Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

1 Chronicles 28:20

Being Real: Relational Abuse Finale + My First Vlog

Throughout this series I’ve tried to be real as much as I was able, by writing about my story through relational abuse.

Sometimes reading someone’s words just isn’t enough. I love to write and I love to read, but sometimes I need to see a face and hear the tones in the words to truly connect and understand what is being said. I know I cannot be alone in these thoughts.

So, to end this series I decided I would let you see me. As close as possible. This is a first for me, I’ve never made a video and I don’t know that you’ll ever want me to again. It seemed like the best way to end this series.

It is my hope and prayer that this series has encouraged, taught and changed you. For the victim, speak out…don’t be silent. For the survivor, share your story…don’t be silent. For everyone else, listen…support…never silence a victim or survivor.

Make a difference. Don’t be silent. Change the world. For our kids. For our futures.
