Unexpected Turns #11: Renee's Story

Laura's conversation begins with Renee's story of leaving her life behind in the United States to live on a Caribbean island in her late 20's. Renee's dream of island life unfolds with a new place to live, adopting a dog, and meeting a boyfriend. As her boyfriend becomes more violent, Renee faces the reality that this chapter of her story is not turning out the way she imagined. Renee recounts how God rescued her and her dog from harm. The woo-ing heart of God is displayed in a powerful way through Renee's story. Laura and Renee talk about women in abusive relationships, how to respond when in an abusive relationship, and how to support someone who you suspect is being abused. A desire to escape into different circumstances can be a temptation to live independent of God's plan which can unfold in unexpected difficulty and suffering.
