My Truth

The truth is, God built me. No one’s opinion can break me.

For so long I cared about the opinions of others.

 Confidence is always something I struggled with. Not because I felt I couldn’t do it, but because I allowed the comments of others to silence me or make me believe I wasn’t enough. Even when I began to share my testimony, some people disagreed. They felt some things were too personal to share. The audacity of others believing their opinions should keep me from doing what God specifically called me to do.

When I began my journey, God was very specific in His directions. One thing he repeatedly told me to do was move in silence. He knew, at that time, I would not be able to process the criticism of others and continue walking into my purpose. Everything He told me to do for the 1st two years of Three Armed Mom-Ster, I did in silence. I didn’t call my mom to get her opinion. I didn’t ask my sister if she thought it would be ok. I didn’t ask my dad if he was comfortable with hearing about all my past mistakes. In the beginning, there were two people He used to confirm what He called me to do. Only because His request was so odd to me, I doubted if this was truly what he was asking me to do.

After receiving confirmation, it was just me and Him.  

A year before I launched I began to share what I was doing. I received so much support but I also received a lot of discouragement. Oftentimes people may not realize their words can destroy or alter how you move forward into your purpose. By that point, God had already laid a foundation in me that was resistant to the opinions of others. Even if my testimony made them uncomfortable or sad, that was not my cross to bear. I was called to speak my truth to anyone who needed to hear a story of grace, mercy, and hope. That was my cross to bear.

Those who felt I changed, I was too spiritual or shared too much of my life, God removed from my line of sight. He quickly replaced them with a team of people who supported me, helped shape me, push me, and pray for me. They not only believed in my purpose but they prayed for my success – spiritually and financially!

I’ll be 35 next year. The woman I am today is completely different from the woman I was yesterday. Some don’t like the growth, some I’ve completely outgrown. As I walk out of 2020, this version of me only cares about what God sees, what the love of my life sees, and what my children see.

2020 has taught me to be BOLDER, dream BIGGER, and keep walking in my purpose UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

 You can either support me or move out of my line of sight.
