While talking with a friend about a speech she had me to review that she was delivering concerning the type of work that she does, insight about the type of relationship I experienced with Mr Wonderful was revealed to me. See, she’s a Victim Assistance Coordinator and I told her to include a story in the speech that would help the listeners better understand her role. As she was telling me the story she would use, all I could see was me as the victim and Mr Wonderful as the suspect.
I teared up as she was speaking and when she completed her story, I told her my thoughts. She’s a reader of my blog so she was familiar with the blog post. However, she didn’t know any detail, other than what I posted. As we talked, she explained the methods which the aggressor would use to manipulate the victim. In that relationship, I experienced all of the “warning signs” that she was taught to be aware of when dealing with people in domestic violence relationships.
As I began to process the path that led me to being delivered from the mindset that I wanted Mr Wonderful to no longer be alive, I realized that had God not intervened, I could have been like the victim in her story; deceased. Or like the suspect; in jail. She made the comment that God knew that He would use my gifting to reach people for the Kingdom. I agreed.
I pondered if I should create this post as a regular blog or whether to post it under Journey To Us. I decided on the latter because of the way God has been leading me toward you. And today I saw what I consider to be the final revelation I needed in order to move forward in our relationship: I’m prepared to Love again.
