POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Love should never hurt.
I’m a survivor. It’s not a story I tell very often at all because it’s not something I want to relive. Domestic abuse is NOT okay. Not physically or emotionally, yet every week I hear from a friend, client or colleague that is in it, or has been.

Most people don’t know I was married before and I’m not going to give weight to who he was because it doesn’t matter. I’ve forgiven him.

October is domestic violence month and it’s real….and if anyone can be moved to open their purse for change, it’s worth it.

Thank you to my patient and loving husband who stood by my side as my protector and guardian through this before and even now. He got a glimpse of the abuse and his family helped me get out of it. I’ll be eternally grateful to the people at the women’s shelter that I sought refuge and the people that run it here locally.

This is for the people that are survivors, the ones currently in abuse and those we’ve lost. I see you.

While my story is deeply personal, it is also part of a much larger reality. Every year in the United States, more than 10 million people experience domestic violence…that’s nearly 20 people every minute. One in three women and one in four men will face physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime, and countless others endure emotional, financial, or psychological abuse that leaves scars just as deep.

Behind every statistic is a face, a family, and a future at risk. When we raise awareness, support survivors, and work together to break cycles of abuse, we are not only saving lives, we are building stronger, safer communities for generations to come.

Someone somewhere, maybe even in your friends list, or in your neighborhood, or sitting quietly at your church, there is a woman hiding under her own scarf and the hats. A woman who is covering the bruises. Someone who is dying inside from shame.

And she needs you to see her.
To ask.
To reach in.
To be the lifeline.

Because shame silences.
But love frees.

Love shouldn’t hurt.

💅🏻🔥 Covered by grace, armed with the Word, a regulated nervous system, and boundaries that don’t require a 12-paragraph explanation.

She can love you like Jesus, pray for you like a warrior, and still tell you NO without her nervous system throwing a whole temper tantrum. 😂

Because being Christlike doesn’t mean being a doormat. Being kind doesn’t mean being available to everyone. And having peace doesn’t mean you stopped having a backbone.

Soft heart. Strong spine. Sound mind.

Ephesians 6:10–18 meets 2 Timothy 1:7.

Now THAT’S a whole different kind of dangerous. 💙🔥 by @marliesledbetter

Many years ago, I made a commitment to a man who, at the time, felt like an angel sent into my life. I was coming out of a very difficult and abusive relationship, living in a town that wasn’t home, carrying wounds that had shaped so much of who I was.

He met me with friendship, respect, laughter, and strong family values. There was something safe and steady about him that I hadn’t experienced in a very long time.

Within our first two weeks dating, we were engaged secretly. Then married. And somehow, here we are, TWO DECADES later. We’ve raised a daughter, navigated some incredibly difficult seasons, rediscovered Jesus together, and worked through wounds that neither of us even realized we had brought into our marriage.

It hasn’t been easy. Marriage is so much more than finding someone you love. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve misunderstood each other. We’ve had seasons when loving each other required a whole lot more intention than emotion.

A strong marriage doesn’t just happen because two people love each other. It takes WORK. It takes humility to recognize where you’re wrong. It takes discipline to change the patterns that aren’t serving your relationship. It takes learning how to communicate, how to forgive, and how to keep choosing each other. And it takes recognizing that you’re not two people fighting against each other. You’re two people learning how to fight FOR something together.

I don’t take it lightly that I get to call my husband my best friend. I’m incredibly grateful for the man Jeff has become, the way he’s loved our family, and the way he’s challenged me to grow into a better woman and wife.

Because here’s something nobody really tells you about marriage…The person you marry at the beginning isn’t going to be exactly the same person twenty years later.

And neither are you. The beauty is learning how to keep falling in love with the people you’re becoming. My prayer is that God continues to mold us, strengthen our marriage, and use our lives together for the good of His Kingdom.

Twenty years later, I’d still choose you, Jeff.
Not because we’ve had a perfect marriage, but because we’ve kept choosing to build one together. ❤️ by @marliesledbetter

Shame convinces you that YOU are the problem.

Some of you have spent YEARS punishing yourselves for something that happened in a moment.

And somewhere along the way, you stopped seeing it as something you experienced or something you did… and started believing it was WHO YOU ARE.

That’s shame.

And shame doesn’t produce healthy change. It keeps you hiding, disconnected, and repeating the same story about yourself.

Accountability is necessary. Self-condemnation isn’t.

You can acknowledge the damage, take responsibility, make repairs, and STILL refuse to define yourself by your worst moments.

You are allowed to grow beyond the version of yourself you’re ashamed of.

Save this for the next time shame tries to tell you who you are.

Shame has a nasty habit of making us feel like we aren't enough. And there are many types of shame that need to be highlighted, because some of us have brought it into our personality or identity when it really needs to be felt, released and healed. How we do that takes time.. But know that you don't have to carry it alone.

Which one do you feel like relates to you?
And the bigger question is.... can you be open to exploring how to shift it? by @marliesledbetter
