Ma bai laga e Isla kaminda ma nanse I ku mi tabata stima asina tantu, ku hopi rabia I duele. Mi a bai ku mi yunan ku deseo pa no regresá mas. Pero e Dios di Abraham Isaac I Jacob a sòru na su manera pa mi regresá I pa mi restourashon kuminsá na kas, na Kòrsou….! Komo víktima ta normal ku bo ta skonde pa bo agresor, pero ami no por a skonde. Mi no tabata ke pa niun hende sa ku ma yega di eksistí, pero mi tabata wòrdu kòrda! Mi tabata sinti mi bon, naturalmente no perfekto pero ku balor propio, pero ma pèrdè mi outo-estima. Ma hasta pèrdè deseo pa biba. Den diferente kombersashon ku Dios ma puntra, pakiko mi mester sigui biba??? Mi Preguntanan…… Lo mi lo a kasa? Lo mi a haña yu? Lo mi a soportá abusu asina largu, òf lo mi a sali for di e situashon mas lihé? Lo mi a skohe pa papia òf pa keda ketu?

Isaias 40:31 https://www.journeytotheoasis.com/my-island daily 0.75 2025-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f198811b8ff0d440ad35c7e/1595856861251-4MB4K6D786TE4KAMIMHM/1.jpg My Island - From victim to survivor. Leaving Curacao, the island where I was born and raised, was the hardest decision of my life. I left with my children, carrying deep pain and anger, never wanting to return. But the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob brought me back to the very place where my restoration would begin. As a victim, I wanted to disappear. My self-esteem was shattered, and at times I even questioned if life was worth living. I wrestled with God, asking: Would I have chosen marriage or singleness? Would I have had children? Would I have endured abuse for so long or left sooner? Would I have spoken out or stayed silent? The phrase “if the soil itself could speak” became the key to my healing. It began for me on November 25, 2015, during the UN campaign against violence toward women, leading up to December 10, Human Rights Day. It was also a saying my late grandmother used to tell my mother. Even if a part of it is missing, for me, this piece was enough https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f198811b8ff0d440ad35c7e/bf5b9eb5-8ff1-461e-8a14-a63bf5e1558f/image-asset.jpg https://www.journeytotheoasis.com/store daily 0.75 2024-10-06
