Well I came to the Lord last year the day before Good Friday I got baptized on or around Easter Weekend. I had to reach rock bottom, and be at the verge of suicide, and two previous attempts years prior to that. To realize that the void in my life nothing could fill. My 13 pets,material things,my family, so I went to my neighbors who are Christian’s and reached for there hand. I was married at age 18 and 19 forced to have an abortion. If I did not do it my marriage was over. Now this was on my first year of marriage. My husband had moved me to Florida a year later to get me away from the only family I had my parents. Again I got pregnant this time he aloud it. I lived for 7 or eight years locked in a house with two kids, no friends, was not allowed to work, could not buy anything, or go any where without his permission. I was physical, and mentally abused for those 7 or 8 years. He took out a past ports for each of my boys, and threatened that if I left him and went home to my parents he would kill all of us, and take the kids out of the country. I had no skills I had to beg him to let me go to school. I took a course in Medical Assistant Clinical and Administrative the course was for a year. After I graduated and got a job working with a Dermatologist I asked him for a divorce. He through me out of my bedroom,and bad mouthed me with my children, I lost a son for two years because of him,at a later point after my divorce and that was 7 years after the fact, and I had to sleep on a couch for months until he moved out. But I still could not leave South Florida. My years growing up where also of sexual abuse by a neighbor and a stranger at a party at age 7 or 8 not quite sure, then again before my 15th birthday. Lets say my life was a nightmare until I started walking with the lord. I have been married with a wonderful man for 17 years now. He deserves a metal for putting up with me and my disfunctional kids. Who now are 29 and 31 and still single and one still lives at home. So I must say even though I don’t have the perfect marriage but I dont’t have the abuse. Its like we are roomate sharing a house. But its better then what I had so I cannot complain to much. Is there ever real happyness I do not know for me I think not in this life time. But if it was not for the Lord and his connection with me I do not know where I would be. Probably 10 feet under. So I Thank Him every day of my life and pray that he allows me to help those in need. And maybe someone that read my story can agree with some of it. Oh lets not forget the seventeen years of depression and anxiety attack because of my past. For that peace of mind Im greatful to my medication again if it was not for the meds I would probably would not be writing this. So for those ladies out there that are victims of abuse I think I would like to start a blog. Give me your imput for the go ahead.
Hi Sara
I was in a mastermind group yesterday and the subject of the group that would promote our businesses on this site came up. Would you still like to do this? I think the consensus was that the few of us who were part of the call would like to have something on the site so we can all utilize one another’s businesses and you had a great idea to start this.
Let me know what you think

Sara, your story sounds almost identical to a woman I am coaching. When I pray for her I will pray for you also. You are both strong women. God will use every experience, He wastes nothing. I pray that you will be blessed and will be a blessing to others!
Thanks for sharing your story,
Blessings,

Hello you are right we have to be stronger and let go of the past, which I did this weekend at the women’s retreat. I also went and forgave my parents my husband #2 one of my son’s that lives here. Our Spirit is closed for differnt people that have hurt us. I was able to open and heal my Spirit this weekend. It was incrediable I wish I new about this years ago, I would have avoided so much pain,
