Let me introduce myself....

I thought I'd begin by telling a little about myself. I am a single mother of 3. After 20 years of being in an abusive marriage, I finally found the courage to leave. I didn't think I could do it, but God has been with me every step of the way. I am also a recovering alcoholic. This was my way of coping with the abuse I was living in. It hasn't been an easy 2 years, but God has delivered me from the bondage of abuse and addiction.



My favorite Scripture is found in Psalm 40: 1-3.....I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be astounded. They will put their trust in the Lord.



God has truly lifted me out of the pit. I had made my home in the pit. It was what I knew best. When I finally cried out to God, He lovingly lift me from the pit. It was a pit of despair, hopelessness, misery, sin....He lifted me out. He placed my feet on a solid ground. I was was new to this way of life. In fact it was very uncomfortable to me at first. Now, I have a new song in my heart. My heart's desire is to share my story with other women. My prayer is that other's will see that with God there is hope out of the bondage of abuse and addiction or whatever it is that has one captive. With God there is hope. He delivered me and He will do it for you also.
