I really do want to thank all of you who have reached out with messages of support and love, just checking in on me to see if Iām ok. Iāve struggled with knowing what to say, because even though Iāve shared a lot of my life on social media, there is a huge amount of stuff that happens behind closed doors that I prefer not to share with you all. So many people have asked āWhere have you been?ā, āare you ok?ā, āWhatās going on?ā, āIām worried about you.ā I truly do appreciate how much you all care about me, and I do know that it comes from a place of genuine care and concern (at least for the most part, Iām sure there are people who barely know me who are just curious). I went an entire year vlogging every single day, sharing my whole life with the public, and I loved doing it. But this year, tragedy in my life struck, I lost pretty much the most important person in my life, and when that happens, it changes you. I truly do believe that God can use your story to become a testimony of His goodness and His grace, and that our stories can change other peopleās lives. I hope my story can one day do that, but for that to happen I think I have to get a little further on my journey. So am I ok? Yes. I am ok, I am safe, and I am supported. Are things easy? No. This is probably the most challenging season of my entire life, and every day is a struggle, and every day I know I have to stand back up and try again. But sometimes thatās life, and sometimes thatās living a life Godās called you to- get back up and keep running because Jesus is running right along side me, and my time is coming. And so is yours! Itās not always easy to lift your hands and praise God for what Heās doing, when you donāt really understand it to begin with. But you donāt have to understand- you just have to do it and hold onto truth. I do hope one day I am brave enough to stand up and say āLook at what God did! He pulled me out and gave me new life.ā And I want to explain my story. But my story is still being written right now, so I need to focus on writing it well, so when I do share it, thereās something worth sharing. I just want God to use me, even when Iām broken. And I know He will. Xx Stefania https://www.instagram.com/p/B6R1JmBnJEd/?igshid=dvakn6rcjgf1
