I had a pretty hard childhood. In fact, I’ve had a lot of hardships. Marriage is hard. Being a mother is hard. The different stages of life…it’s all hard. The hard things almost broke me. But I found perspective in the light of God and you know what? I didn’t break. How I once suffered from OCD and ADHD, I now rejoice in how God uses those meaningless little letters in my life for good. He truly brings beauty from ashes. I’m living proof.
Because I’ve lost myself more than once, I’ve learned that in each of those times that I’m strong and I’m capable…even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment. And that’s what brought me to you today. I am an overcomer. We are overcome by the word of our testimony and I’m here to share with you the deepest of trenches I’ve walked through so that it may be a light to you…and so that you become an overcomer and find your healing too.
