Jesus Loves you, Babe.
Raised by "Jehova's witnesses" in a cult-like-culture i never realized my circumstances weren’t normal.
Mental illnesses were rampant around me, leaving me with a childhood full of trauma and neglect that I will be recovering from and advocating for life. Despite it all, I still found Jesus. Even in my tiny secluded version of the world, God found me. Through abuse and daily verbal assaults that attempted to tear me down into nothing, He always managed to surround me with a reason for joy. He always kept my heart warm and soft by surrounding me with books and stories of love that made me creative, imaginative, and bright! I would imagine I was Bell locked away in her tower with nothing but books, or Rapunzel trapped away from the world with a grotto full of curious and fascinating things or Cinderella, pushed and forced to the brink of despair through hard labor and maltreatment, but finding joy and light in the nature around her … and the sudden appear appearance of a Holy Spirit that one day came and took me away on the adventure of a lifetime.
Unlike these princesses, my story isn’t over yet. As yet to reach my happily ever after as I still build my life around who I become through seeing trauma and mental illnesses through the lens that God has given me. He has sustained me all my life and he continues to do so as I march to advocate for women and children like me who may struggle with unseen disabilities due to their surroundings.
Mental health and neural developmental awareness come only second in my life to loving God, sharing the gospel and caring for children.
I find so much joy in streaming online as a way to stay connected to the world, bringing beautiful creations and ideas to life while serving others in a way that still allows me to love myself, and God above all.
As I am still building a life catering towards supporting my needs for a efficient recovery, I want to open as many windows as possible for others to join me in this journey and support my process through donations, support, cheering for me, and most importantly, Prayer.
Thank you for logging on and becoming a part of my story. My future holds a lot for me and I hope to see you there.
