When asked to share my story, I had to think really hard
about whether I had a story. We all have
a story within us. We decide whether we
give it a voice. I gave my story a voice
in June when I created my blog I’mPerfectly I’mPossible. My blog shares my journey of navigating
through life’s imperfections to a destination of possibilities. This journey is about my struggle through an
unwanted divorce, discovering who I had become and who God wants to me to
be.
I turned 40 in April and had become a divorced single
mother. My personal life was in
turmoil. My professional life had
rendered a demotion and all of its disadvantages. In a matter of three weeks I
was stripped of everything that I had worked so hard to achieve. This is not
the place I imagined I’d be at 40. I
felt devalued and without purpose. I fought the good fight and ended up
defeated. At least that’s what the enemy
wanted me to believe. My battle was not
about defeat but achieving a level of victory for God’s Kingdom. It was a victory in breaking emotional and spiritual
bondage. I divorced a life that did not build me spiritually and emotionally. God restored everything that I unknowingly
gave away. God does not intend for us to
live in any kind of bondage whether it’s mental, physical, emotional,
spiritual, sexual or social. The battle
in each of us is to free ourselves and to live and love in purpose.
My blog has helped me give life to how I’m evolving into my
purpose while healing along the way. This
journey requires me to be transparent in dealing with the elephant in the room,
traveling without baggage and recovering from emotional bankruptcy. I’m
discovering my purpose every day. My
purpose gives me the strength to keeping fighting to love again while unlocking
all the possibilities that God has for me.
