GPT Affirmation:
"Even when it’s hard to believe, your faith carries you forward. You are never walking alone."
This blog is part of my upcoming Mother’s Day book, and we’ve got something special dropping soon: the M.O.T.H.E.R. GPT—a daily source of affirmations, strength, and soul for moms who are doing it all. Stay tuned, because your story deserves to be honored.
I was brought up in church, so faith was sewn into me early. But that didn’t mean it was easy to hold onto after losing my mama or dealing with trauma. Still, I clung to what she taught me—to pray, to believe, to trust that even in the darkness, God saw me. There were moments when all I had was faith, when I whispered prayers through tears, hoping they reached heaven. And somehow, they always did. Faith became my bridge between where I was and where I needed to go.
There were days when faith felt like a fragile lifeline, barely holding on as storms raged around me. Yet, every time I reached out in prayer, I discovered a strength that transcended the immediate pain—a quiet assurance that I was on a path being lovingly guided. This inner dialogue taught me that even in our moments of deepest despair, faith can be the spark that lights our way through darkness.
As I reflect on those challenging times, I realize that every tear, every whispered prayer, became a stepping stone toward healing. Faith taught me that moving forward doesn't mean forgetting or pretending the hurt doesn't exist; it's about embracing vulnerability and trusting that every setback is a setup for a greater comeback. Each lesson from the past is like a page from my mama's wisdom, urging me never to give up, even when the journey seems insurmountable.
In sharing this part of my story, I hope to remind everyone who feels lost or overwhelmed that you are not alone. Faith, even when it seems like all you have, is a powerful force that can transform your struggles into triumphs. The M.O.T.H.E.R. GPT is coming soon, a daily affirmation for moms and all who need that extra nudge to believe in themselves. Let this be a reminder to nurture your spirit and honor your journey.
