It was time to turn that pain into purpose and power.
Have you ever experienced a time when things were going well, and then, "Bam," it felt like someone pulled the rug from underneath you.
I sure have, and truthfully, when the truth came out, I was shocked, confused, and ashamed.
That experience tried to break me and cause me to give up. But I'm so glad, God wouldn't let me go.
"How could this have happened to me?" I thought.
How could it not?
Life happens to all of us.
When it does, we have to find the strength to see where we missed it, "face" the pain, and "faith" through the journey of healing and restoration with intentionality, honesty, and practical strategy.
Sometimes you need to ReSet.
One day, after sharing my story at an event, I realized other women were struggling with limiting beliefs, defeatism, and the lies of the enemy after heartache. I hated that for them.
I realized we couldn't let "him" win.
The "him" I'm speaking of was not solely a literal person, but an enemy who was behind the scenes pulling the strings in an attempt to keep me and other children of God from living a life of freedom and victory.
I remember praying to God and asking, "How can I help others who were struggling with shame, isolation, stuckness, self-depreciation, and attacks against their mindset, purpose, and God-given identity?"
The answer was to create this course and other faith-anchored resources and strategies.
I can remember raising my hands in praise and praying for each woman who would take the course. God was teaching me how to turn my pain into purpose and power.
I was praying for every woman who would choose to say, "I'm not giving up. I choose life!"
Daughter of the King, don't let anything stop you!
Do this for you. The oil of your suffering won't be wasted.
