Jesus Loves you, Babe.
Like many others raised in a a world dominated by violence and aggression- I never realized my circumstances weren’t normal.
My community, saturated with undiagnosed and misunderstood mental illness , left me as a young adult soaked in trauma and neglect. Not only did I discover the extensive, long-term recovery process attatched to trauma, but I carried the realization that the healing journey I embarked on would have to be walked alone- without the support or understanding of the world i grew up in...
Despite it all, I found Jesus. Even in my broken and hurt, secluded corner of the world, God found me. He made me realize, He'd always been there and I was never alone.
Through abuse, neglect and verbal assaults that attempted to tear me down - He always found a way to surround me with joy. He kept my heart warm and soft- surrounding me with love, new experiences and adventure!
Jesus was that Prince Charming that whisked me away to the adventure of a lifetime. We changed my name and took off.
Now, I see trauma and mental illnesses through the new lens that God has given me - a view of compassion and expression- remedy and life. He has sustained me all my life and He continues to do so as I advocate for others like me who struggle with their own tales.
As a professional educator and full-time creative streamer, I find so much joy in teaching online, bringing beautiful creations and ideas to life while serving others in a way that can instill healing and relief to their minds, souls and bodies.
I want to open as many windows for God to do His work as possible, just as He did for me.
My future holds a lot for me and I hope to see you there.
