Share a time when you felt spiritually abandoned
When my marriage was falling apart I thought - "God, what have I done to deserve this"? I would pray and pray, fast, and pray some more. I did not understand how someone I loved would treat me the way that my (then) husband was treating me. I felt that God had forgotten about me; that He had, for some reason, left me to figure it out all on my own.
Share a time when you felt broken
During this time I was pregnant and married but still felt alone. Brokenness cannot describe the way I felt. I discovered that I was being cheated on, women were calling my phone and his mistress was stalking me. Enduring all of this while trying to care for myself and our unborn child; there were days where I could not fathom what was going on. However, I knew that in my brokenness God sees me! El Roi!
Share the moment when you discovered your purpose OR the moment you received a revelation of what your purpose might be
I believe that God has allowed me to go through these trials in order to share my testimony - not that He has not done this for other people in the past (look at the Bible) but my testimony will mean more to those who hear it because of who I am for the people that I love and encounter in my life. No one would ever believe I have gone through some of the things I have and have not gone crazy! Seriously, I know that this is what I am supposed to do; I am destined to speak out against Domestic Violence; But how, when, and where, I am still waiting on God to reveal those things to me.
When you are hardest hit how do you motivate yourself to press on?
I have to tell myself that it could be worse! I have an "out"! My mother use to tell me the only things you cannot come back from are the grave and jail - anything else, you can recover from and triumph! I also have someone who now calls me "mother" - I MUST press on for her!
What have you learned in this season of your life?
I have learned that God has not forgotten me, that He indeed sees me! I have learned that it pays to be steadfast and faithful! He honors your struggle, He rewards your tears and He hears your prayers. God will not and has not left me.
What advice would you give to those who feel like their story is over?
God's timing is PERFECT! Know that it will come to pass when you are ready; when God says you are ready! Only He can end your story, not man!
Send me a picture of your favorite pair of heels and let me know why they are your favorite.
*note: these are my favorite pair of the month*
I have a pair similar to these and when I wear them I feel tall (I am only 5'4) and I feel sexy! Mine have a slight cut out at the toe and on the side of the foot. They are Nine West so they uber comfortable! I love them!
