There was a season in my life where I wasn’t walking in my purpose. I hadn’t come to terms with who I was in Christ. I knew there was a calling on my life (but I was stubborn) and I ventured down my own path that lead me to shame, pain and self hatred. God had to break me down for me to fully understand who I was. I was gracefully broken before God. Tasha Cobbs Leonard song Gracefully Broken really spoke about the season that I was in. January 2024 I was given an instruction from God to do a special type of fasting because of an impending attack (on my life) from the enemy. I disobeyed God’s instructions and 3 days later I contracted the Covid 19 virus. For over a week I was bed ridden, so weak and sick; the only thing I had the strength to do was to sleep. I was losing pounds and my sanity by the day.
Day 2 into being bed ridden by the virus I felt as if my life was literally leaving my body. I was crippled with fear because deep in my heart I knew I wouldn’t make it into heaven. I was laying in bed that early Thursday morning making a promise to God that if He spares my life; I would make it my utmost duty to not be fearful of death, but to be ready and prepared until He is ready to take me home.
After regaining my strength, I began seeking God more than I have ever done. Yes sis, I seeked Him diligently with my whole heart and yes I found Him!-He was patiently waiting on me.
One day, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it was my season of brokenness that opened the door for my healing, enlightenment and restoration. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it around for my good. It was this revelation that fostered the growth of the Gracefully HER community.
