I would say today you are going to learn to rest in the truth of who you are, not just your hopes and dreams, the achievements and shiny things, but the things that have been hard and challenging.
Today, you're going to find a way to rest in that, embrace it, accept it, and then allow it to propel you into a big, beautiful future.
I'm ready.
Yes, I got pregnant at 13 years old.
I had my son at 14 years old, which I think is a staggering sentence, no matter whose child you are.
But the added complexity of my father being a prominent leader in faith and
I think further intensified the sense of shame, the sense of guilt that I had to wade through for about 10 years.
And I think also that was heightened by this fact that like, though I have this family that is huge in the faith world, I never really felt like like one of the good girls, one of the God girls, one of the church girls.
And so in many ways, it felt like this pregnancy experience.
just confirmed a pre-existing insecurity that for some reason I didn't fit.
And so my pregnancy is when I accepted like, okay, this is not for me.
I'm going to figure life out on my own.
And I'm going to let all the good church people do what good church people do.
And I'm just going to figure everything else out.
Well, God had different plans, I think.
I didn't.
I thought the worst thing that was going to happen was like, I'm going to get in trouble.
Like, I'm going to be grounded.
We didn't even have cell phones at the time.
Like, oh, my gosh, you're going to take the antenna out of the TV and take the phone cord out of the wall.
