After I woke up this morning, I remembered to praise God and ask him for guidance for the day. After my husband had threatened me I immediately called the domestic hotline, and they they had availability for shelter. Then my husband took a nap and I was able to get everything and get out. The entire time I kept asking God for strength and guidance. For his reassurance that I was doing the right thing. With God giving me nuggets of understanding while I talked to him. That by leaving I give my husband the chance to either elevate his life or remain where he is. That this is his chance to lean onto God and to surrender if he’s willing to humble himself. I love my husband and pray he’ll change.

  1. Great job!

    Understand that he already knows exactly what you want to hear to get you back in his control.

    He won’t give you a chance to escape again.

    No matter what he says the Lord said to him…

    Go build your own life and only see him in a counselors or lawyer office.

  2. Don’t count on him changing. If he’s an abuser, you don’t need to go back to him even if he seems like he has changed. Make other plans. Read the book Don’t Call that Man by Rhonda Findling. Divorce.

  3. God bless and be safe. Remember that God wants you to thrive. You did the right thing.

  4. Good job! I know from experience that it’s so hard to leave.

    I said a prayer for you, hope that was alright.

    You can do this!! 💙

  5. As a child of horrid abuse I thank you for getting away. I hope you find happiness and find someone that truly loves you and will never even think about laying a hand on you.
