Almost 15 years ago my life changed forever. I entered into a relationship that went against all I had been taught and believed. The struggles, convictions (and most of the time) condemnations left me crippled in every way: mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. After much prayer and reaffirming myself, I was able to accept God's divine love again just as I did when I was a child. I was reintroduced to Him during the most crucial time in my life and got to know who He really is. I gained strength, resilience, and the true experience of God's love for me in spite of my shortcomings. Not only was I able to receive love, but I learned how to give it. I'm unapologetically ME despite all that I have been through. This gave me permission to recognize the gifts, talents, qualities, and greatness that lay dormant during that season of doubt. I hope my story gives you the courage and strength to be FREE in who you are because being bound just won't do. Wherever you are in your life may the peace of God be there with you. Above all things never forget that He loves you and has a great plan for your life through your story. Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
