About Me
Hi, I’m Shaquila! A passionate storyteller sharing my journey of healing, faith, and love with a touch of Southern charm.
Let’s explore life’s adventures together!
My Story
I didn’t think I’d still be here. And there was a moment when I didn’t want to be.
The weight of grief, depression, battling multiple chronic illnesses, recovering from an accident that wasn’t my fault, and waiting on God when it felt like He was ignoring me crushed me. I prayed for healing and felt like heaven was silent. I begged for relief, and it didn’t come the way I expected. I didn’t know how to keep going.
But somehow, I did. God stepped in.
Not in a grand, earth-shattering way. Not in the miracle I had asked for. But in the quiet, relentless way He always does. He kept me here when I didn’t want to be. And slowly, painfully, He walked me back toward life.
Still Wrestling. Still Believing.
I’m Shaquila—a woman who has wrestled with God, questioned His timing, and still chooses to believe. I’ve battled chronic illness, mental health struggles, and the long, slow recovery from a traumatic brain injury. I’ve had to learn how to rest when I want to push, how to trust when I don’t understand, and how to embrace healing even when it feels like it’s taking too long.
Now, I’m in seminary, studying ministry to women, and some days, I still feel like an imposter—like I’m not the person who should be here, doing this work. But God keeps reminding me that He calls the broken, the weary, and the ones who don’t feel qualified.
This blog is where I share it all—the questions, the struggles, the glimpses of grace. It’s where faith meets reality, where healing is messy, and where hope is unrushed but always present.
If you’re in a season of waiting, wondering, or just trying to make sense of your own story—I see you. And I hope this space reminds you that you’re not alone.
