My name is Carla. My mother was addicted to crack cocaine causing me to leave home at age 15. At the time when I left home, because of no up right and decent training, I always ended up in the wrong place dealing with the wrong person. I went through a lot and I saw a lot.

Five years ago crack finally got the best of my mother, she was dead upon arrival to the hospital dying a horrific and catastrophic death...those were the exact words of the doctor to my brother and I.

Because I had not spoken to my mother in almost over a year, I was haunted with regret and the grief of questioning God; why wasn't I allowed at least 15 minutes to say good bye to her? Because of my desperate hunger of wanting to know why things played out the way they did, I became extremely broken. Due to the brokenness in my life and being exceedingly tried of decisions that landed me in my "then" current state...God was afterward able to reach down and pull me into a state of wholeness... ( Oh, thank You Jesus! )

I began a journey of finding out... WHO AM I, WHAT AM I, and WHY AM I...

I have beat the odds of several near death experiences, extensive sexually and mental abuse. I was two seconds away from being homeless when God made a way out of no way and provided shelter for my children and me. I have finally and recently gotten the victory of an 8 year court battle from an enemy that thought he'd break me, but instead ended up being the greatest blessing because he forced my back so far up against the wall, that in the years and moments of allowing God to fight this battle for me, it taught me how to turn my pain into my power in order to move forward, it showed me the greatness in me, I have learned the TRUE power of walking in a depth of forgiveness and what it really means to wait on the Lord to deliver you in His timing...

Today, I am 38 years old. I am married and the mother to now 6 children. I was a divorced mother of 5 children for years before my God given marriage. My marriage of strength, unity, and wholeness could not have happened, if I had never looked in the mirror and ask myself...who am I, what am I, and why am I. And how do I fix me, so I no longer get in people what I've gotten in the past!



I have personally learned that even though you didn't order it from the menu...it can still show up at your table.

Even though life situations continue to happen..."because that's just life" ...today I am the happiest I have ever been in my whole life. And I now know what it means to have inner peace. The kind of peace that holds your mind in place, when you should be losing it. I am presently working on writing a book of my life story.



Oh, and who I am? I am created in the image of an all mighty God. Formed and fashioned by Him! Created for greatness in every area of my life. I am also a daughter of the Most High King! And today I speak to women about finding yourself and your purpose in life, about overcoming whatever life circumstances throw at you. I speak publicly and privately to women about their situations and... if God did it for me, surely He can do it for you!...Here, take my hand and I will show you what I've learned! ...My name is Carla.
