Still Standing

Submitted on Jul 15, 2026 by TrulyBlessed

At 48 I look back at my life and it's clear that the only reason I'm standing here with my Beeb and NuNu is because Jesus literally has saved me. From being a victim of multiple sexual assaults, drug addiction, domestic violence, jail, being diagnosed with HIV while in jail and pregnant in 1998, given ten years to live and still standing strong. All glory to God, still undetectable to HIV at over 20 years, it is by the Grace of God. I may have my bad days, but who doesn't? Thank you Beeb and NuNu for being by my side. ❤️
