Hey Embrace'rs

Happy Sunday! Today has been a great day for me. the words I've received was  Get Up, Pick up your mat, and Just Walk. I went to church today to get my daily feeding of the word and something so miraculous and life changing happened. My children also gotten the chance to witnessed. I experienced being baptized again but as an adult. i once was baptized as a infant through a catholic church.  however, I was still a bit skeptic towards the whole thing. but now I made the CHOICE to submerge my sins in water and come out white as snow and officially become a follower of Jesus.
Embrace'rs, Don't mean to sound all righteous and holy. however,  moments like this are what  most of us,women, that are moms, or motherly figure raising little humans need to hear. I lived my life as an abused woman, inflicted with infidelities, ashamed to share that with my family and friends, this kept me in isolation for years. when i did come out to be with loved ones. my abuser, also the father of my kids would begin his toxic behaviours.  Imagine dealing with that then come home and he sleep peacefully while I'm here anxious and nervous of what he wanted or better yet, what I've done. As for me, i did not want to separate the dynamic of the two parent household.

 So that was my reason for staying. yet my reason for leaving was far greater than the reason for staying and it was I FINALLY WANTED TO BE HAPPY and Express to my kids, what love really looks like. Having two parents (mom &dad) in the same house, but  it doesn't express the love God express to us is not real love. Now it was not easy; believe me in between then and now I've done took him back about three times maybe more. Yet this time i am STANDING MY GROUND!! the holy spirit has helped tremendously in doing so.
there are plenty to say on this note, however i am going to save the juicy parts of my story  for the next story time! I love you. Stay Safe. Stay blessed. 
Keep in mind, Love is the new religion and Unity is the mission. Embracing yourself is the key to loving yourself. Aban Iseini

Hey Embrace'rs

Good Day! My name is Eliud Maura Guzman . I am 31 years old. I was born and raised in the city of Brooklyn NY. I am a Garifuna American woman with two children, ages 9 and 4. I am the 4th of 6 sibling. I currently reside with my mother, my uncle, my two kids,and  now my younger cousin( whose not so little) in  a two bedroom apartment in the Marlboro houses in the section of Gravesend Bk. For about 5 years now, I've been living with my mom. Let's talk about no quiet time or space for yourself, really?.. unless you lock yourself in the bathroom for about 20 minutes.lol. Which also happens to be my prayer closet.
Before i moved back to my mom's, I lived with my then fiance, also the father of my kids in South side, Jamaica Queens. That alone, will need several time with you all. Yet i promise is all going be worth it when i tell my story is to simply rejuvenate the sense of hope,  strength, and courage for us women and moms to Don't Ever forget YOUR crown when it comes to loving someone else.

 Because you matter! Your worthiness is much higher and precious than any material items or penis in this world. Well that is all for tonight. Until next time. Take care of yourself. Stay Blessed. Good Night! I love you all! Embracing yourself is the key to loving yourself.
