Becoming comfortable just the way I am changed my life. I won’t change.

Sometimes when I was a little girl I got bullied by other kids badly. I would get called names like “blacky” and “too dark” and “darky” but one day I had a supernatural peace wash over me and it changed my life. My mom once told me my father got very different treatment from the other members of his family because of his skin color. I have grown very comfortable in my own skin now that I am older but that was not true for me as a kid. I got bullied a lot. I was stressed at school in third or fourth grade and a female principal at a Muslim school that even taught us Arabic and French skipped me twice as a nine year old girl. I was a smart girl but just about every compliment I got was like “pretty but dark” or “pleasant and nice but no”. I was healed by the great healer. This peace washed over me, and God’s divine intervention caused me to sleep better. I entered into rest because God my heavenly father said to me “daughter you are healed receive your healing from God”.
