Welcome to Your New Sisterhood!
Life is certainly not easy all of the time, but what is important is that you never give up or lose sight of yourself through the obstacles. There will be ups and downs, but in the end as God’s daughters we have the victory! This sisterhood is for anyone who needs a village, someone to lean on, someone to talk to, someone to give them encouragement. Most importantly, this sisterhood is for YOU sis, I see you. You’ve survived so much that people can’t even understand how you are still smiling and still showing up. You have a unique purpose, and I want you to continue to persist as you become the woman God created you to be.
Isaiah 40:31
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
“She” is Me.
Through all the challenges and setbacks I’ve faced in my life the one constant is who saves me each time: God. It has taken me some time to realize my purpose in life: I want others to know how good God is and it starts by me sharing my story and my life and to stop thinking He cannot use me. Every day God extends his grace and mercy even when I do not deserve it… When I am impatient, when I am doubting, when I am worrying about the next. June 21st, 2022 I woke up not feeling well and decided to go to the ER despite my OB office telling me to wait at home to see if I felt better in 24 hours. I just didn’t feel right and the discomfort I was feeling was not going away, and then I got really nauseous and vomited. After this episode I told my husband that we needed to go to the hospital. Just a few hours later after arriving to the hospital, my labs were drawn and shortly after I was wheeled into an OR for an emergency c-section at 33 weeks pregnant after being told I had to give birth to my daughter within the next 30 minutes to save my life and hers due to HELLP Syndrome. The moments rolling back I didn’t have time to think, I didn’t have time to worry. I was being put under general anesthesia because my platelets were so low, meaning I was at risk for bleeding out any minute. This meant I had to go into surgery alone after my husband was originally going to be allowed to be with me in the OR . I had to leave my husband all alone and he was confused about what was going on because everything was happening so fast. Even though I was going to be alone, I knew I wasn't- because God was with me. I closed my eyes and for the first time, I can truly say I put it all in God’s hands. My life and my child’s life. I’m forever grateful for listening to my body enough to go to the hospital and I am grateful to God for saving me and my child. I’m thankful for Him showing me my life has purpose and I am supposed to be here. Through every setback or hard situation I have faced in my life, I’ve had to wait. But I’m now realizing I wasn’t "just" waiting , I needed to learn to wait on God to come through and make a way and renew my strength. Anything that comes my way I will persist with purpose because I know my God is a saving God and He has a plan and purpose for my life. Welcome to my story.
