Summary

SummaryI’m Valeria Garcia from Lima, Peru, and for years I felt like life was a nightmare 😔. By eight I’d witnessed my grandfather’s suicide, and my home was filled with screaming, violence, and betrayal. My dad’s infidelity and my mom’s alcohol addiction left me lonely and anxious. At thirteen I slipped into an eating disorder—starving myself, purging, even battling suicidal thoughts. Yet through it all I clung to the Bible my dad gave me, believing there was a purpose behind this pain. When my father took his life in 2017, I hit rock bottom and ended up hospitalized. But one dark night in 2020, quarantined in my small room, I stared at a picture that read “Jesus loves me,” opened my Bible, and felt God’s promise in Jeremiah 30:17 come alive: “I will restore health to you and heal your wounds.” In that moment I dumped the pills, fell in love with Jesus’s unconditional grace, and began a journey of healing and sanctification. Today, I celebrate freedom, knowing even a tiny seed of faith can bring miracles 🌱✨.
