I Am Not A Victim, I Am A Survivor! ~ First and foremost, I will have you know that I am a survivor and a Christian. Secondly, I will share that I have been a victim of most types of abuse: childhood abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, spouse abuse, religious abuse, criminal abuse and even self abuse. Third, I will not be silenced and that, my friends… is what this site is all about. Welcome to a story of survival!
About ~ Purpose, Passion & Progress! Our purpose is to survive it, our passion is to rise above it and progress happens when we give back. Survive, Rise & Thrive! We survive hell, live life and give hope. Find out how you can help support these efforts now!
About Me ~ I am a survivor and I have a story to tell. It is my hope to touch your soul deeply, profoundly and permanently with my story.
My Life Stories ~ While I am currently writing these pieces for a fictional book, they are based on true events. It is a way to document the many tears which have paved the unsuspecting paths of hell here on earth (check this tab occasionally as I will continue to add more)
My Poetry ~ Within these poems is the bittersweet journey of one victims struggle to become a survivor and to remain a believer. It is a hope to turn tragedies into something valuable, and a testament of how good can come out of evil every time.
A Voice ~ Who will be a voice for the victims? As a personal choice I will be a voice for the victims. For, I am a survivor and a Christian!

I, too, am a survivor–and I can honestly say I don’t recognize myself anymore, because of all God has done, and continues to do–in and for me! Praise Him!!

Hi dear heart!!! I do so hope you are well :) As one survivor to another, it’s not always easy to speak of these things, but God brought us through them for a reason! That we may give hope to others by sharing our successes and struggles. But you already know that, don’t you!! just as I do :) mega hugs and love, Terri

Thanks so much Terri ~ it is so important that we support one another as much as we’re able to :) Knowing that we might be able to offer someone else enough hope to get through their own struggle is what can give us the courage to do it. I hope you’ve been well too my friend and many warm HUGS!

Jessie I want to say I am gald you are a survior! had it not been for the Lord on your side my dear you could of gone the other way..But thanks be to God you did not go that way,. You tell your story and help others and that is what a solider is to do..AMEN

Such sweet tears for your encouragement and support Desiray… my heart skipped a beat and I broke when I read, “You tell your story and help others and that is what a solider is to do” To be a soldier for Christ is what it’s all about. What a sweet honor and how humbling, but its something each of us can give back, because we all have a story which is really HIS testimony if we’re just willing to share it :) Just like you said, that is what a soldier does otherwise, what is the point? May we wake up, stand up and speak up for the glory of His Kingdom. Blessings to you dear and thank you so much!

I have missed connecting with you my sweet friend as I got a bit overwhelmed in keeping up with some of my responses to personal emails (which are always such a blessing!) I am sorry and look forward to hopefully catching up once again soon. Please know you have never left my prayers or my heart.
As you know, some days are better and easier than others, but it only continues to strengthen my faith, as well as my beliefs, so for that I am very grateful :)
I do hope some of these links are helpful and I send many warm hugs your way :) Love to you my sister, but never forget… He loves you SO much more than anyone else will ever be able to!
