Pressed, Not Defeated

  We just finished the Daniel Fast, and it seemed as though I was being pressed on every side. For a moment, I found myself becoming frustrated. Everything that mattered to me appeared to demand my attention all at once. The distractions felt relentless. Then something shifted. I believe it was something my nephew said that reminded me of Jesus' own experience. After fasting for forty days and forty nights, Satan came to tempt Him. The enemy didn't show up before the fast—he came afterward, attempting to weaken Jesus' resolve and redirect His focus. In that moment, I began to see my own situation differently. This wasn't simply a series of unfortunate events. It felt like another attempt by the enemy to pull my attention away from what matters most—to distract me from prayer, to weaken my faith, to consume my thoughts with the things closest to my heart until I lost sight of God's presence.

The Day It All Broke (PT.1)

-




“May 18th, 2005. I’ll never forget that date.
 It was the last time I ever worked a 9 to 5 job.
 What they didn’t know… was that up until that day, I had been bottling up everything—silently dealing with the weight of my choices, my pain, and trying to keep it together.
 No one could help me. Not because they didn’t try… but because I was already drowning on the inside.”

Sometimes it looks like we’re functioning, but inside we’re falling apart.
This was the day my life changed forever.

Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

What felt like the end was actually a divine turning point.
I am never alone in my struggle—God is with me.
