I am thankful for grace and mercy that I've been shown even in my times of pain.

I know that I have a village of people who love and pray for me. I use my story to help others so that they may continue to have Faith.

In all my pain I stand and say thank you God. My heart is broken, I feel lost and confused, but thank you God...every day you wake me up and allow me an opportunity to help and love on others who may be in pain like me. Thank you for using me to spread love. I may not be fully healed from my trauma but I am blessed enough to know that I still have work to do. Even when I am weary and weak you bless me enough to give me strength to help someone else.

I stand knowing that I could be worse. I stand in the belief that even now in my pain, I continue to be blessed. I stand in my faith. I will always stand in God's love for me.
