MY STORY
Hey loves!
My name is Brenda, and here is my story...
I started this blog because God has put it heavy on my heart for several months.
One thing I have learned these past three years is to be obedient. So here I am sharing my story with you.
I am a mother of three. My oldest child is Angel, a 16-year-old boy who has ADHD. My second child is Alyanis, an 8-year-old girl (8 going on 80, lol). My third child is our chihuahua named Nene.
Three years ago, I lost my job. I had no other income besides my 9-5. One day, I decided to bake a cake. I had been eyeing this recipe for a few months before losing my job. Little did I know this was where my journey was going to begin.
As excited as I was about how delicious this cake tasted, I decided to post a picture on Facebook. The rest was history! I started to receive cake orders, from small cakes to wedding cakes.
Months went by, and we got more and more orders, but it was a constant struggle. I wasn’t making enough profit to pay my bills. I was constantly depressed, and later on, I found out I was also suffering from anxiety.
I lived life constantly, figuring everything out on my own. My favorite words were, "It's ok. I’ll figure it out.” At least, that’s what I believed for many years. I was figuring it out, but God revealed himself to me later that year.
After reading a book my mom had gifted me, I saw God's purpose for my life. God opened my eyes and helped me see that figuring things out was not up to me. It was up to Him!
So here I am three years later, healing from my past traumas and relationships, building a relationship with God, and sharing with you some things God did with me to get to this season of peace, acceptance, and joy. Knowing that God created me for a purpose has helped me view life in an entirely different way.
I went from a mom who just lived life to “exist” to a mom with a purpose. I found myself through God!
I pray my blog inspires you and helps you grow closer to God.
