Reflection

Life choices brought me to a breaking point 7 years ago. I began a journey I never dreamed off. I walked away from an abusive relationship and was left facing uncertainty with my son who was 5 and my new born daughter. Through the process of these 7 years I have found that every second matters and no suffering is meaningless. God is doing something in me and through me for life in His eternal weight of glory. A seed of interest in the potential of growth was planted in my heart. That seed grew has I let go of fear and I believed in myself. I took God’s truth and day by day I turned to Him. My journey is far from perfect yet through God’s grace the lives of hundreds of women and children have been saved.

I remember my parents working very hard to earn a living. They worked in agriculture year-round, hot summers on their knees and cold winters even when they were sick. Graduating from high school I never thought of college. My goal was to help my parents financially. I saw how hard it was for them to pay the bills. Days after high school graduation I started working in a real estate office. My career was successful, and I never felt the need to pursue a higher education. At the age of 22 I met a man whom I decided to build life together with. We had a son years later and our daughter was born before I left the relationship. What was stable and secure started to fail. The real estate meltdown and recession financially affected me and the kids. I new something had to be done but I didn’t know where to
