IT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING

Four years ago today, there was nothing left for me to live for…SO I THOUGHT. My world 🌎 had come crashing down around me. Darkness engulfed me to the point of death…literally. All I had lived for, over those last twenty-one years was gone. It was my end. Little did I know, it was just my beginning.

On that fateful day in March, 2019, despair, loss, worthlessness and fear is all I felt. Focusing on my end, rather than, my new beginning; my loss rather than my win. My broken heart overcame me. The pain of loss was beyond explanation. 💔 Calling on my God, His voice drowned out by the sound of my pounding heart…sobs from my cries…bubbling sound of my boiling blood. The enemy said It was the end…No, IT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.

All I could see was the end of our family game nights, the end of family vacations, the end of holiday and birthday 🎂 🥳 celebrations. My tears were unstoppable, my pain was unbearable 💔. My life had died…but that’s not a thing…OR WAS IT? The foundation of my building was crumbling all around me, and this time…after all this time…after all this pain…after all this work…after all these tears…after all these years…this time I couldn’t stop the building from collapsing. This time, it was the end…OR WAS IT JUST THE BEGINNING?

I saw it. Me…my life…but it had to be someone else’s life. What happened to the strong, outgoing, empathetic, assertive me? She was gone. She was no more. Her fight was gone; her end had come. She was ready…determined to cease the hurt. It was the end.

Four years later, I see IT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING. God saved me…God gave me a new beginning…new life. Today, my life has purpose. What the enemy tried to use to destroy me, God has used to give me new life in my new season. Although I wish that part of my life hadn’t taken place, I am thankful that 🙏 God used it to show me my purpose. I am happy to have HOPE. I have PEACE. My heart is JOYFUL. I am happy to help others…tell my story…save a life…BREAK THE CYCLE and I am excited about what is to come.

Its’ a fact that God is in control. Four years ago, I tried to put my life in my hands. God wasn’t done with me. I am forever thankful for this new chance. I see each day brighter; though challenging. I have the will to fight, knowing that there is greater coming. That season of My life ended, but my life took on a metamorphosis. I am forever grateful that IT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
