I was born into generations of trauma; physically, sexually, emotionally and psychologically.  Early on, I felt like there was something wrong...like I was carrying weight for more than myself or what I'd been through.  As a child I was sexually abused at an early age and still do not have full memory of what happened to me, but the impact of this has continued to show up in my life in various ways;  a teenage pregnancy at 18, failed relationship after relationship, self-sabotaging choices, emotional instability and many other things have been a part of my journey.  My adult life has been filled with trying to earn people's acceptance and love and ignoring my own desires, needs, and what was best for me to the point of mental and physical breakdown. 

 

I got to the place where I came to the end of myself and asked God to save me...and He did.  I left relationships, jobs, and environments, that were abusive, cut off connections that were harming me and I also faced the ways I'd protected myself that actually hurt other people too.  I finally made the choice to vote for myself, and stop trying to earn acceptance by appearance and performance.  I began a journey toward the truth of who I am and the truth I know I was created for.
