“There’s no need for anyone to know if I’ve had a rough life or not, just that I’ve survived yesterday and am conquering today”.

Welcome to the new Me!
If you asked me before to tell you something about me, I wouldn’t have much to say, besides that I am an unpublished writer and single mother of three. Today I have a wonderful story to tell.
My name is Yohani Marisela Ham, June 26, 2006 I experienced one of the most beautifully and intimate connection I had ever had in my life, I met my Savior Jesus Christ.
Let me rewind quickly…. Before meeting Him I had been a single mother for 10 years, unemployed and struggling in every way possible. I had become so used to this lifestyle that I seemed to be content with it. But it was this Friday evening, that I realized that I didn't have to settle for living in a state of acceptance of an ordinary life, when I can live in a constant peace of mind, filled with happiness and a tranquil heart in short, an extraordinary life.
But I will admit those struggling years didn’t break me, they made me the woman I am today besides had I been in a happy marriage and been financially stable I would of had never been to the point that brought me to my knees.
Today, I celebrate a life full of great moments, still a single mother, but living in joy. The rest is in God’s hands.

One of my nephews even went as far… Continue reading Me, Myself & I

The Peace Within Me
During the last few weeks I have been putting myself out there like many say, to face my giants in order to be released from guilt, fears and emotional chains.

If I close my eyes, I am taken away into a chapter of my life, I keep in a quiet place of my heart, because in due season that chapter's page turned.

Fearfully & Wonderfully Made
This morning I woke up, drank some coffee and sat at my desk to do homework, strangely my camera came on and I snapped a picture of me. As I looked at myself I realized I looked nothing like I did twenty, thirty years ago, nor am I who I was twenty, thirty years ago. I've… Continue reading Fearfully & Wonderfully Made
