Resilient Faith
I was in my public charter high school when I was asked this question by my English teacher: “How did you get through all of this?”. She said this after hearing my story and my answer was simple but also so complex, and short but taking a lifetime, the answer was Jesus. A custody battle, horrific abuse, court, mental health challenges, being blamed for things that weren’t my fault at a young age, coming to the realization of what was healthy and what was not, and so much more. The other night after a rough day of memories coming up, I was praying and I prayed this to myself: “I have gone through so much God, but I have been through nothing apart from you”. It came through my words, but God was so speaking to me through these words. Resiliency is the ability to recover quickly from adversity. How can someone go through so much and bounce back quickly? Well, I want to say this, I am not superwoman nor have I fully healed from the abuse....
