Variations Across the United States

When you look through your cabinets, you might see boxes of macaroni and cheese, cans of corn, boxes of cereal and various other items, but then, look again in two weeks.

There are variations going on across the United States regarding domestic violence. Each state definitely deals with an absurd amount of calls, may not have enough resources to accommodate a specific request, but, I can tell you, according to research found on places like the Department of Justice or the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, law enforcement is working diligently on your side.

Unfortunately, Oklahoma is ranked third in the national regarding offenders in domestic violence no-no's. That's ugly.

Mississippi is very serious about conquering the issue, Do Not mess with them.

New Hampshire, more than half the women in the state have experienced some form of dv (domestic violence)- can you say 'absurd'!

So one must ask, what is it? Is it the weather? Non-employment? Race? That question is yet to be answered. People out there just need to quit getting so cranky about stupid stuff. Course, it's more than just getting a little cranky over one thing one time. It's multiple times of heated crankiness and more.

Flipping the coin to the other side, let's focus on justice and empowering the women from the domestic violence.

She needs to make choices. Be decisive in decision making. She can certainly get to that point, she just needs to be encouraged. So, what does encouragement look like in your state for these ladies?

Remember, there are plenty of church groups out there, just research them and find out what church is best for you. As it says in scripture, there is no 'perfect' church. But, I can tell you that there are good churches out there, start seeing what will work for you. A good bible based church is very helpful. This is one area you can begin to learn about the decision making process.

 I encourage you ladies out there. Once you start making your own decisions about different things, whether they are about groceries, what to have for dinner, what kind of schedule to make for yourselves, and so forth, you will begin to see a difference in your confidence too.

 You are a person that counts in this world and work on behalf of your children (if you have children). If you do not have children, you have to think for yourself. Be kind to yourself and love who you are.
