I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Isreal, your savior (Isa.43: 1-3).

Sometimes we have to go through the fire, and many times get burned, before we learn from our mistakes or do something about our present situation. That is why I love that text, it's comforting.

Many times we don't have the strength or we simply don't know what to do or how to get out.

I wanted out from my situation, but I didn't know how to get out and I was so afraid. My friends, let me tell you that fear is your worse enemy. It will paralyze you and keep you from doing things which can, and many times, will change your life, either for good or bad.

I had gotten involved with someone who was not the right person for me. I have Muscular Dystrophy; a weakness of the muscles. It is a debilitating disease that affects the limbs.

There are many things I need help with and this person helped me out a lot. I quickly put my trust in him and depended on him to a certain extent.

It only took four months before this person's true intentions came out.

It only took something menial before I made him angry and he reacted. He was abusive, both pysically and mentally.

I thank God that it didn't get to the point of battery, it was the emotional and psychological things he did to me that were hard to forget and hard to put behind me. I became very depressed and exasprated.

I felt like a prisoner in my own home, if I tried to call for help he disconnected the phone, and nevermind trying to go for the door, and if that wasn't enough he would disconnect my chair battery! I couldn't move lol. I couldn't reconnect it either.

I was afraid and became very depressed and tried to end my life, but God had a purpose for me because it didn't work.

In a way I was relieved, but it still didn't ease my pain. I continued in the relationship out of fear and because I didn't know how to get out of it. He had threaten me and my family, of course I didn't put anything past him and I believed him...
