Last year I was in the grocery store, of all places, and bought a little book called Joy for a Woman’s Soul. I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed it, in fact bought 5 more to share with daughter and friends. I love the nuggets of wisdom and feel like all the ladies who contributed are old friends. Thank you, and I am on my 3rd time reading it. God bless you all. Please share this with the other ladies. Blessings, Karen
Yesterday May 21st you commented on the fact that Christian Counseling was important to a Christian. Unfortunately, as a victim of a violent crime against me I DID contact my church first, a large church of more than 3000 members – the church staff did not respond to me, he listened to my story – gave me one scripture – did not even tell me where it was and said they had “anxiety classes” I could attend. I had to turn to the Victims Advocate of our County and they and Counseling that I have been receiving, helped me to write the victim impact statement for the court and the Judge of the Court so the perpetrator could face his consequences. The church needs to learn to deal with helping women who have been a victim of a violent crime. The church says “you have Jesus – you are fine” – sorry..that does not help me. I am trying to get better but post traumatic stress disorder is REAL!
