@az.family.guide: There’s experiences that will shape the rest of your life, and your entire worldview. A challenge so tough you have no idea how you’ll come out the other side, or if you even will. This was one of those for me. So independent, so active, a young mom with a daughter looking up to me. But now, 8 years later, it’s a distant memory. It never defined my future, as much as I worried that it would. You know what else happened in 2017? I went to church for the first time since I was a kid 🙏❤️ god can take your lowest moments, what was meant to bring you down, and turn it for good. Sharing this in case it helps even one person going through a struggle right now look forward to a brighter future. I had absolutely no idea how bright it was going to get for me 🥹 ❤️
