Start of a New Journey with Unknown Paths
Hola Faithful Warriorz…
N
o words can begin to describe all the feelings stirring inside of me for this NEW JOURNEY in my life! I don’t know where it will take me, but I know where I’ve been. I can’t imagine the unknown paths being worse than those I already traveled. So, I’m ready to travel my future unfamiliar paths with knowing they will lead me to my destiny.
While on this NEW JOURNEY, I have a few goals in-mind of trying new things, learning new ways, breaking old habits, building my confidence coming out of my shell, and growing my faith.
I’m setting no limits because with God anything is possible!
The seed of this journey was planted when I was about 15 as I felt this calling to want to help other women.
Fast forward >>> Throughout my years, I lost my identity. My own reflection was a stranger staring back at me. I constantly asked the infamous question “Why me?”. I believed in the existence of God, but not that I was His child. Lies consumed me for years that I was worthless and incapable of being loved. I was chained to those lies and as I aged, the thoughts deepened. I thought of myself as damaged and suffered so much pain for I thought I deserved it. The sad part of my suffering is that I hid in silence. Trust was (and even worse now) a big issue for me due to the fear of what others will say or think of me. Fear controlled my life. I felt that my issues, problems, and/or worries were mine and mine alone to deal with. If I shared them and made decisions, not to their approval, will they still be at my side?
I just never imagined myself going through everything I did especially with the things I witnessed promising myself that, that would never be me.
It finally came to a point that I became tired of hiding and not because I thought I was alone. I thought I would be rejected by society and have stones thrown at me.
So, I fought in silence.
Another reality I faced was that everyone has choices to make and every choice has consequences – rather good or bad. These choices are on the individual that makes them. These choices are their choices of how they choose to handle things. Yet, one choice is that NO form of abuse SHOULD EVER play its part in the solution.
As part of my story, I want to heal from my pain by helping others heal from theirs. I want every tear that I have and continue to shed to be a blessing for others. Sow seeds of goodness to reap a harvest of blessings.
My chicas, my beautiful warriors….it’s time to RISE.
Walk, roll or crawl out of the darkness of lies into the light of truth!
You are Loved!
You are Beautiful!
You are stronger than your pain!
You are worth more than any mistake!
I don’t know what you been through, going through, or about to go through but TRUST that God already has your victory lined up.
The greater the battle. The greater the victory.
This is a HUGE step for me, but it’s time. I know it’s not going to be easy because following my path means fulfilling my purpose and trusting in Him. Also, means I will encounter haters, non-believers, and critics. The way I see it…the more haters I gain, the more I know I’m on the right path!
So, warriorz… Join me on my journey and/or let’s start yours!!!
