I broke free and such negative forces have been removed from my life. There is hope for your friend.

I have a friend who is a battered wife and what made it a crazy thing is that her husband is a pastor's son. Who will listen to her? <BR/><BR/>But then she followed her wounded heart...she went to an institution for Women Against Violence and talked about this matter. Those persons never judge her but gather facts about this things that's going on with her. <BR/><BR/>And now my friend as well as her daughter are protected.<BR/><BR/>Women must DRAW THE LINE!...enough is enough..we have rights and being a martir would not help us. <BR/><BR/>I am single and i would like a marriage that is filled with love and not violence. Pray for the marriage women and please include us, the singles, on your prayers also.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Karen for the post. Yay, thought i get so emotional reading about it haha...<BR/><BR/>Oh well..let's fight for our rights! <BR/><BR/>1 Peter 3:7<BR/>"Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."<BR/><BR/>Colossians 3:19<BR/>"Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697433684693286475.post-36262939154042801022008-08-18T02:27:00.000-05:002008-08-18T02:27:00.000-05:00I hope your friend finds the strength to say "Enou...I hope your friend finds the strength to say "Enough is enough"...you may have been the link she needed to do that...sometimes we are stronger through our friends (and family) than we can be alone...bless your heart for being there for her...I will whisper a little prayer just for her (and for you too)...<BR/><BR/>hugs.Joni https://www.blogger.com/profile/01471677167011145245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697433684693286475.post-1571865634070330442008-08-17T17:37:00.000-05:002008-08-17T17:37:00.000-05:00Such a touching and poignant post,I think that so ...Such a touching and poignant post,<BR/>I think that so many lives are affected by this affliction and go it alone and suffer in silence.<BR/>I pray with you that our prayers touch the life of someone suffering.<BR/><BR/>I have you added as my fav on my side bar but it was'nt updating that you had re-posted so I had'nt come by...Sorry!<BR/>Glad I have caught up on your posts now,<BR/>Enjoy your dayA Bite of Country Cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337808881393976817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697433684693286475.post-62536446333345717642008-08-17T16:07:00.000-05:002008-08-17T16:07:00.000-05:00What a powerful post.
