Brandy’s Story

Building 429 — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 03:02:21 +0000

I’ve had several conversations throughout my career with people who have to carry the word “terminal” with them, and that conversation is never easy. Meeting with Brandy was not a typical thing. The first thing that struck was how raw her emotions were as we spoke. She talked about being a mother and wondering why God would allow her to leave her children alone. Maybe it was fortuitous that I had very little to offer.

The only thing I could offer was that in moments like these we must believe that all things work together for the good of those who are called according to his purposes, and that God must have a huge plan for her and her children. I was able to share my life story with her, and how if I could change any of the desperate situations I found myself in as a child, I wouldn’t at all. I shared how my story made me who I am, and how every disappointment, every loss, how every time I felt alone drove me to the arms of God.

It’s very possible that without the loss of my parents marriage, or without the failings of my father and mother I would not be in that very moment a person encouraging her. I was so encouraged that yet again a life that I’ve lived somehow brought encouragement to someone struggling with the greatest fears of life. My prayer is that you and I continue to remember how much life living Unashamed truly gives.

Tori’s Story

Building 429 — Wed, 02 Mar 2016 02:57:57 +0000

Meeting Tori and her mother was like meeting freedom. Tori was completely abandoned as a child and left for dead. Something that maybe I might be ashamed of if it had been my story, but interestingly enough, she never stopped smiling even when she told me the crazy story of her life.

The same was true of her new mom. Somewhere along the way, Tori must’ve stopped wishing for a different life and decided to embrace the one she was blessed with today. When she went on to tell me that she had spent some time with her real life grandmother, the same one that urged her mother to abandon her, and forgiven her as well, I didn’t see anger or pain, but true forgiveness.

There is so much more to tell about Tori, and the story is going to be incredible when it’s finished, but for now I’ll say this: She inspired me to own my story to a different degree, to be more honest, and to embrace the blessing of living in light of a broken past. Thank you Tori, you helping me to remember that I must live #UNASHAMED.
