March 29th, 2023 marked 10 years since I said enough is enough to depression + suicide attempts and decided that the Word was for me which meant to live life that was abundant, full of joy, and adventure. This is an extra 10 years of life I should not have lived but the Lord snatched me.
When I was 9 I had attempted to kill myself for the first time. By the age of 13 I had 7 attempts under my belt. No, my family had no idea. No adults knew. Just a handful of friends. Two of my friends reported me in the fall of seventh grade. It threw me into a whirlwind of events which then led me to being at church more and attending a youth conference. It was in a moment of ministry and worship where it left me. I came home a different person and my friends saw it.
10 years later I made it to high school graduation, I made it to college, I graduated college, I saw my older sister get married and have kids, I’ve watched my little sister grow up near and far, but most important I’ve walked with the Lord closer than ever. I actively serve where I graduated from Bible College under the most amazing pastors.
When I look back 10 years ago and to even when I was 9 I don’t recognize the girl I was. It’s as if I remember a stranger and if I could I would have told her to open her eyes sooner and that everything she believed about herself was a lie.
In light of that I started a podcast today called THIS IS LIVING to talk about practical + spiritual ways to grow and everything in between. This is not the life I ever pictured for myself, but it’s far better than any other outcome. Here’s to living & sticking it to the devil for the rest of my years!
