LORD IF YOU CAN
JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS MESS!
Am I the only
one who has asked this of God?
I cleaned up
well when I was out and about yet my spirit was in shambles and the walls of my
heart and mind was in total disarray. My footing was not on solid ground but
more like quick sand that hardened into concrete. My life was in a quandary and
the dilemma I was dealing with was both embarrassing and shameful. Excuse my
mess was my apologetic way of dealing with my house not being in order…..Like a
hoarder my mental state of mind was a reflection of the chaos that was evident but I had found a way to be
comfortable in it.
I guess I need
to address what my mess was. Domestic Abuse/Violence also known as Intimate
Partner Abuse/Violence! One in every 4
women has lived, is living and unfortunately will live in a relationship mess
known as Domestic Violence/Intimate Partner abuse. It is a dirty little secret that messes up
the lives of numerous families.
I was truly a
Hot Mess. Tore up from the floor up.
LORD IF YOU CAN
JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS MESS!
Prayer
answered!
I left, along
with my toddler daughter, with just the clothes on our backs and my child’s
diaper bag. There was a lesson in that
deliverance…no need to carry baggage from the mess I was leaving….I was getting
the opportunity to start over with a clean slate.
I got delivered
from the mess through the Grace/Mercy and Power of God.
I know I am one
of the fortunate ones who escaped safely and for many years I wanted to put my
life of abuse behind me. Thanks to the
support of family, counseling, along with support groups I was able to make
sense of the mess I had lived through. I went from being a victim to becoming a
victor. This should have been the end of
my story but it became another beginning.
God took the distress of my mess and transformed it to bless. I survived
and today I Thrive. God took my misery
and transformed it to my ministry of NuRevelations.
I say Yes
to my Mess. It no longer identifies
me. It happened to me and because of it I am more empathetic and can sympathize
with others.
Yes to my Mess
has given me the passion and desire to motivate others to discover their
purpose and have healthy, happy, safe, abuse free and Loving relationships!
Yes to my Mess
has granted me the platform to have a vlog entitled
“Stop in the Name of Love” - in order to
think things over so abuse won’t break your heart!
Yes to my Mess
has granted me the opportunity to be an advocate and
Conduct
seminars and workshops bringing awareness, education, prevention of domestic
and child abuse.
Yes to my Mess
has granted me the platform to
Conduct Relationship seminars
for healthy dating and healthy communication in Marriages.
Yes to my Mess
has granted me the platform to
Empower
and motivate others to Live our Lives by Divine Design!
Could
it be that your Mess will be your YES…it has been for me.

ReplyDeleteDarlene Sheardon Thank you for sharing. I too am a survivor of domestic abuse - both mental, financial and physical. It is a blessed feeling to make it to the other side and be able to reach back and encourage others. I am very proud and inspired by the work with http://www.nurevelations.com. From our first meeting, and hearing you speak, I could feel the anointing on your life. Continue to THRIVE!
