True Love

Six years ago I was in a very controlling relationship. I didn't have friends outside of his. I barely talked to my family. I couldn't go out, even if I wanted to unless I was with him and/or his brother. I went to work, and then I came home and watched TV. I was completely and utterly alone. I thought I would have no choice but to settle for him, because I had nothing outside of our relationship. Six years ago, on valentines day, he was angry about a test he had taken at school. He threw a remote at me..hitting my leg and leaving a bruise. I was devastated. I knew he had anger issues, but I never thought I would physically be at the other side of that.

Six years later, I have fallen so deeply in love with my God. I have surrendered my life, and my will to be in line with His. And my amazing husband has done the same. Jim and I have found a wonderful church to be a part of. Together we are building the foundational years of our marriage in Christ. Learning so much about God, and each other.

God really picked me up from the bottom of the cliff, and helped me rebuild my life, stone by stone. Though the last six years have not been without pain, suffering, heartaches and tears..I am thankful for it all! I have been blessed more than I deserve.

Thank you God for all you have given me. For loving me even though I walked away when times got tough. Thank you for strengthening me, and bringing me to this place where I can love, serve and lead others to your arms. The way Amanda led me back home, five years wonderful years ago.
