I am writing a mini memoir... I am sure the question becomes why and I am willing to answer that.
For whatever reason God has called me to mentor, more by the written word than any other way, and to some extent I have done that, but what I have failed to do is just place myself out there and truly speak to what I have overcome and it is a plethora of things, things that many deal with on a daily basis and seem unable to overcome. I made myself think about why I wasn't stopped by being born to a single mother, being rejected by my father and his family, being touched inappropriately by my godfather, having a physically abusive stepfather and abused mother, not being embraced at first by my husband's family. My only real answer is that I was broken and I mean that in a good way. God broke that thing in me that would have allowed me to use any of that as an excuse not to succeed. He also broke in me the ability to bear grudges or to be unforgiving. Trust me there were times in my life when I did not want to forgive and there were those who tried to encourage me not to. But Being Broken Saved Me and I know it and I am willing to share it with you as honestly as I can with the the least amount of harm to others, praying that one someone will be able to use what I've triumphed over to triumph.God is using me and I am finally allowing him to. But, God. Just Love.
