I'm going to give you a small testimony...
I suffered though depression for many years. Over 30 years. That's a long time to suffer the effects of such a debilitating illness. I was a functioning depressed person. I worked and maintained to the best of my ability, but it did leave lasting effects on my family. Unfortunately my children suffered with me. Not really being present, when I was with them. Like I said debilitating! I lived in my bedroom in complete darkness. I appeared to be ok when in public, but no one really knew the struggle I was going through. I was abused to the point of strangulation, kicked, hit, slapped, choked, smothered and shot at. I was trying to survive and still trying to maintain a public appearance as though everything was fine. I learned to tolerate the abuse as part of my life, knowing that wasn't the way anyone should live. I had very real fear of what my abuser would do to me. I really didn't know if I was ever going to escape the terror. Some days would be ok, but no one truly knew what was going on behind closed doors. Other days, I wanted to commit suicide. I'm just being real. Abuse changes a person. You look at yourself in the mirror and wonder who you are. There are so many details to my testimony, but I want to tell those that are suffering through abuse that there is hope. I am proof! I am evidence before your eyes that God is real and he is for you. He gave me revelation on what actually healed me. 5 key elements that you will learn in our I am W O M A N movement classes. Please consider taking the classes so that you may be whole and complete to be able to fulfill God's plan for your life. God called me for a purpose and I am being obedient to that calling. I first had to recover, and I am still in recovery. Through Christ I can do all things, and so can you! Join us Feb. 9th for your gateway to freedom through educational classes and of course through the power of Jesus Christ.
