I overcame



ln the midst of it all l chose to rise above, it has not been an easy road being a mother of three, unemployed and broken, l had to start by wiping off my tears and making a decision that l would not let what happened to me define me, l started by thinking positive, talking positively surrounding myself with positive people and took the negativity out of my life, l became the most grateful person appreciating the littlest thing that happened to me and glorifying God for it, l am at peace and happy now, l have always heard  people say you can never buy happiness and surely l have experienced it in my life because l have never had to pay a dime for it. Every opportunity l get l make the most of it no matter how small, l always thought you have to have become very successful and have material things to be able to share your journey but I thought l will not wait for that but share every step, this might just encourage someone in the same situation as mine, having survived all sorts of abuse in their past marriage and are starting from nothing, all l can say is the change starts with you, this is just the beginning of my story from brokenness to wholeness. PS never forget to rise above it all!
