I’M NOT EMBARRASSED ABOUT ANYTHING!

I’ve struggled. I’ve been hurt by people I loved the most. I’ve been double crossed, used, played, played with, bamboozled, hood-winked, AND led astray. I’ve been betrayed by friends. I’ve been broke and broken. I’ve mismanaged money and priorities. I’ve ugly cried and had emotional challenges and mental issues (still do).

I’ve privately taken L after L. Lost, rebuilt, repeat. I’ve, on several occasions, had to live back home as an adult when life brought me back into my mother’s nurturing arms. My safe place.

I’ve run from grief. I’ve been blindsided and discarded. Yes, dumped. I’ve begged for someone to see my value and worth. I’ve been embarrassed by circumstances that happened to me. I’ve been hurt by fake love, mentally broken, and absolutely stupid many times. I’ve given out blind loyalty and trust without thinking twice, and it came back to bite me. I’ve been depressed and suicidal many times.

But one thing is for certain, I’ve always ate everything up and remained 10 toes down through it all. Bent but never folded. Never switched up.

So for me, my body represents more than flesh. It represents strength, resilience, and freedom. Courage. It represents proof that a body that went through war may have scars, but that’s the beauty in it all. My body represents health, healing, God’s love, God’s grace, and God’s sovereignty.

Conversations with Carter ๐Ÿซ 

Carter: Mom, am I ever going to get a stepfather? No rush or anything. I was just wondering…

Me: My dear son, unfortunately, guys aren’t as loyal as you are. They obviously don’t respect, appreciate, and value a loving, supportive, kind, devoted, God-fearing, and faithful woman. Someone who would truly appreciate a top-tier woman who would spoil, cook, submit, serve, and honor him. It is what it is.

So no, my sweet boy, you won’t be getting a step-father. Here son, enjoy your food.

Thank you, Father God. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

In April 2020, I was 99 lbs, a borderline alcoholic and endlessly asking God to take back the life He had given me.

Plot Twist…

In April 2023, I am naturally 175 lbs, occasionally getting my drink on (haha) and endlessly thanking God, yet again, for saving the life He’s given me.

God’s Plan.

Stay strong.

Fight on.

Healing requires assessing all the damage done. I can’t ultimately blame anyone for my suffering but myself.

You see, during our walk of righteousness, we have what’s called FREE WILL. I freely and willingly allowed and settled for less than I deserved. I can’t blame God. I can’t even ultimately blame the other person. I can only ultimately blame ME.

With God’s grace and mercy, my healing is my responsibility. My burden to bear. My cross to carry.

Taking accountability. Standing on that. Onward.
