I showed up, I spoke the truth, and I left it there.

No overthinking, no rehearsing — because the truth doesn’t change.

Now I’m choosing peace.

Everything else is in God’s hands.

Praying that everyone involved is protected, healed, and guided the right way. 🤍 #DVcase #Court #DomesticViolence

4/24 Edited to

... Read moreSharing a personal experience like this takes immense courage, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as domestic violence and court proceedings. Speaking the truth without overthinking reflects a powerful inner strength and commitment to honesty, which can be both emotionally exhausting and liberating. It’s understandable that reliving traumatic experiences and answering challenging questions during a court case can be frustrating. Often, individuals must face what feels like nitpicking and feel the weight of proving their stories repeatedly. This process, while necessary for legal validation, can strain emotional well-being. An important aspect of healing through such situations is embracing peace and trusting a higher power or the natural course of justice. This act of letting go, however difficult, can provide a sense of relief once you’ve done your part by telling your story truthfully. Protection and healing for everyone involved, including the survivor, family members, and even those accused, are crucial. Many people affected by domestic violence need more than just legal intervention—they require support such as anger management, substance abuse rehabilitation, and emotional counseling to truly recover and prevent recurrences. From my perspective, helping people seek the right assistance rather than solely focusing on punishment creates a path for rehabilitation and societal safety. Denial and resistance to seeking help are common but addressing these issues compassionately contributes to long-term stability. In conclusion, sharing your truth publicly not only helps your own healing journey but can raise awareness and encourage others in similar situations to find the courage to come forward and seek peace and justice.

There’s a part of the Jesus in the wilderness story that doesn’t get talked about enough. The enemy didn’t show up when Jesus was weak in faith. He showed up when Jesus was tired. Hungry. Alone. And Jesus didn’t panic. He didn’t explain himself. He didn’t negotiate. He spoke the Word.

History didn’t carve her name into stone. But babies took their first breath because she showed up. And whole communities slept easier because they trusted her. In the late 1800s, there was a woman known simply as Mrs. F. Lathers. No grand biography. No official records praising her work.
