2 Great #YouTube Videos and a Weekend #Linky

Welcome to my weekend blog hop -

Make My Saturday Sweet #148!

My blog is best viewed in Google Chrome.

I've shared a few times about the English Language School (ELS) at YWAM, Worcester, South Africa. I enjoy teaching there and meeting students from around the world. Today I'm sharing a video testimony of one of the previous ELS students, Simone. Part of it was filmed on our street and at our neighbor's house and it ends off at YWAM and the ELS where I teach. She's from Brazil and a survivor of abuse.

This second video is of a superb performance by two young kids singing, "You Raise Me Up." I showed it to Amanda and she was in awe, like me.

Wow, what a powerful testimony and song performance! Between the two you had me teary. ;P

So thankful that God brought Simone out of such an awful situation, and used your organization so powerfully in her life!

I dont even like to think about abuse, I and my kids experienced verbal and some physical abuse 30 years ago, I feel so for those that have experienced abuse in their life, be it verbal or physical.

Hope your have a great day!

Thankfully she didn't have kids and she finally had the courage to get away. I always believe that a mom and her kids should never have to live through that and I get so upset when some Christians (including pastors) think that marriage is more important than safety from physical or verbal abuse. Hopefully you have healed enough to encourage others to be strong and find help. I will pray for you tonight, because I know that even if it was 30 years ago, these hurts can run deep. Take care and God bless!

There are lots of kinds of abuse, and I had to contend with some levels of abuse in my famiy growing up. I was very happy to eventually be able to leave when I grew up, and married a very sweet man who never loses his temper. It is good the woman in the story could escape. I love the song the children were singing, they are such good performers.

Thanks Hannah (Nancy)! I just saw your comment to me on Pinterest and this one here on my blog. It's always great connecting in different ways. I try to make good use of social media for that purpose. If Pinterest and other platforms aren't your thing, that's perfectly fine. You are still welcome to link up anytime! Also, I'm so glad you got away from the abuse at home and found a sweet husband to marry!
