might help someone so that you don't run into evil just as I have. Listen to the signs from God and don't let the material things interfere with your trust and faith in God. Don't accept the mental and physical abuse because you want the money, clothes, cars, and jewelry, etc. Love yourself enough to know you're worth more than materialistic items. Pay attention to the possessiveness: (1) popping up at your job (2) calling your phone all day back-to-back (3) texting you all day. I thought it was cute when he did these things. But please don't make the same mistake I did. It's not cute and its just another way he's being possessive. You are your own person and you have your own mind. You have to be strong. If not for you, then for your children. Educate yourself. Knowledge is something nobody can take from you. My outlook on life is that I'll be a nurse helping people just as I've been helped. Inspiring and motivating people because I know what it's like being a patient lying in that bed thinking it’s the end of the world. But it's not. Get involved into a church where you are comfortable. Read your bible so you can understand God and build your trust and faith in him. Everyone has a purpose and calling in life. I know my purpose was to help others and my calling is to be a nurse. As long as you are breathing and you have breath in your body, you're here to fulfill God's will. Stay blessed, Shelly Nelson
