My Journey With God, No. 83

This morning, I’m so very thankful and grateful I am not in the same space I was six years ago. On April 11, 2019, I reclaimed my life by sharing my fears with the world. Before then, the only ones who knew, and I feel cared, were my two hearts. When I tried to share my fears and concerns with other close family, I was told I was overreacting. That the fear was all in my head. I’ve said this many times before, when I say I’m so grateful to still be here, believe me, I’m grateful to still be here. Y’all, God is so good, merciful, and gracious. Here’s the mental and emotional space I was in six years ago.

April 11, 2019

That day, I stopped living and moving in fear. A little over a month later, my ex finally signed the divorce papers. Although I felt somewhat free, it wasn’t until a week before my 46th birthday, when the judge signed my papers, that I knew I was actually free.

When someone tells you they are afraid, believe them. I don’t care how nice or good you may believe someone to be, believe the person who is afraid. They’re not overreacting. My ex did not want to let me go. We had been separated and going through the divorce process for over four years and he was still texting me saying I would always be his wife (kept the communication open because my son was still a minor). It was a very scary situation to be in. Again, I am so grateful I am still here. I’m so grateful I’ve been able to watch my babies become thriving adults. Y’all, I do not take my life for granted at all.

I’m still here!

I’m Here

Wasn’t sure what I would share this afternoon. So, I decided to search my photos based on the first word that came to mind and that word was “here.” Several photos popped up, but the photo above is the one that caught my eye.

Yes, I’m here! And I’m still standing.

Y’all, God is so very good. If you only knew… I am beyond grateful and blessed that He loves me.

I’m here!!


I pray you’re having a wonderful day, and that you’ll have an even better weekend. Remember, you’re also here and still standing tall. Whatever was meant to destroy you, couldn’t. You made it!♥️

Sending you much love!
