Recovering After Hurricane Melissa

Devastation Struck  On October 28, 2025 , Jamaica experienced the most devastating Hurricane known as Melissa . As a teenager, I experienced Ivan but I was now ready to face a new Category 5 contender known as Melissa. Her only counterpart I knew about was " Wild Gilbert " which crippled the island in 1988.  When I heard that it would severely impact the Western part of the island , I went on an online prayer vigil on October 27, 2025 and I repented on behalf of my household. Melissa visited my home at approximately 1:30 pm in the afternoon on October 28 in all her rage and fury. She tried to take the awnings on the verandah but my family and I wrestled with her to lose her hold. By the grace of God when she passed, we escaped with only a pear tree uprooted and 1 of the awnings falling off which we were able to secure. There was a bit of water that came in one of the rooms but to God be the glory, everything else was in tact. It will be an experience that my daughter and I...

My Journey from Hopelessness to Healing Through God's Grace

REMEMBERING THE PAST



In 2016, I was not yet baptized but I always believed in God. I was a hopeless case when I found out that I was pregnant; wondering if I will ever make it as a single mother. 😓 I was beating myself up about the decision I made. I wasn't ready mentally for this new season of my life. Postpartum took a toll on me in the first few weeks after giving birth in 2017.


I wanted to end my life and even my child’s life. I had to cry out to God for him to heal me as I was mentally broken and overwhelmed. I felt alone and worthless and I kept wondering why me?


 However, fast forward to 2020 and I am living my life according to God’s will. Everything is now falling into place. His ways are better than my ways. Motherhood is a part of my purpose. Since the birth of my daughter, there has been a shift in my life. I got baptized in 2018, after I decided that there was nothing left in the world for me to rely on and I knew that God was always with me. 💗


He was there when the suicidal thoughts ran through my mind. He was there when I constantly cried myself to sleep trying to figure it all out. 


My daughter is now three years old and she is flourishing. I am doing my best to raise her in the person that God called her to be. She is truly a blessing.

 I am stronger knowing that I am a child of God and all my validation comes from Him. I now have a peace that passes all understanding.


GROWTH

During these past three years, I have also grown mentally and emotionally. I have learnt to forgive. I have forgiven all those who have hurt me ( even my child’s father). As the Bible says in Matthew 6: 14-15:  "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

I am still here learning and improving as a single mother. I thank God for his grace as He has kept me through it all. God has been my source of comfort, my provider and King. I stand on His word and I read it daily.

NEVER GIVE UP

If you’re going through a tough season right now, just remember that God will never leave you, cry out to Him and He will help you.  As  Romans 8:31 says, "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us,who can be against us?"

Through the midst of the storm, there will be a calm. When you are ready to throw in the towel, just hold on to His word.
