The answers aren't in a neat little box.<BR/><BR/>I think the church at times is just to lazy to deal with it. It much more than making sure the coffee shop and book store are making money, or the more recent mission project have enough funds.<BR/><BR/>Please seek out help until someone listens. Call your local domestic violence shelter! There are people that understand, and are willing to help. They do offer more than simplisitic opinions on the matter!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165967476661656865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10948559.post-91995049580702338912008-11-06T13:16:00.000-06:002008-11-06T13:16:00.000-06:00I would like to thank you for your words of wisdom...I would like to thank you for your words of wisdom. I have to confess that I have an verbal abusive husband and just recently went to my Pastor wife and broke down and confess my pain and having a broken spirit. I explained how I felt and wanted to leave the marriage. I was told I can not get a divorce and that it sounds like my husband just needed God. They will be in prayer for me. Yet to this day, either one of my pastors have inquired how we are doing or how am I doing. I was very blessed to read your entry. I thank God someone does get it. I thank you for who u r in Christ!!!! <BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10948559.post-41723693576055264332008-11-06T12:59:00.000-06:002008-11-06T12:59:00.000-06:00I so loved this words of wisdom. I have to confes...I so loved this words of wisdom. I have to confess. I am having a very hard time loving my extreme verbal abusive husband as God would want me too. I have a such a broken spirit, which I know my God is very close. I wish the church would not be so wish washy regarding the issue of abuse!!!! I was told by my pastor I can not get a divorce and also I was told my husband just needed God but per my husband he is a Christian man and there is nothing wrong with me its just simply him. After almost 4 long years I am tired. I do not want this behavior in my life anymore. The pain is unbearable at times. Not one of my Pastor address us. They stated they would pray for us and has not inquired how we are or how I am doing!!! This is sad and yet very common when some folks are not getting God's true message. I am tired of women, men and children being Spiritually Abused too. Thanks so much for your encouragement. I am glad to see someone is getting it.<BR/>I will rise up and do what the spirit of the Lord leads me to do.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
