Hello?

It has taken almost Dying...              From my M.S....         and from Escaping Alive from 
Marriage...            and the Marine Corps first helping me escape my Abusive and 
Lifethreating X-Husband...            To the Marine Corps for after finding him Guilty of those 
many, many, many things...                      They gave him 10 years of the 17 year sentance 
and let him Win an Appeal...        
and put him back in the Marine Corps and Erased his past...                  and told me...
Just two months after that had happened...                 All I can say is I have to believe that 
even after all the choices some Great...       and Not so great...          The only one who truly 
has my back...        Is God!
So even though at times we all believe that we should be afraid....            Don't bother...
Because He will take care of things...                     I know it has taken almost dying...
From a horrible person...             To a horrible illness...                    For me to see it...
It has felt like He has had to knock me on my behind to say,  "Hello?"     
"Wake up and see the way to change yourself"...            "and ways you Do, See, and 
Change Actions..."           "You have made it through the things that you thought you were 
alone..."
"But near the end you saw I was standing right next to you"
