The Sheepfold

Leaving my husband of 15 years and the father of our son. It was a long time coming and I knew it was not going to be easy. I knew I had to start thinking clearly about my husband and about my situation. No more lying to myself and no more excuses about who he really was. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that my husband has chosen darkness over light. The man I fell in love with doesn’t exist anymore, and that pains me so much.

Although I was never physically beaten or abused by my husband, all of my scares are on my heart and mind. I was emotionally dead. I couldn’t even show emotion to my son. He did not know happiness, excitement or even sadness. I know my face was expressionless most of the time. I knew the Lord during this time, but I never walked fully in the power and strength of the Lord. The enemy had me blinded by my own sorrow and pain.

The time had come. It was time for me to leave my husband and start a new life for me and my son. I didn’t want the enemy to have power in my life anymore. I was given the number to the Sheepfold and gave them a call. That phone call changed our lives forever. I have rededicated my life to Jesus since coming to the Sheepfold, and am now walking in the power of the Lord. My son laughs so much now, it truly makes me cry. I’m grateful for the Sheepfold and all they have given us, not only meeting our physical needs, but our emotional and spiritual needs as well.

Thank you Sheepfold for all you have done for us! Blessings , Shauna, Sheepfold mom

I am so grateful for the help that the Sheepfold has given me and my mom. When we left my dad we had no where to go and no money, the Sheepfold took us in and gave us a place to stay. They gave us food and my gave me school supplies. I’m proud of my mom for leaving my abusive dad, and thank the Lord for the Sheepfold. I have come to know the Lord here and look forward to the Bible studies. I’m not sure what is next for my mom and me, but I know the Lord will show us what to do and that He will keep us safe. Thank you Sheepfold for everything. – Layla, Sheepfold Little Lamb
