over me, because I literally could have been dead!

I am nervous about sharing my journey, but GOD knew that one day a WARRIOR would arise in me and I would speak out, I am willing to be broken and used as HIS Vessel, with the hope of restoration of other women, men and children who find themselves in a similar situation as mine was, by sharing my pain, my mountain and my deliverance.

I love you for CHRISTS sake Sister J.
