“I was born into tradition,

Raised with prayers I learned by memory,

Faith handed down like an heirloom—

Honored, respected, unquestioned.

I knew about God,

But I didn’t know Him.

Somewhere between obedience and expectation,

My soul began to ask questions my lips were afraid to speak.

I was searching—not to rebel,

But to belong.

Not to abandon God,

But to encounter Him.

And then I met Jesus.

Not as a religion,

Not as a foreign God,

But as Love—

A love that looked straight at my broken places

And didn’t turn away.

He didn’t force me.

He didn’t shame me.

He didn’t rush me.

He called me.

In His presence, I found grace instead of fear,

Relationship instead of ritual,

Freedom instead of striving.

Becoming a Woman of God didn’t mean I stopped honoring myroots—

It meant God rewrote my story.

It meant choosing truth even when it cost me comfort.

It meant standing alone sometimes,

But never abandoned.

I lost understanding from people,

But gained intimacy with God.

I lost approval,

But found identity.

Today, I am not perfect—

But I am planted.

Not flawless—

But forgiven.

Not religious—

But redeemed.

I am a Woman of God

Because Jesus found me when I was searching,

Held me when I was afraid,

And loved me into becoming.

This is not just a change of faith—

This is a resurrection.”
