What a beautiful class tonight!!!! I am looking forward to learning and growing. Stepping into my Fearfully and Wonderfully made self. Becoming Unapologetically ME🦋💜

Sometimes God allows us to be beautifully broken, so the masterpiece He creates can reveal the full power of His healing, His deliverance, and His restoration. To be beautifully broken… I know what it means to walk through divorce.To struggle financially.To have a car repossessed and be evicted.I know the heartbreak of losing a child.I know the trauma of physical and sexual assault.I know what it feels like to be lied on, talked about, slandered, and misjudged. I know what it feels like to pray for everyone else’s children while your own child is fighting addiction and perversion.I know what it feels like to stand on the edge of suicide, barely holding on.I know what it feels like to lose a father—the steady voice who shaped your life.I know the sting of rejection, betrayal, abandonment, and being dropped by the very people who said they loved you.I know the weight of fear and anxiety when it squeezes you in a chokehold. And yet… After all of this, I now understand what it means to be beautifully broken. I know what it looks like when a loving, sovereign God picks up shattered pieces and fits them together with divine precision.I know what it feels like to be held together by His unfailing love.I know the peace that settles over you when it should’ve been impossible.I know the tender touch of a God who wipes tears you never thought would stop falling.I know what it means for Him to snatch you from the grip of death and breathe new life into your lungs. I now know deeply, fully, undeniably, what it means to be beautifully broken. Because broken in His hands is never the end of the story.It’s the beginning of the masterpiece.

I don’t think we realize how offended we really are 💔and how, when it goes undealt with, offense starts making decisions for us and convincing us they’re right…even when God never said it. ❤️‍🩹 Launching a ministry to prove you were overlooked. ❤️‍🩹 Hosting worship, prayer, and prophecy nights but to show your anointed. ❤️‍🩹 Building platforms because you felt silenced. ❤️‍🩹 Doing your own thing because correction felt like rejection. ❤️‍🩹 Starting a church not because God spoke, but because you were wounded where you last served. The truth is, there’s unresolved pain. And the pain part doesn’t make you a bad Christian..it makes you human. That part is okay. God can heal that. But the unresolved part? That’s what God is after. Because that’s the part affecting your next. Your next decision. Your next move. Your next yes. And until it’s acknowledged, it will keep influencing what you call being obedient to God. Before you call it God. Check the heart. Because here’s a very very hard truth… offense is strong enough to start something but never strong enough to keep it alive. I made a declaration over the gifted this morning! I said,“Whatever we do in 2026 will be because God graced us not because offense pressured us!” 🙌🏾 -Alrecus Ford

Sis, hear me: Satan strikes the match… but the fire only burns when our thoughts and our soul go unchecked, unsubmitted, and unhealed. Most of the damage doesn’t come from the initial attack, it comes from the internal torment that follows. This is why you need safe, wise women in your life. Women who listen first, and then respond responsibly when the war inside of you becomes too heavy. Because after the enemy tempts you, he doesn’t stick around. He steps back…and waits for your own thoughts to finish what he started. Look at Eve— Satan tempted her once, then left. It was her untamed desires and her unanswered questions that filled the empty space in her soul. Look at Cain— Satan incited envy, then crouched at the door, waiting to see what Cain’s troubled soul would do with it. And it led to murder. Look at Job— Satan attacked his life, then stepped back to let grief crush him from the inside. His mouth revealed what the battle in his soul was doing. Women of God, this is why emotional maturity, spiritual accountability, and healed spaces matter. The fire isn’t always in the attack, the fire is often in our reaction.

Listen Sis, you are not obligated to stay committed to the version of yourself you introduced others to. Some people met you when you were surviving, not living. They met the version of you shaped by trauma and pain. The version formed through abandonment and rejection. The version that learned independence out of necessity. The version that hardened just to make it through. That woman was doing her best, but She was not the full expression of who God created you to be. And it’s okay to say this gently and honestly: That’s not who I am anymore. It’s okay to reintroduce yourself. It’s okay to show up softer, wiser, healed, and more grounded. It’s okay to let go of survival mode and step into purpose mode. It’s okay if the new you makes people uncomfortable, because growth often does. You are becoming the woman God always intended. Not the woman pain created, fear shaped and circumstances demanded. So don’t shrink to make others comfortable with an outdated version of you. Don’t apologize for evolving. Don’t feel guilty for changing. Reintroduce yourself, as the healed version, the authentic version,the God designed version. She’s the one you were always meant to be. #tianastea☕️ #itsteatime
