As many of you may know October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. It is also the month that domestic abuse personally affected my family. This month is a big reminder how domestic abuse can affect ANYONE and it really hits home for my family and me.
I was humbled when months ago I was asked to be a guest speaker at Redeeming Love Church's event, One Night Only. This was an event created to bring all types of people to unite against one social issue. This was the first One Night Only and it was all about domestic abuse. I saw this as the best way to kick off such an important month; by sharing my sister's story and how domestic abuse can affect families and loved ones around them.
This was such a powerful and unifying night led by the inspiring Pastor Renee. It was wonderful to see Julia from the Dwelling Place again and the others who came to unite. I was honored to share the stage with such strong individuals and I found it very moving to hear all of their stories. Even if we only changed/ saved one life it is completely worth it. Thank you Redeeming Love Church for opening up your hearts and minds so that we could all make a peaceful and positive change together.
Until next time,
Samantha Phillippi
