Let me say this first…This is not for you to feel bad for me.....I don’t feel bad for myself. This is for you to be encouraged. Because the truth is… Life did not hand me the easiest start. I remember having a mother who was sick… Me and my sister just going from house to house. I remember being touched inappropriately. I remember losing my mom at 8 years old. I remember being placed in situations that no child should ever have to navigate. By 13… I was in a sexual relationship with a family member that lasted for years. I’ve had an abortion. I know what it feels like to be on the street trying to make money just to feed my child. I know what it feels like to have a father for your child that doesn’t want to be there. I know what it feels like to think you finally figured love out… only to realize you married a narcissist. I know pain!!!Not the surface kind. The kind that sits in your chest. The kind that rewires how you think. The kind that follows you into adulthood. So when I talk about mental health… I’m not talking from a book. I’m talking from experience. But here’s the part that matters.I had a choice. Not just as a parent… But as a person. I could stay in the place life tried to leave me in… Or I could rise.And that’s the part people don’t always talk about. Yes, feel it!!! Yes, acknowledge it!!! But do NOT stay there. Because you are not just what happened to you. The Word says in 1 John 4:4: “Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.” In Romans 8:37: “We are more than conquerors…” In Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper…” In 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation…” In Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” So yeah… I went through it. I had to get it out the mud. And if you don’t know what that means… it means starting from nothing, figuring life out the hard way, surviving things that should’ve broken you, and STILL finding a way to stand And here’s what I learned:

Drop your prayer request below.. Remember the prayer wall is always open

When You Feel Overwhelmed Father, slow my mind and steady my heart. When everything feels loud and heavy, remind me that You are not rushing and neither should I. Give me grace for today not next month, not next year just today. When the Kids Are Testing You Lord, help me respond from wisdom, not from wounds. Teach me how to correct without crushing, to lead without yelling, and to discipline with clarity. Let my authority reflect Your heart. When Money Feels Tight God, You are my Provider. When fear tries to whisper lack, remind me that You have already gone before me. Teach me to steward what I have and trust You with what I don’t see yet. When Doubt Creeps In Father, silence every voice that says I’m not enough. Align my thoughts with Your truth. Where insecurity tries to rise, let confidence in You rise higher. When You’re Tired of Being Strong Lord, I don’t always want to be the strong one. Refill me. Strengthen me. Remind me that I am carried even when I feel like I’m carrying everyone else.
