The Telling Of Herstory

She was only a child..when given a child. Facing struggles that she knew nothing of, but those before her endured. She embodied the generational curses, the out-dated thinking processes, and the buried pain of the women she came from. Carrying burdens that she had nothing to do with, yet it shaped who she was and the decisions she made.

The misguided actions of her youth, is now the reason why she is with child. The shame and hatred she has for herself weighs more on her than anyone knows. Continuously fighting herself, blaming herself and feeling guilt for her unborn child. Unsure about her future, she feels lost..

 Baby boy is born and thankfully, his village is ready to raise him alongside young mother. He brings so much light, love and purpose to them all. It's like God used this life event for everyone's good. Instead of baby boy being raised alone, he has a whole family there to guide him along. As the years pass by, she tries her best to be a better mom to her child. Still making many mistakes as she goes along, but never giving up. She starts to feel disqualified at times, but God always steps in to show her otherwise..despite what people say. He never allows mother or child to suffer harshly nor are they ever lacking in anything. 

Slowly, she begins tackling the things that have been affecting the generations of women in her linage. Breaking down and destroying the curses, the poor choices in partners, the self sabotage. Healing the oldest of wounds, comforting herself for her ancestors pain and doing away with the flawed ways of thinking and living. She is determined to face the demons that those before her fought..and conquer once and for all. At least for her child's sake. 

 Now more than ever, she is secure within herself and less concerned with the negative, judgmental talk.For all that she has been battling behind the scenes, she won't allow anyone to take away from her accomplishments. Life isn't going as planned, but that doesn't stop her.  This journey is hers alone. Timelines shift, and paths are altered..but that's God's way of editing our plans for our good. She finally accepts her past and is no longer uncertain of the future. As the present ticks on, she realizes that she is free, and ready to create her own reality. Using the gifts that God has given her, the possibilities are infinite. The first step is learning to believe in herself. 

No longer a caged bird, bound by her truth. She now sings, a personal tune..especially for the youth.

...Then until now..This is Herstory...💜
