LIVE UNAFRAID………………

March 6, 2021

Good morning!

When I was in my unhealthy relationship (1992-1997), I lived so afraid and fearful , I thought that my life would be taken at any time, due to the abuse that I endured on a daily basis. So many wondered, “why don’t she just leave?” One of the reasons that I didn’t leave was because of FEAR. Fear will stagnate you to the point of no return. After removing myself from this unhealthy relationship, a change had come over me from the top of my head to the sole of my feet ( a GOD change). This GOD change caused me to “LIVE UNAFRAID.”

Living unafraid took me almost to lose my life to grasp this concept. I never understood when folk would say when they were in the realm of death or experiencing a near death experience, they see their life flash before the (from as far as they can remember to current). This is something that I experienced when I was being beaten.

Living unafraid takes faith and trust (confidence) in GOD. Living your best life takes living unafraid. In the summer, me and my girlfriend have brunches in my backyard. I always share with her things that I’m enduring , and how my faith is challenged in the process of it. One day I was beauty resting in my Queen room, she texted me and stated, ” I have something for you, but you have to look for it around your house (treasure hunt). I was so excited because my girlfriend is always doing something wonderful for me in such a loving manner, even if it’s a text with a red heart, it’s special to me. I got up and put my clothes on , went outside for the treasure hunt. The treasure hunt mustarded up seven wrist band with the saying: “LIVE UNAFRAID” on it. This was one of the best gifts that she could have given me. She stated:, “This is what you do on a daily basis.” I wear them with a grateful heart daily.

Life will bring challenges, hills, valleys, and mountains. Just know that with GOD, you are well able to “LIVE UNAFRAID.”

ILYTL!
