Overcome Adversity & Improve Your Life
Planting Seeds of Faith – My father always had a way with words. And one day, in moments of anger, his words became seeds of faith.
One night in a rage, my husband destroyed our wedding presents. The only wedding present he didn’t destroy an elegant family Bible.
Several months later, I walked up the steps to my father’s apartment with the Bible in hand. My husband sent me to ask him to purchase the Bible so he could get money to buy drugs.
The heart of Domestic Violence is the people we have become growing up or are going into the situation. It’s our past and current experiences in life reflected outward through our actions and reactions.
Its personal choices we have made or will make in life and two people coming together who are downtrodden in spirit.
I’m a 20+ year survivor of Domestic Violence. It took years to heal in mind and spirit. I praise God he never left nor forsaken me. God’s love and strength have seen me thru the toughest of times.
My personal testimony of coming to faith in Jesus Christ
As a child, I lived in the Adirondack Mountains. On vast woodland once owned by my grandparents Willard and Maude Carleton.
My father worked in the Paper Mill and plowed and harvested his fields and cut down firewood for winter. And mom was a housewife and later worked providing home care.
