A Journey of Surrender

I was lost , lonely trapped in a fallen state that led me down a path of destruction. Burdened by sin, depression, frustration, and confusion, I found myself caught in a cycle of self-doubt. I had adopted an identity that wasn’t truly mine constantly comparing myself to others and questioning my very existence. I was searching for meaning, feeling hopeless in my uncertainty, and wondering why I was even here.

Then, in a moment of desperation longing for something more everything changed. What seemed like weakness was actually an act of surrender, an invitation I didn’t even realize was available to me. In that moment, Jesus met me. I was lost, but He found me and called me by name.

While my mind raced to fill the emptiness I felt deep inside, I didn’t realize that He was already at work—ordering my steps, answering my cries for help, and guiding me when I thought I was beyond saving.

And then, it all clicked.

The void I had tried to fill with everything else could only be filled by the One who created me Elohim. In that instant, I realized the missing piece I had been searching for wasn’t a “thing” at all it was a relationship with the Creator who formed me with intention and purpose, who knew me better than I knew myself.

For most of my life, I believed the lie that beauty was only found in outward appearance. But God looks at the heart. I’ve learned to trust the God of the process and to celebrate the small victories knowing that I am more than a conqueror because of who my Creator is: YAHWEH.

He is the One who gave me the strength to transform my aspirations, talents, and gifts into a God-reality according to His will. And from that revelation, Encounter Artistry was born.
