My pain, Gods Purpose

I've really been contemplating what to say or where to start. I even contemplated whether or not I should do this blog because I questioned my ability to reach out to women and help them. Then I realized this was a desire that God placed in my heart, so surely I could do it with His strength and grace. So, I asked myself why are you doing this, what's your purpose? What I realized is that I want to help empower women, young women, and girls. I've seen so many women, including myself settle for less than we deserve, which happens to be God's best for us! I've often found myself looking for love in all the wrong places because I was trying to fill a void that only God could fill. I had my son at 15 because I was looking for love in all the wrong places, hoping that the love of my child would fill the void of emptiness and loneliness that I struggled with on a daily basis, but it didn't! When I look at all that I've been through, the struggles, the heartbreak, the pain, and the loss, it was all a platform to my purpose. I do pray that you all don't have go through the same things I did because a lot it was my own doing, but I do know that we have to go through some things (struggles, pain, and suffering) for a DIVINE PURPOSE. I have to admit a lot of the bad decisions I made were simply because I didn't know my self worth, I didn't know how much God loves me, how He wants me to be the best version of me that I can be in Him! He has great plans in store for us all. I want women all of ages to know and believe this! To sum it all up I have a passion to encourage and empower women, to reveal to them the love of Christ, to lead them to Christ, and help those in need of the same AMAZING GRACE that I continue to experience on a daily basis! We are all a work in progress, on a journey to do this thing called "life" together! Just know that God has a plan for us all! Your pain is your platform for you purpose! "~For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."~Ephesians 2:10
