From heartbreak to triumph

Starting over isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it.

“Here are your things, you are released” said the nurse. I walked out the front door and immediately saw two familiar faces. Two of my sisters in Christ were waiting by the car. As soon as I saw their smiling faces I was overwhelmed by the peace of God. It was like he was saying, “you are going to be okay, I got you” I was moved to tears.

Little did I know, my life was about to change forever. They dropped me off at my parents house and we said our see you laters.

When everything changes, God is your constant.

I moved out of my apartment and moved back in with my parents, it was a tough decision, but I needed the stability. I felt like I had nothing, I surrendered my life to God and began praying that he would fill me up again.

I quit my job, quit the ministries I was a part of and it was then that I knew I had hit rock bottom. How would I get a fresh start, ive been through way too much how would God turn this around for me? So much had happened in four days that would alter the plans I had. Isn’t it funny that we still make our own plans even after knowing Gods way will ALWAYS prevail.

After a few days of recuperating, I began looking for jobs. I couldnt wait to get back into church, I immediately went to the next service and cried out to God. How did my life end up this way was a question I kept asking myself.

Sometimes when your life gets too busy for God, he will realign you (always).

I began digging deep into the word, praying, worshipping, journaling, all of my free time went to spending time with the Lord. He began stirring a fire within me. I got a new job and decided to try out therapy. (Three years strong and it has changed my life.) He was calling me out of the grave. This being the hardest thing ive ever gone through and he marched me out in FREEDOM. God had performed a miracle in my life. How beautiful is it to know that we serve a God that is almighty and all powerful.

God turned around my life for the better. I am Happy to say I am still at my new job and loving it. My parents have become my best friends and I am back to serving in the church.

If youre struggling with your mental health, reach out and receive the help you need. God did it for me and he can and is willing to do it for you too. Never be afraid to start over. It might be the greatest miracle to happen to you.

Sometimes heartbreak is a set up for triumph.
