Embracing Widowhood 🌸 Surviving Miscarriage 🌸 The Beauty of Womanhood

Forever Free

Life takes many shapes. Fears mold us into things we are not, fitting in, hiding who we are. On the outside we appear to be something, that our hearts know we’re not. Who can save us, who can set us free? His name is Jesus. Who’s identity leads us to break free, exposing who we’re meant to be. Forever Free. ♡

🌸Faith that can move “mountains” does not happen over night. For some, such faith is found through the storms and trials of life. . . 🌸✨My faith has grown throughout this journey. I have found myself seeing the outcome of the unshaken faith in the midst of the storms. Did I ever doubt God’s goodness?? Of course, but I never let go. . . 🌸✨My faith has taken on a beating to the point where I had no choice but to truly believe God would help me through; He did. . . 🌸✨I have come to the point where I believe He will be with me and help me through whatever I face, because if He was able to help me through the hardest time of my life then there is nothing He wouldn’t do for me; there’s nothing He wouldn’t help me through. ♥️ . . 🌸✨That’s the faith that moves mountains. My faith is in Him, the One who moves the mountains. . .

This weekend has been life changing. I knew a little of what God was going to do in my life, but I didn’t think I would be leaving here the way I am. . . This entire month brings back so many horrible memories for me. This month last year I was prayerfully battling for my husband’s life. I have been reliving those moments and feeling all over. . . God confronted them at this @g12usa conference. Songs I had been avoiding due to them reminding me of last year, were played. Through one called “Here Again,” God broke me. It was the SAME song I heard this time last year and it helped me through the anxiety, loneliness and fear. . . 🌸”Will you meet me here again,” was my hearts cry. God helped me through it all up to now and I asked Him to help me through this new season of my life. . . Last night, the final night of the convention I went to the altar and left my identity as a “widow.” . . “Back To The Start” . . ✨I am leaving here with a powerful word from God. It’s a new start for me as a woman and this season of no longer a widow, but of “single” and being ready for what God will be doing in my, through my life with in this new season of my journey. 🌸 . . I am no longer a broken, scared and lonely widow, but a Daughter of God who has been healed, restored and strengthened for this journey ahead. 🌸 . . #Writer #Writing #Blogger #Blog #Hope #Life #Identity #Courage #Strength #Womanhood #Widow #Widowhood #God #EmbracingWidowhood #Fighter #G12USA #Journey #NewBeginning #Confidence #Healed #Restored

🌸Today’s been hard. To be honest, this entire week has been rough, but today... I cried after leaving a place very familiar to Freddy and me because they wondered why they hadn’t seen us in awhile. I told them why. Walking out, I just cried. . . These past few days have been sentimental cries. Cries that come from deep within. They are uncontrollable and have been coming with a sense of anger with them. . . 🌸I think deep down I am still angry that things are the way they are. I think I am still angry at the fact that I became a widow; when all my prayers were for my husband to get better. I think there is a root that still needs to be dealt with. . . I have been so impatient with myself and this whole grieving process. I want it to end. I don’t want to feel this hurt anymore. But I ask myself, “how?” If this month marks a year! . . 🌸Being a widow often feels so lonely, though many people are around me. I miss that part of me. I often wonder when I’ll be able to finally let him go. The answer has not been given yet. . . This is the ugly side of grieving. I am no longer sorry for showing what I feel or how much it still hurts. I know God is good. I know His plans are good. . . 🌸This month, I PRAY isn’t as hard as I feel or think. The 31st of this month will mark one year that he’s been gone. 💔 . . #Widowhood #Grieving #Pain #Brokenness #Hope #God #Future #Love #HopeForWidows #Strength #Courage #Writer #Blog #Blogger #Writing #Womanhood #EmbracingWomanhood #Life

✨🌸”A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.”- Maya Angelou . . 🌸Sometimes you have to walk away from someone or a situation without needing to express the facts you know. There is no need to explain the reasons why you do things you need to do. You simply just do them. The outcome is peace, freedom and contentment. ✨🌸 That, there, is growth.-Stephanie . . #Quote #Truth #Freedom #Hope #Peace #Wisdom #Growth #Maturity #Life #Victimless #Widowhood #EmbracingWidowhood #SurvivingMiscarriage #Writing #Writer #Blog #Blogger #God #Identity #Womanhood

✨🌸New Blog: The Bad, The Good & The Beauty . . After some time I finally write. I am nowhere near the end of this journey of widowhood and I still have a lot to share. . . That’s what today’s blog is about and how this journey is leading me to be the woman I am becoming. Without it I wouldn’t be where I now am.🌸 . . I share with the hopes of it encouraging others. . . ✨🌸Link: LINK IN BIO . . #Blog #Blogger #Writing #Writer #Life #Widowhood #Widow #Hope #Healing #Love #EmbracingWidowhood #Womanhood #Courage #Strength #God #Empowerment #Purpose #Identity

🌸My life has taken a turn for the BEST. I am becoming more involved in my church and so many things are happening. I can honestly say that things are getting better and I am STRONGER. . . 🌸I am truly grateful for everything that I have gone through because without it I wouldn’t be becoming the woman I am right now. I am confident. I am bold. I am strong. I Am More Outgoing. . . 🌸This journey of widowhood is still going. Everyday I miss my husband, but I am beginning to let go and rejoice in this season. Everyday since July 21st Facebook has been reminding me of what it was like last year when he entered the hospital and never came home. It’s been emotional, it’s been hard, but God has always been there. . . 🌸I will continue to share what He’s doing and my journey. I know I am not the only one going through a season like this. You’re not alone. . . #Widowhood #EmbracingWidowhood #Widow #Writer #Writing #Hope #love #Healing #Growth #Courage #Life #God #Confident #Identity #Strong #Womanhood #Blog #Blogger #Writing

✨”You’re an overcomer of many things, when you’re finally happy with being by yourself.” 🌸 . . ✨I am enjoying life, the places I have gone and the people in my life. 🌸 . . #Widow #Widowhood #EmbracingWidowhood #Single #Singleness #Strong #Confident #Courage #Hope #Life #Love #God #SurvivingMiscarriage #Identity #Womanhood #Writer #Writing #Blog #Blogger #DaughterofGod

✨Without setbacks there is no growth. What could you possibly learn of things went right all the time? . . I have been looking back on things from last year; things before my husband’s passing, to the day he entered the hospital and soon that moment I knew he would never be coming home. . . ✨There was a time when the thought of it all would made me want to run and hide all over again because I remember every single emotion and it hurt all over again. . . But there has come a point where it no longer hurts me anymore. I have grown. I have become stronger. I have realized that all this was just like a sling shot. I was pulled back, only to be shot forward. . . ✨I look back and I realize I am not the same person. I have overcome. Not by my own strength, but by God’s. I have learned to rest in Him. I have learned to go to Him when I was scared, when I was alone and when I felt like I couldn’t go on anymore. . . I discovered a new me. Through this season of widowhood. 🌸 . . #Writing #Writer #Blog #Blogger #Hope #Growth #Life #God #Love #Widowhood #Widow #Season #Strength #Courage #Identity #Womanhood #Single #Confident #Changes #EmbracingWidowhood #SurvivingMiscarriage
