This Is Me, As I Am

2025 has been a year, and we are only seven months in. Not sure if I’ve mentioned in my previous post, but I come from a family of 9; 5 boys and 4 girls. In January 2011, I lost my first brother, who was the oldest boy of the family. In April 2016, the second youngest passed away. By the time they got him to the hospital, it was too late.

Here we are in July 2025, and the third of five has passed. His passing occurred on the last Sunday of the month of May. It was expected, but that doesn’t mean it hurts any less.

Three out of five brothers are gone. How am I holding up? I’m not sure. One thing I do know is that I take it one day at a time. I have looked at so many photos that my mom kept. Photos of childhood memories. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t come from a perfect family, we had issues, but even in those issues, the love for my brothers was there, is there. As I watch his adult children process, it brings back memories of when my dad passed when I was 19 years old.

I take each moment day by day. I cry when I feel like it, I pray without ceasing, and I allow my Heavenly Father to minister to me during those times.

How Am I Doing? Today, as I write this, I am doing well. So, my prayer and wish for those of you who are not doing well; take it one day at a time. Know that there is someone out there who is thinking about you and is concerned for your mental health and your well-being. Please know that this blog is not just about me, but it is for all of you.

I can only write about my story and my emotions, but if somewhere in this story you hear or see yourself in it, please feel free to reach out. I am not a licensed therapist, but I have connections to many. What I am is a woman chosen by GOD to help heal those who are in pain. What I am is an advocate for those who do not feel like they have the tools or the knowledge to advocate for themselves. What I am is one of the Authentically Anointed daughters of The Most High GOD!

HE is here if you want to meet with HIM. HE is here if you want to give your life to HIM!

HE IS HERE!
