Woman of Purpose/ Realtalk

Woman of Purpose is looking for
Woman to talk about Anxiety /Fear/ Depression.

I want to get real and have authentic conversations about Anxiety/ Fear/ Depression. So many people are dealing with this. Inside and outside the church. Yet nobody wants to talk about it! Cause it would shame us, or mean we have a lack of faith in God and ourselves. So we suffer in our own silence, embarrassed to share and open up about what is really going on inside.

We are living in an age where we all want to be perfect for the world outside, be the best version of ourselves, have our own businesses, be our own bosses, we want to have the perfect family, drive the latest car, wear the newest Gucci bag, have the latest iPhone, and live in the perfect house. We sacrifice our time, our health, our whole being trying to keep up with a lifestyle we can show off with. But to whom? For who? We want to follow everything and everybody and we want to be followed by everything and everybody cause we don't want to miss out. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with wanting to have a luxury lifestyle and having big goals but we have to keep it real. Every goal comes with a sacrifice. And we shouldn't hide away or feel a shame from sharing the ugly, painful, raw sacrifices as well.

We live in a, (I call it microwave age) of producing, being perfect, being the best without going through the season of falling, grieve, molding, learning. We want instant gratification. All of this brings so much pressure, that we often times forget what it really means to live life in the moment. To be transformed from the inside out, to reflect, to build character and to work on our relationships. I too experience the pressure of life, the pressure of where I am in life, the pressure of time, the ticking of my biological clock.

Yes, my painful truth! Being a 39 single woman has been putting so much pressure on me.

I too have been dealing with depressed feelings and thoughts cause I felt like a failure. Why didn't I achieve all that I prayed for, all that I worked for, all that I studied for, all that I believed for.

Why was I in this place. Did God forgot about me? Did He oversee me? Why is this single season, taking soooo long. What do I have to learn from all of this? Why do I have to deal with these health issues? Why is my feminity/womanhood being attacked? What's going on? I felt as if my body gave up on me? It felt like losing all control over my life. Too many layers I could not carry any more. All of this brought me in a dark place, I daily fight hard to not fall back into. Life often times can be hard, difficult and painful. And yet we still manage to walk around with a smile on our face as if everything is perfect. I have been guilty on this 2. More and more I'm learning to open up and be real about my journey and the season I'm in.

I had moments where I felt like I'm just gonna stop and let it all go. Being tired of fighting all the time. Then God sends a word, a message, a sister, a brother or even a heart of a total stranger. Letting me know not to give up, not to give in. He shows me He is not letting go of me and my life still has purpose, even though I can't see it all the time. Sometimes I only see one part of the vision I need to work on. That is then what I try to do. One step at a time. Through my pain, through my struggles, through my own journey I try to encourage others, try to listen and try to stay positive. And one thing that I experienced throughout the Poetry&Talkshows, throughout my stormy seasons how encouraging, how empowering, how hopeful it is to share our stories, to talk about our feelings, to be authentic and to be real with one another.

That is what I also want for my Woman of Purpose Talkshow. I want to keep it real. Life comes in seasons, the Ups and Downs. We can't only talk about our Ups and ignore the Downs. They both matter, that is what forms us to become strong and purposeful ladies. I recently heard about the 3 P's. Your Past, Your Pain forms Your Purpose. Our Purpose is birthed from the pain of our past. God uses everything for our good. Some powerful revelation to think about. That is why I want to have these conversations to talk with other ladies that have been dealing with anxiety, fear, or depression and hear how they have been tackling it or how they live through it right now! What keeps them going, what is it that gives them hope back again, how are they dealing and fighting to get their lives back?

If you are a Woman that can relate to this, do you have your own journey of fighting giants, feelings, emotions, sickness, loss, disappointments anything that has led you to a place of anxiety and/or depression? If you are a woman who is not afraid to be open and authentic about her life journey and that would love to inspire and encourage another woman with her life testimony I would love to hear from you.

Send me a message and I will get back to you.

Let's keep it real! ❤️

 Note: This is a call for all woman, not just black woman.

Are you happy with who You are?

Your eyes, your ears, your voice, do you know that you where perfectly created and formed, exactly in the way God wanted you to be. He sees the ability’s in you and knows what He can do through you? A lot of times when we look at ourselves we only see the things we cannot do, that's also the way it is in the world today. Sometimes people only look at you for the things that you can and what you have achieved. God looks at you and sees all kind of ability’s and opportunity’s.
He also want us to look at our self like that, and that we stop complaining when He call us to step out in greatness. Many times we think, I’m not good enough, I don't have that agree to do that, our we have failed for some things in the past and now we are afraid to try it again. Don’t you know that those who have success are those who never gave up. God did not give us a spirit of  fear but of  power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 tim 1:7)
We need to stop thinking like victims, stop looking at our problems like they are giants. Instead of that we need to focus and know the greatness of God that lives inside of us. God created us just the way He wanted us to be, He gave us all different kind of talents to use it, to multiply it, to use it in this dark world to make a difference in the world. God loves us and wants good things for us. God loves you and has a hopeful future for you! Not only for me, but also for you!
God is willing and more than able if you just believe. What your mind and heart believes, that is who you are and who you will always be. Stop believing the negativity you have heard all your life or what people have been telling you. But start believing the promises God has for your life!
