"Why are you Christian" because the Lord is good and irresistibly sexy, next question.

Thank you God for your sense of humor and continually bringing truth to light

A tip for those still in highschool:

Don't spend the highlights of your highschool experience with people that will dampen those memories. Please select the people in your life carefully, more so than I did, so that you can look back on those memories and smile. Differentiate who stuck with you through the hard times, who values your honesty, who tells you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear, who brings you closer to Christ, who is loyal to you no matter what, who never talks shit about you, who believes in self improvement, who sees how much you care and appreciates you for it, who has their priorities straight, who reminds you what you're worth even when you forget... and who is all talk.

Coming from someone who is deathly afraid of being alone, it is always better to be on your own than to be surrounded by liars and manipulators and fake "I love you"s.

Because you are who you hang out with. Everything you hate about them is what you will become. And even after you come to your senses, discover your worth and emerge from the waves of half truths you were trapped under, because of the time already spent with them, their stench will remain.

And it will drive you mad.

Pray for discernment, my friends. There are few wounds in life as painful as betrayal.

Daily Bread with Breakfast

It is so important for me to daily get into the Word of God. Some days I fail at this. But I try my best to be consistent at getting into the Word. I am currently reading through Psalms and Exodus.

A Hitch in the Road

There's nothing worse than going after something positive and ending up feeling so much negativity revolving your goal.

I started Fiercely Favored in hopes of creating a community of believers with scars and difficult stories. I asked my younger brother to help with graphics for the shirts and to make the logo. He suffered with alcoholism and apparently depression. He was traveling the road of living a toxic, verbally ,and mentally abusive relationship.

My brother grew up with me and I know the awful history or our childhood, as I healed and grew, he drank and stewed. To his shit life stew he added a baby momma that was totally dedicated to making babies and living in her own toxicity and the truth is I'm bias so I'll keep the details of their life limited.

My brother committed suicide in September 2022. He shot himself in the head in his closet, although graphic, it speaks to the devastation that I am experiencing. He lived a life so full of tragedy but was so talented and inspirational to many. It tears my heart to pieces to k ow it ended as a tragic story instead of the way I envisioned.

I started this story it started with disruption to goals and when I started my company I had such a deep desire to help others and when my brother left I lost a piece of my heart. It set me off course.

I began a downward spiral for 4 months nearly giving up all I worked for right alongside my brother. I was definitely a willing participant to my own demise at that time.

God did not let me go. He planted blessings in my life that made it impossible for me to quit and He revealed Himself to me by giving me dreams and signs. I thank God that my heart always remains soft enough for Him to make himself known to me in my times of pain.

Today I have rededicated myself to bringing the lost sheep of God together in a community that they can feel comfortable in.

In my next blog I will detail the next step in this amazing story of redemption for Fiercely Favored and a person that is a true believer and working to help us understand the first steps of reentry and recovery with God on her side.
