Swipe left to see how far I’ve come… During this time, I was depressed, drinking every day, eating whatever, and completely disconnected from myself. I knew of God, went to church, could even quote His Word but behind closed doors, I was fighting for my life. Spiritually numb. Emotionally exhausted. Mentally slipping. So much was happening around me that I stopped caring altogether… until one day, God stepped in. He didn’t just rescue me, He delivered me. He stripped me of what was killing me and gave me what would carry me, and now I look back at this version of me with compassion… because she survived long enough to be transformed. They see the oil, but they don’t know the cost. They don’t know the seasons I cried in silence, obeyed without applause, and warred just to keep going. This anointing wasn’t gifted, it was pressed out of me. God crushed me privately before He ever trusted me publicly. If you’re in your crushing season right now… don’t give up. There’s oil coming out of this. You won’t always be here. 🩷 Comment “oil” if this hit your spirit.
