A Testimony of God’s Grace: From Brokenness to Purpose

My life has been a journey of deep valleys and soaring peaks, but one thing has remained constant—God’s grace.

I’ve walked through fires that could have consumed me, yet here I stand, not because of my strength but because of His faithfulness.

I was baptized at age 10, accepting Christ as my Savior and stepping into a faith that would sustain me through trials I could never have imagined.

By 17, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 after a season of mania, depression, and psychosis.

That diagnosis marked the beginning of a long road—17-18 hospitalizations, moments of darkness so profound they nearly broke me, and a suicide attempt that left me clinging to life.

But even in the darkest moments, God never lets go.

At 22, I rededicated my life to Christ and experienced a second baptism—a symbol of His renewing grace.

He opened doors I never thought possible: a thriving SaaS career, financial stability, the chance to travel to Japan, and even the strength to lose 100 pounds.

Yet the road wasn’t without its setbacks.

At 28, another hospitalization and trauma tested me again.

At 30, I reached my lowest point, reeling from the weight of auditory hallucinations and despair, but God met me there, too.

Through it all, I’ve learned that I am not defined by the lies of the enemy but by the truth of Christ’s love.

Today, at 34, I look back and see a mosaic of grace—broken pieces made whole through His mercy.

I’ve launched a writing career on Substack and embraced my calling as a Tzadik—a righteous one, not because of my works, but because of Christ.

God has turned my pain into purpose. I’m passionate about mental health advocacy, helping others who feel unseen, and sharing hope through platforms like Mindfully Compassionate.

My heart is set on building community, creating resources, and showing others that their struggles don’t define them—God’s grace does.

If you’re reading this, I want you to know that God's love is more profound no matter how deep your valley feels.

He is in the silence, the struggle, and the most minor steps forward.

My life proves that He can take the broken and make it beautiful.

Thank you for being part of my journey. I’d love to hear yours, too—because together, we’re stronger, and by His grace, we’re unstoppable.
