I have come to the conclusion that it is ok to want to have a complete makeover. I mean physically, mentally and spiritually. Especially after you have left a domestic violence relationship. For so many years I was so insecure about my looks, my intelligence and even my relationship with God. One of the tactics that an abuser uses is to make you feel worthless by attacking you little by little until BAM - you no longer recognize the person you once were.
I use to pride myself as being so strong and so independent. A woman who can do all - yes I was faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and could leap tall buildings in a single bound. I was SUPERWOMAN and than the song came out by Karyn White, "I'm not your superwoman". It gave a whole new definition to what a superwoman was. In a way I feel that the song defined what a superwoman was by stating that she was not. Yes, we are not super beings; however, we are not doormats either. I was living a lie and believing that I needed to do more in order to make the relationship work. I thought that was part of being a superwoman. I would do everything in my power to make him happy, but how many people know a donkey is a donkey (using a term that is more accepting than what I really want to say) no matter how you dress it. Karyn White in her song says: "I've got my pride, I will not cry, still I can't help but care - I'm not your superwoman. But she was a woman with worth and recognized she was not going to be used or put up with the indifference any longer. To me that is a Superwoman.
Yes, after I realized that I was not a superwoman who was faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and could leap tall buildings in a single bound; but a child of God who was a survivor. It was time for a makeover. Physically, I was able to leave the relationship; mentally, I realized that I was a person of value and was put here on earth for a purpose; spiritually, I recognized that God never left nor forsake me. I recognized that I did make some bad choices, but God used those choices to show His glory in my triumphant victory of loosing the binds that kept me in an abusive relationship. I AM YOUR SUPERWOMAN that was made over!
Today I recognize the complete makeover that occurred in my life. One of my favorite scriptures is :Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning". Yes I am full of joy and I want you to know that you also can have joy. Is it time for you to have a complete makeover, to become that Superwoman!
