Life has taught me that I am not always in control. Life is full of experiences, lessons, heartbreaks, and pain. It has also shown me love, beauty, possibility, and a new beginning. I decided to embrace it all. My story is unique, and I hope it encourages others. My pain has a purpose; for each mile, I have endurance, I have encountered hardship. I never knew my first mile would turn into 26.2 miles full of joy, tears, and happiness. On and off the course, my personal life suffered from depression and guilt. Three years ago, I was sexually assaulted, and I put myself in a shell where I never wanted to open up or be around other people. Questioning the work of God and did not understand the path he was taking me on. This photoshoot represents peace, love, and happiness. Through the trials and tribulations, I have endurance not knowing that God was putting me through a master class for my life. God cleared the path so I could run the race set before me. Running has helped me get closer to God and take life one day at a time. I am constantly celebrating how Beautifully Flawed I am! I decided to get up and stand up because I am not a prisoner of my past anymore! Your painful past can open doors to a hopeful future.
