Bold, Brave, & Unashamed

God has laid it on my heart to start writing again and so after praying about it, I’m starting a new Blog with a New Name (that the Lord spoke to me directly) and I will be creating a new page on Facebook to follow as well.
So Stay Tuned!
I will still use this Page for any more Ex Jehovahs Witness videos or blogs but the new page will be more for my personal blog and the many lessons the Lord has been teaching me.
…So Stay Tuned!

New Wallpaper Alert!!!
You matter! Your existence matters! Your words matter! Your actions matter! You might feel alone, but you’re not. In your darkest moment, God still loves you and is there with you. I know it may feel like it while you’re struggling, but believe me the Author of your story isn’t done writing about you! So stand firm and keep going…Cry out to Him, he will hold you close…

A few days ago I celebrated my 30th Birthday!
When I think about that realization, it makes me want to cry and I have several times in the weeks leading up to that day. Not out of sadness or anger over getting to this age, but out of the joy I feel to be able to get to this day. I’ll explain: you see, I never thought that I would ever make to the age of 30. For many years, I was crippled by pain both emotionally and physically. I had IBS and drs couldn’t help me besides prescribing pain pills (which I refused to take) and I was sick and in physical pain every single day for many years. I also was suffering from severe ptsd after being molested multiple times as a child, being abandoned my parents at a crucial time in my life, & then being r***d at the age of 25. I was depressed, anxious, and suicidal. I was lost in more ways than one and had a defeated attitude about everything in my life. I became so numb from the pain that I ended up taking it out on everyone who tried to reject me and as a result, I became a master manipulator with a vindictive spirit who used s*x as a weapon, self harming to cope, and people as pawns. I will that the previously stated are the things I regret the most because I hurt many people but hurt myself the most. Anyway, I say that to say that I didn’t think I would make it to this age because I was certain that either I would die from being so sick or that I would decide it was all too unbearable that it was better if I ended my own life. In the spirit of transparency, I did actually try to end my life a total of 4 times but I guess God had different plans. I remember being so angry at God for not letting me just die but looking back now, I’m so grateful that he didn’t and that’s why making it to this age makes me want to just cry. If you told me years ago that I would become the woman I am today, I would’ve laughed and rejected the very idea that I could ever become that woman. But by the grace of God, here I am. That broken girl found help and let God heal the many broken pieces within her. It was rough and felt impossible at times but it was necessary and worth it. I learned to love myself as I fell in love with Jesus. Today, I’m no longer vindictive, manipulative, suicidal, self-harming, or defeated. I see the world and myself through a new lens. The girl who hated herself for many years, now loves herself and is proud of who she is for the first time in her life. I have learned where my true identity comes from and knowing that makes me confident to say that I will never try to hurt myself or end my life again. The girl who never felt useful in the world now knows she is called by God to be a leader within the body of Christ and help others find their true identity in Christ. I feel God has called me for more than just surviving or going through the motions. He’s called to be honest & transparent, to lead, to encourage, to be bold in my walk, brave in any circumstance, and unashamed of my story and to share it proudly with others. And I know that His will for my life will surely come to pass especially at the age of 30. So stay tuned everyone because the Lord is raising up a Phoenix spirit within me to be a trailblazer for his kingdom and I can’t wait to share that journey with you all. Thanks to everyone for reading this, encouraging me, and for all the birthday wishes in advance.
So here’s to 30! 😁 ::09/29/2021::

When the enemy brings up your past, rebuke that in the name of Jesus. He will use those closest to you and anything to knock you off of the path you’re on with God. Remember his whole purpose is to steal, kill, destroy. His tactics may seem powerful or almost impossible to withstand but remember who you are and whose you are. You have an army behind you so the next time he brings up your past, look him dead in the face and laugh because you no longer live in that past so he has no power when you have the power of Christ within and around you.

This really spoke to me so had to share!

One of the leaders from my church group shared this activity and although it might seem girly, I think its so powerful and applies to anyone has struggled with trauma or thinking God can't use you because of your past, etc:
"We are gracefully broken. Let's do this... take a few minutes while worship music plays...
Find a crayon and think of triggers, hurts, betrayals. The things that caused the greatest impacts in your life. For each one break the 🖍till you can't break it no more. When you're done breaking it take the smallest piece. Now with that small piece take a blank piece of paper and write your name with it...
Just as you can use the broken crayon, receive the revelation that God can use your brokenness for his Glory. Because his love and grace has set us free. We are forgiven. We are redeemed. We are loved."
🥰😇

So as some of you may have noticed, I’ve been pretty MIA on here and there’s a reason for that. After my last video, some unforeseen circumstances came my way and I realized that I wasn’t being honest with myself and other people. I was putting on this brave face and acting like I had it all put together and figured out when that wasn’t the case. God has been yelling at me to address certain things in my past and I’ve been too scared to go there so I just stuffed it out and ignored it. But one day it all came out and I realized I wasn’t ok and I needed some more healing to do. I decided that I needed to take a break from YouTube and focus on this next chapter of healing with God that I need to do. So you won’t be seeing any new YouTube videos anytime soon, but I’m trying to write in my blog more and even created a Tik Tok to post brief encouraging videos for people. So go follow me on IG and TikTok

I’m so glad God stopped my attempts for put a period at the end of my sentence and gave me a semi colon instead!
Never be ashamed of the darkness in your past. It strengthened you and people need to hear your story. Who knows? You might save a life.

Sharing a vulnerable moment with you guys to show you that you don’t always have to be strong and be all put together. Some days are hard, stressful, and draining. Some days you won’t want to smile but instead you’ll want to cry. That’s okay!
That’s how I felt today and decided to take this picture to remind myself that it’s ok for me to be human and to admit that sometimes life gets to me. There’s strength in admitting that and that sometimes I just need to cry it out in my car, let the tears flow however they want and then when I’m done, I can wipe those tears away, pick myself back up (with Gods help always) and carry on.

In this Video, I speak briefly on the topic of having a grateful and thankful spirit and why it's so important for us (especially as believers) to live this way. I share several bible verses on this that the Lord placed on my heart this week.
The Bible Chapters and Verses I specifically spoke on were:
Philippians 4
Psalms 106:1
Psalms 107:1
Philippians 4:6
Isaiah 54
1 Thessalonians 5:18...If you liked this video, please be sure to follow the link below to like, share, and Subscribe to my YouTube Channel. Also, be sure to follow me on my social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram .
