Too many people think that if there are no bruises then the abuse did not happen. Unfortunately, this is so wrong. Abuse comes in many forms from verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, workplace or even spiritual. These are all forms of control and manipulation and all cause wounds to it’s victims. Just because we did not witness it or there is no physical proof does not mean that it did not happen.
Abuse comes in many forms…
and not a certain one is norm.
But too many think it’s hitting…
when it is also verbal or even spitting.
For many things not nice or kind…
are where these abuses we find. Continue reading

I saw this about dating and thought I would share will all the teens and singles out there. There are more single people now than ever before. Many are looking or waiting for spouses. There are many already making mistakes. Some are being abused before even getting married. Many are looking for love in all the wrong places. This is excellent advice and I pray that many children, including my own will receive the advice for their futures.
This is a message for teens and those longing for love…
regarding Dating Violence Awareness today.
There is so much I want to share…
but this is all that I will say.
GUARD YOUR HEART!
Many of you are longing
for the perfect one to date.
You look from place to place
hoping for your loving future mate.
Then others are only looking
for how many virgins you take.
You go from one to one
possibly with a few babies you make.
And many of you young girls
are so flattered with an older man.
But 10 to 30 years older than you!
You need beware of this man. Continue reading
These lyrics from Casting Crowns’ “Does Anyone Hear Her” tells the story of so many of our young people today. And many of us adults can understand because we have been there. God is the Key to everything that we go through. I just pray that you teens and young adults realize He is there for you sooner than many of us older ones have.
“Does Anybody Hear Her”
