What is the purpose of an anchor? Anchors are used to keep a vessel in place. They are used to keep the vessel steady and to fight against strong winds and currents that want to move the vessel off course. When you are living through your journey in life, there will be times when you will be thrown off course. This book is an opportunity for you as God's vessel to discover the true meaning, on how God, as my Anchor had kept me focused and dedicated through some of the most turbulent times in my life. Even when it felt like God was not there, he was. This is my story of how I spent 25 years in an abusive relationship and how my children and I have escaped, and finally got out through being divinely guided and protected at all times. This is my story of how I fought, through prayer and courage to get out and free myself from a destructive soul tie and how I managed to find peace in the middle of a raging storm of fear .This is the journey of how I believed, without yet seeing, that God will take me to the other side of pain, hurt and destruction, to the place of peace and to an overflow of his wonderful promises. Find the peace you need and the courage to make the right choices as I share my story on how I persevered, as a dedicated mother and faithful wife in a storm that at times seemed to not cease.
