Word of the Day/ Definition: Kryptonite – Something that can seriously weaken or harm a particular person or thing. Stats: joinonelove.com Over 1 in 3 women/ men will be in an abusive relationship. And only 33% of teen who were in an abusive relationship ever told anyone about the abuse. According to Christian licensed social worker and relationship coach Leslie Vernick, “I receive frantic emails and calls from Christian women (and men) who feel scared. They feel trapped hopeless, and helpless because their most intimate relationship is abusive. They are suffering from abuse verbally, physically, economically, spiritually, sexually or all the above.… 5 Guidelines to remember; 1. It is good to protect yourself from violent people. 2. It is good to expose the abuser. 3. It is good not to allow someone to continue to sin against you. 4. It is good to stop enabling and to let the violent person experience the consequences of his/or her sinful behavior. 5. It is good to wait and see the fruits of repentance before initiating reconciliation.” Scripture: Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” Bio: Raphael Biotton started his restaurant businesses as early as 1990.
