About La Valentía
Be Strong and Courageous
Everyday we as women are attacked on all fronts: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It requires strength to push through the obstacles of our lives, but we don't have to do it alone. In my darkest times it was God and other courageous women who helped me survive. Now, I share my own battles so that you too can see your life holds greater meaning than you ever imagined. My hope is that you throw off the shackles of fear and with courage step into the life you were meant to live.
Stronger Together
When I first separated from my now ex-husband, I found it incredibly difficult to find resources from a female Christian perspective concerning domestic violence and divorce. I received mixed messages from church counselors, pastors, books, and the internet. Most of the advice I was receiving was not from the point of view of a women who had actually experienced abuse. When I started attending a domestic violence support group at a local church it was such a relief to know I was not the only Christian women whose relationship was falling apart and experiencing this pain. Many women may not have access to a local support group. I decided to create this blog to provide a place for women going through similar struggles to connect. My desire for you is peace, safety, healing, and love. Please know you are not alone.
