Do You Isolate Yourself?
I believe one of the best things a survivor of abuse can do to help with her* healing is to get out of the house and be among loving, caring friends. You might agree . . . in theory. However, the people who you thought were your friends when you were with your abuser...
The Lord Calls for Justice
I just finished my month of reading the bible every day. Toward the end of the month, we were to read the book of Amos. As I did a few weeks ago, I read these two chapters, and wrote down anything that stood out to me. Then, I went back and tried to identify what the...

My Second Book: A Journey to Healing After Emotional Abuse
