I was raised by a single mother with three kids and we lived in Houston Texas. I spent most of my time on the basketball court and in church reciting plays and doing poetry. Trails and tribulations were not foreign to me. I found that we starve because we do not like the way God is delivering the blessing. Fighting spiritually while reacting to the damages the world threw at me, I had to keep a constant connection, through prayers with the most high God. To learn me better, my God would get my attention by placing me in situations of solitude, so I could hear him loud and clear. So much had been taken from me. How do you trust? My innocents were stolen from me as a child. My reasoning was hijacked as a preteen. Despite it all, my faith proved God could provide more than I could imagine. I longed to marry a God-Fearing husband and raise disciplined children. Life was revealing something different. I truly knew my life could get better. I just did not understand how to work in the spirit, so I would not glorify the flesh. I was set up to succeed. However, I really was not sure because so much had happened to me and everybody else is still living their own lives. So I started believing in the Lord, trusting in Him, because HE can change things. I began following HIS direction and no longer minimizing what He was capable of doing for me. I wanted to help not hurt, and do the opposite of what was done to me. Inspired by the Lord and supported by my late brother my husband and I started a non-profit organization.
