A woman burned by her abusive husband has found refuge, freedom, healing, and true love in Jesus Christ.
Loving wife & mother
Katie’s first two years of being married to her husband were happy; including life with their two daughters. However, her husband suddenly changed and became violent. He started beating her up in front of their children and even stabbed her one time. Because his apologies seem so sincere, Katie forgave him.
One day, after an argument that turned violent, Katie left their house with her children. She got a restraining order but that didn’t stop him from calling her and threatening her. He eventually found out where she and her daughters were hiding. Katie’s husband came to their house and right before she escaped, he threw a heater at her.

Abusive husband
She caught on fire and was in a coma for two weeks after suffering several burns.
“I had second to third-degree burns. The more my skin healed, the more it hurts. I got burns on my head, my face, my hands, my stomach, and my thighs. The pain was unbearable.”
After three months, her daughters saw her for the first time and cried seeing their mom’s condition. Katie asked the Lord, “Why Lord me?” She felt lost, depressed and thought that no one will ever love her because of her looks. But everything changed during a woman’s conference in their local church.
True love
Katie gave her life to Jesus Christ and found the freedom, healing, and true love that she has been longing for.
“At that moment, God gave me the joy and the love that I always longed for. I could see myself through God’s eyes, the feeling was overwhelming, and I felt like a new person. I didn’t even expect to feel like that,” she recalled.
After being born again, she chose to visit her ex-husband in prison and forgave him. It seems like a burden was lifted off of her after she released forgiveness. Today, 14 years after that terrible incident, she now living joyfully with her children and grandchildren.
“Now, I love myself. Who I am my worth is rooted in Christ. I’m a living testimony that His love never fails.”
