We've really tried to be conscious of your reading load during the #biblein90days process however we also want to encourage our other sisters who may not be taking the 90 day journey with us. God heard our desires and sent us exactly that.
While scrolling through instagram we saw a post from a sister that sent us directly into the prayer closet. Our heart is that when you read it, you'll thank God for the victory in this sisters story. You'll pray for the healing in your or another sisters story and you'll raise sons and daughter who will honor ALL of God's children.
How do we raise our expectations when world systems says
we aren't valuable unless we have valuables???
Below is a post from Tristen Paige
9 years ago my ex gifted me a luxury car as an "I'm excited you're having my baby gift." He gifted me a lot of things, but the things didn't comfort me when he didn't come home at night. The things didn't take away the pain when he was beating and cheating on me.
Who cares about a Maserati when you are getting pushed out of it at 9 months pregnant? What's luxury when you're missing love? What's status when it causes you to compromise all of your standards? Be careful of what you see from the outside and wish you had, without knowing what the inside actually looks like. He was the first man to ever take me to church. We sat on the front row every Sunday and I remember women telling me they wished they had what I had. They had no idea I was desperately wishing for a way out and I was just too afraid to say it out loud.
At 9 months pregnant I voluntarily gave the car back and began to walk away from him. A month after giving birth to my daughter he hit me for the last time. He punched me multiple times in my face causing me to permanently lose partial hearing in my left ear and he told me if I left him he would not help me with our child. I would be on my own and that was about the only thing he told the truth about... I left anyways and he did not help me. In fact, for awhile he tried everything o make like more difficult for me without him. But while I left him, I was never truly on my own because GOD NEVER LEFT ME! Ladies...NEVER stay in a toxic relationship in fear of being alone or not being able to provide. Never be afraid to let go of what does not truly matter in efforts to reclaim the truth that YOU MATTER! You are beautifully and wonderfully made, and while you may have to take some journeys without some people, when you belong to God, you are never alone!! 8 years later I realized that God is the only gift giver!! Love, safety and freedom never taste sweeter! Cheers to believing in new beginnings! "On the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided!" - Genesis 22:14- It's a new day!!! Buying my own dang Car!!
