A FREEDOM YOU’VE NEVER KNOWN

What if the very thing you were holding on to, was the very thing that could free you if you chose to let it go? It could be anything like unforgiveness, childhood trauma, a relationship, a job, an idea and even something tangible. To be completely transparent, for me it was my family……

You see my parents divorced when I was 9 years old. I remember what that felt like as a child and never wanted that for my children. I stayed in a toxic marriage for 14 years. Now, I’m not perfect and may have even contributed to the toxicity. To be honest, I knew my husband wasn’t happy (he just wouldn’t admit it) and I wanted my family so bad that I accepted disrespect and treatment that no one should have to endure.

I prayed and cried a lot but I kept most of the things that was going on to myself. Seriously, how could I share what I was feeling or even explain what was happening around or to me. I was told no one would be believe me. I felt alone and started to get used to it. Only a couple of my friends knew and my family suspected what was happening but I couldn’t and wouldn’t tell them. Especially since I had no plans of giving up on my family or leaving my husband. Regardless of how he treated me, I loved him with everything I had and with everything I knew to do. He was everything to me and I was believing that God was going fix what was broken in me, my husband and our marriage. But that’s now how God chose to answer me. In January 2023, I finally mustered up the courage and I left everything I knew and ran.

Here’s how my journey began………..

John 13:7

 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
