God's Grace




Good evening.

One thing I know is we all need God's grace. Every day we get up and get a chance to do it all over again is a blessing. We go through life not always getting it right but by the grace of God, we make it.

Years ago, I had a stroke at the age of 27 and I thought it was over for me I had problems walking, standing and so many other things. It was hard to even think straight. I had 5 children that needed to be taken care of. I fell into depression and thought I was alone despite having a wonderful support system. I was angry at God for letting me be in this situation. My faith was shaken. I had to start rough therapy. My partner at the time worked 2 jobs but still managed to take care of things with the help of my parents.

My partner was a cheater and that had me torn at heart. How could I handle the disrespect when I needed him to take care of me? So, I said nothing because I felt like I could not meet his needs and quite frankly it was not at the top of my list.

I slowly started to get better. It took over a year to fully recover. During that time, I had others minister to me, and my faith started to build. I started to pray daily some days multiple times a day. My prayers started to be answered. I knew God was listening to me. I had my nights where I cried myself to sleep but the next day, I would be ok with not a tear in sight. I knew that God was taking care of me just by the people that was surrounding me daily.

This stroke left me with seizures that I still have to this day. They are called acute, so I have to be careful of stress. Anything stressful that is told to me instantly gives me a headache and the pressure builds up until it turns into a migraine, and I have to have silence and darkness. The only relief is a seizure, so in my life today I try to not let things bother me.

Becoming a minister and learning the word of God has helped me grasp life and the many changes that come daily. Yes, I still get upset but I handle things so differently than I used to. I am a much calmer person. I think before I react. I pray before I speak, and this took time to learn. Through studying the word of God, therapy, and college I have learned some ways to help others who suffer from Debilitating illnesses and depression. I will be giving some tips on how to navigate life in the aftermath. You are not alone, and I can prove it.

Although my services are paid service, I offer help based on the income of the individual. I do this because not everyone can afford to get the help they need. Sometimes it is based on a donation and a few other steps that help this ministry move forward. I am here to help so reach out and have comfort in knowing that there is help for you.

God's grace brought me out of that storm and many others I will share. Don't drown in depression let God motivate you through someone who has been there and is better now.
