Summary

I grew up in a middle-class family in Georgia, with divorced parentsβ€”my dad showered me with material things as love, while my mom was strict and emotionally distant, leaving me feeling rejected and confused. The enemy used this to mold lies into my identity, leading to rebellion, isolation, and a constant inner voice telling me I was ugly and unloved. Traumatic events, like witnessing my stepmother chase my dad with a knife, deepened my fear and pain. I dabbled in church as a teen but felt no real love there, rejecting God and diving into partying, drugs like cocaine, and reckless living in my 20s. I wrecked my car in a blackout drunk drive but survived miraculously. At rock bottomβ€”homeless, carless, addictedβ€”Mama Cindy at the bar confronted me, forcing sobriety and rebuilding my life for six months. In my 30s, I married, but a neck injury from work led to chronic pain, divorce, and despair. Crying out to Jesus, "Fix my life," He flooded me with peace, drawing me back to church through my mom. There, I learned about my spirit, soul, and body, received the baptism of fire, spoke in tongues, and began deliverance from spirits like rejection and embarrassment. Serving the poor humbled me, breaking pride and mammon. Missions to Peru revealed true faith amid poverty, transforming me further. Now, I walk in freedom, silencing enemy lies with authority, trusting God's unraveling processβ€”proving no brokenness is beyond His redemption. πŸ™βœ¨
