God's Faithfulness Through Brokenness

Before my trauma, my life looked stable and promising. I had success, direction, and opportunity, but beneath the surface were unresolved wounds from childhood—struggles with identity, belonging, and pain I didn't know how to process. Those struggles followed me into adulthood, even into my time in the U.S. Navy, where I battled addiction and brokenness. Yet even then, God's grace was at work, guiding me toward recovery and shaping my life in ways I couldn't yet see.
Years later, in 2022, everything changed. I survived a violent assault that nearly took my life. In that moment, when I was at my weakest, I cried out to God—and He saved me. I know without a doubt that His hand was on me.
What followed was a difficult season filled with fear, loss, and emotional pain. I struggled with depression, anger, and isolation. But God never left me. Slowly, He began restoring what was broken—my health, my purpose, and my hope. He placed the right people in my life, opened doors I thought were closed, and reminded me that my life still had meaning.
One of the greatest blessings in my healing has been the Military REBOOT program. Through it, I've found community, truth, and the courage to face my pain with Christ at the center. Hearing others' stories has reminded me I'm not alone, and that real healing is possible.
Today, my faith is stronger than ever. I've learned that God doesn't just save us—He restores us. My life is proof that even in our darkest moments, He is near, faithful, and working all things for good.
