This morning, my memory feed showed me a post I wrote exactly four years ago, at the dawn of 2019:
“Yes, my family history might have had some dark chapters. But my history doesn’t have to be my future. I don’t have to give my children what my ancestors gave to me. The generational garbage is going to stop with me, now. Goodbye to the old, hello to the new. Come on 2019, I’m waiting!”
I smile now, because I had no idea just how powerfully God was about to answer that declaration. Only weeks later, the Lord connected me with Elijah House prayer ministries, where I began the deep, holy work of untangling bitter roots, exposing judgments, renouncing inner vows, and dismantling false refuges. It was — and still is — a journey of courage and grace. The buck indeed stopped with me.
It hasn’t been easy, but every tear, every confession, every moment of release has been worth it. What the enemy sowed as generational bondage, God has been transforming into generational blessing. Where there was once shame, there is now dignity. Where fear ruled, faith is taking root. Where rejection echoed through the family line, acceptance in Christ is rewriting the story.
📖 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
This verse has become more than words — it is the testimony of my life. God really does make all things new.
🙌Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for inviting me into freedom. Thank You that the chains of the past do not define my future. Continue to uproot every bitter judgment and false refuge, so that the legacy I leave my children is one of blessing, wholeness, and joy. May the story of our family line shine as a testimony of Your redeeming love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Today, I stand here humbled yet hopeful — knowing that the work is ongoing, but the victory is already secured in Christ. My family will not inherit the brokenness of the past, but the beauty of God’s restoring hand.
