I would like to share with you why I decided to create my two new groups.
I seem to have dual callings on my life and I thought they'd be best explained by my chest tats.
If you have gone to my profile then you have seen in my bio my military - inspired description. That is because for my entire life I have been in a war and everyday is a battle. In order to externalize my inner fight, the words on my chest are survivor, fighter, soldier, and warrior and no I have never been in the military. My war consists of my survival of trauma and mental illness. My battles are my daily efforts to find and maintain equilibrium.
The cross in the middle has the semicolon placeed on top. The reason for this combo is because not only do I fight my own battle but I do what I can to #StopTheStigma by advocacy and education. The cross because it is my strongest weapon against my enemy and because I have been called to alleviate whatever pain I can in others through #IntercessionforIllness . I have been called to be Jesus' hands and feet and His ambassador on this earth.
I desire to inspire others to fight these battles alongside me. Our enemy is fierce and we need as many as we can get as many soldiers as we can get to fight the good fight. A lot is riding on this. It is literally life and death. I don't want to see anymore lost to our adversary. Suicides can be prevented if we band together to be difference makers.
Any takers?
