Hi, I'm Sonja Alexandra

and first of all I would like to say that you are not alone with your challenges. There was a time in my life when I almost didn't know what was right or wrong anymore -

until I realized that not all people on this earth actually mean well for you and I stopped being "naive".

"God, give me the serenity to accept

things that I cannot change,

the courage to change things that I can change,

and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other."

(Reinhold Niebuhr)

I lived in one of many toxic relationships with a partner who beat me, both with words and actually.

I know what it's like to be spat at, pulled by the hair or even kicked.

I know what it's like to be cheated on and to believe for years that I was the only woman at my partner's side.

I know what it's like to have tried different, modern relationship models and to have failed.

I know what it's like to look in the mirror and only see your partner's ideal figure.

I know what it's like to die and be brought back to life by Jesus Christ.

I know what it's like to lose yourself completely.

In other words: I've been through hell several times

and the one thing I truly know now is that we were all born sinners, live as sinners and die as sinners.

Because Jesus Christ is the only man and God who can save us and show this human race how the kingdom of heaven can come into being on earth.

That is why I would like to encourage you today. Have the bravery. No matter where you are and take the first step
