THE SECRET PLACE

Do you have a place that you go to in your house/apartment that allows you to escape the realities of this world? For me, I built a small alter (actually it was the stand from a bird cage I had)neverthless,that had candles, the Bible and incense on it. Now that might sound like a bit much, but that secret place got me through the toughest years of my life.

At the time, my husband and kids thought it was just another item of decor in the house. But I used that alter in the midnight hours or right before everybody got up and just PRAYED! I would cry out to God, whatever was on my heart.

So I submit this suggestion to you: Find a quiet and secret place wherever you dwell and talk to God.....He would love to hear from you...LOL

Domestic Violence takes a toil on your most inner thoughts whether you recognize it or not. You will be amazed at how your life will change once you implement: prayer and speaking positive words about yourself into your future. No one else can have a relationship with your God better than YOU! Go into that secret place and release the veil of hurt and painful thoughts and feelings unto the Lord. Whose better qualified to be a great listener and a even greater friend that will help you in this difficult situation? Came up with an answer yet? I'll help you with this one: GOD!!! God, is the ONLY one that can give you beauty from the ashes that domestic violence has caused in your life. Take the much needed time to embrace who you are and your relationship with God will grow daily.

Other items you can bring to the secret place of your chose are:

JournalsDevotional Books
Small CD player or iPod stand/radio
BlanketSmall pillow (for extra cushion on floor settings)

Those are just a few items that you can consider but most importantly, make sure you bring YOURSELF, wholeheartedly and available to hear what thus saith the Lord, in the secret place.
