Underneath Broken Beautiful

What’s underneath this story of Broken Beautiful? thank you for asking!! I want you to take a close look for yourself just in the pictures alone. The other highlight I would like to bring up about her is that God used her to save me last year from myself again. God used Anna time and time again! She is and will always be my little superhero!! last year was a whirlwind when we moved maybe 7 times and Annamarie was very brave and even rocking it to worship music while we were in between trying to find our path. That little girl has experienced things that most little girl should not but she’s strong. She’s BRAVE she’s RESILIENT . She’s BOLD in the Lord. But God is not limited by time and he can use anyone or anything to divert us and put us on the right path. I’m so grateful that God has brought my daughter in my life along with my son Gabriel. It’s been a rocky road the last 38 years 39 years but I can say today that I’m finally free from self hate.

The Lord used my daughter to save my life more times than I can count on. I found out I was pregnant with Anna when I was completing treatment program and at the time living in a sober living women’s facility. I would like to say that I walked with God perfectly that pregnancy but I did not. I would like to say that I was clean and sober every second of every day that I was pregnant, but I was not. The truth is God has forgiven me. My daughter is perfectly healthy and I have finally forgiven myself for the mistakes that I made, and God has released me from that shame and he has set me free. On September 20, 2018, God took the desire to abuse substances to escape the pain of my past, from me the day that she was born and I’ve never looked back. on that day I chased Jesus like I did the drugs and I’ve never been the same. I went from a drug addict to a Jesus addict, and no one was stopping me. I’m so grateful to Jesus for what a miracle she has been in my life. She brings joy to everyone that she comes in contact with her, and there’s never a moment that she’s not smiling or cracking a joke.

This little girl knows when mommy is off. She’s prayed for me when my neck was broken from a work injury that required a complete total neck reconstruction surgery 2021 and three brutal years of rehabilitation. I could not move much the first year and I very dependent on others for self care along with our six month old son that was removed from breastmilk suddenly in my toddler was adjusting to not having mommy may bathe her and take care of her but someone else. To say the least, it was a tough year. She prayed for me everyday by placing her hands on my body and declaring me healed day in and out IN JESUS NAME!! I had good days and hard days but she was always there with a smile and a hug. Jesus is always speaking through Anne-Marie to me.

The other highlight I would like to bring up about her is that God used her to save and set me free last year from myself (addiction to toxic relationships, procrastination, and 30 years of unresolved grief and a lot of shoved down unforgiveness) again. I see now that God used Anna time and time again! She is and will always be my little superhero!! last year was a whirlwind when we moved maybe 7 times in a years time and Annamarie was very brave and even rocking it with me to worship music while we were in between trying to find our way. She is STRONG. She’s BRAVE she’s RESILIENT . She’s BOLD in the Lord. This lesson to me today is God is not limited by time, by people, by size and he can use anyone or anything to divert us and put us back on the right path with him. I’m so so grateful that God has brought my daughter in my life along with my son Gabriel. It’s been a rocky road the last 39 years battling addiction, but I can say today that I’m finally free from self hate. God has showed me this view of this mountain for years, but I’ve never knew that I would actually see it and today was the day. This will be my spot with him. I wanted to share it with you and God showed me a vision and that’s exactly what me and my daughter did this afternoon while of course little man was asleep. Ha ha. monkey see monkey do!! Ha ha! I give all the glory to my Lord and my savior Jesus Christ. I pray that this blesses you today what a beautiful creation he has created! Wow! We are truly blessed!
