I AM A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVOR
My name is A'Keta Vasser and I am a SURVIVOR of domestic violence. When I was in my early 20s I was in a relationship with someone who said they loved me and I really did believe him until one day he fought {yes I said fought} me because I said something smart to him. I can't remember much from the altercation except me begging for him to stop and once he did he quickly began to apologize and beg for my forgiveness. Yes.....I forgave him and a few months later he did the exact same thing. I am able to tell my story today because I finally got enough strength to walk away.
I hid this ugly secret for years only telling a few people because I was ashamed not that it happened to me but because I continued to stay after it happened. I have always thought of myself as strong but the fact that I stayed was and continues to be my biggest regret in life.
Over the years I have cried and prayed a lot about my abuse and to be honest I am still healing from it but I know that GOD is working everything out for my good. So today I am coming from behind the shadows of embarrassment because I want to help the next victim know that the abuse was not your fault and if you are in an abusive relationship you can and should walk away! I DID!
Isaiah 61:3 To all who mourn in Israel, HE will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for HIS own glory.
If you or someone you know is in a domestic violence relationship SPEAK UP! Call 1-800-799-7233 or email me {iam@hisblessedone.com} and I would love to pray for you and with you.
Love You!

My First Breast Cancer Awareness Walk/Run
Earlier this month one of my closest friends asked if I would join her in Columbia, SC for the Palmetto Walk for Life/Race for Life in honor of her mother and of course I quickly said yes! I had never walked/ran for Breast Cancer before and I was humbled to join her and I had THE perfect shirt! On Saturday, October 18th I woke up very early to get ready for the race because I knew there would be a huge crowd downtown but I was not prepared for 11,000 people. As I walked up to the park where the race was going to start I saw people with others tshirts on in honor or in memory of a loved one and I silently said a prayer for them and their family. Every step I took on the 3.1 mile walk I saw people smile, laugh and have a good time for this great cause.
This month has defiantly made me more aware of Breast Cancer and the importance of a mammogram (I had my first one earlier this year at 37) and early detection. You can even create a free Early Detection Plan at www.earlydetectionplan.org.
Also in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month HISBlessedOne is donating the proceeds from the I Am Blessed Tshirt ( the one I had on during the Walk for Life) will go to BoldandBreastless, Inc. The money will help fund seminars held to promote breast cancer awareness, to educate and motivate all women, to include breast cancer patients and breast cancer survivors, assist with participation in health fairs, purchase care packages for cancer patients and cancer survivors to include children affected by cancer, and to provide care packages to family members of hospice patients.
Many Blessings
