Fear/Break Loose/

“You saw my burning scars and watched my mishaps
Now watch me healed into a conqueror….the All-Time clapback

You saw the failing grades, me sneaking out, and my crazy exes
Now watch me succeed at being a successful, godly wife…the Mrs.

You saw the jokes they made and rumors aimed at me
Now watch me walk in God’s favor happily….sip that cup of tea

You saw how I was abused and sexually assaulted daily
Now watch me be a college graduate taking care of my babies

You saw my sickness and wished I would die in my aching pain
Now watch me restored and revived…..let the Church say Amen

You saw what was wrong with me and said I cannot be better
Now watch me walk in love, forgive, and preach God’s Word….devil”

-Excerpt from Poem “The Comeback” from Testimonies Of A Young Woman: Pieces Of My Journey

All of has a story. Some are pretty, and others are ugly. One thing that I can say as a testament of my own life is that “I overcame”. I do not want to see people living in “regret” or “condemnation” after God redeemed them from crazy situations that happened in their lives. You made it. You got out of it. You are successful. Even if you are not at the place you desired to be, you still have a whole journey ahead of you and you will soon reach that level, (and probably go beyond that). When I look at my life, I look at a woman that is making her comeback in this world. Despite the bullying, the gossip, the rebellious ways, the self-esteem issues, the sadness and tears, and bad choices, I am surpassing those setbacks. The Past is one event just like the Present and the Future. You can move on.

As always feel free to share your thoughts and some encouragement for someone else…You got this! Until next time!
