🚨Unpopular post alert but one worth reading!
This event & time of year always hits us deep & different as survivors… especially for me as also being a woman that has struggled with abusive tendencies which stemmed from being a child that grew up in a home plagued with domestic violence❤️🩹🙏🏽the impact domestic violence has on children in the home can be very detrimental! Ik first hand but thank God I have savior that picked me up turned me around & placed my feet on solid ground!👏🏽🙌🏽
Love shouldnt hurt! Pride, fear, shame, denial, guilt etc is a hindrance to truth! God created us for greater things & Jesus did not go to the cross for anyone to be abused. It’s actually bíblical in Psalm 11:5. He loves us waay too much for that! So if you or someone you know is bound up by abuse please call the number in the pics or pm us. We will pray for & with you & help you with resources whether you’re local or not.
My prayer is that these events would start to incorporate more Jesus & prayer but still grateful for non profits like that put together these kind of awareness events so that we can support our brothers & sisters.🦾✝️
