“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.”- Psalms 46:5
“As a child I was taught to keep God at the center of my everything and admittedly it was easy to do in my early years. Especially with a supportive group of friends and family who kept me sane through whatever storm I was dealing with. However, when I moved to California, (in the middle of high school) a couple years after my parents split it felt as if my world came crashing down. All of my comforts were gone and even though my support groups were a phone call away, I found myself feeling more alone than ever. By the time I had to choose my college I was hardened and couldn’t honestly care less about my future. Going to Rutgers was absolutely not my first choice and honestly, I thought I was better than that school, BUT GOD works in mysterious ways. Despite a rocky start filled with alcohol, constant partying, nonsense boys and feelings of inadequacy, I truly began to find myself. There was no fulfillment in those things, and at my darkest moment God gave me a second chance. I found a second family in Liberated. I prayed harder than ever before and I refocused. God gave me joy, peace and security. It most definitely wasn’t easy but God showed me grace constantly. Through every misstep, every failure, and every time I wanted to give up, He literally NEVER let me fall. I’m still a work in progress but forever grateful for the journey . Now that I have graduated, I Can’t wait to see what God has planned for me next.”
