Seven powerful truths to remind you that your story is not over, your pain is not your identity, and God is still writing.
Still Here
7 Truths Life Could Not Take From Me
A Personal Word
Hey Family,
Before you download a book, join a support group, or attend a ministry event, I want you to know something.
You are still here.
I don't know your entire story. I don't know what you have survived. I don't know what you're carrying today.
But I do know this: The fact that you're still here means something.
Life may have hit hard. Grace hit harder. And the same God who has carried me through illness, grief, disappointment, caregiving, unanswered questions, and seasons that lasted longer than I thought I could endure is able to carry you too.
This guide is my gift to you. I pray it encourages you.
— Pastor Nicole Washington
Seven Truths
What You'll Discover in This Guide
You Survived What Was Supposed to Destroy You
Take a moment and look back. Not at what hurt. Look at what survived. You're still here. That alone is evidence that God has been faithful.
Your Pain Is Not Your Identity
Pain happened. Loss happened. Disappointment happened. But those things do not get to define who you are. Only God has naming rights over your life.
God Was with You in the Dark
Some seasons felt lonely. Some prayers felt unanswered. Some nights felt endless. But God's silence was never God's absence. He stayed.
Your Scars Tell a Story of Healing
A wound is open. A scar is healed. Your scars are evidence that God brought you through something. Do not be ashamed of your survival.
Your Purpose Has Not Expired
As long as there is breath in your body, there is purpose in your life. Your assignment is not finished. God is still working.
You Do Not Have to Carry Everything
Some burdens belong to God. You were never designed to carry the entire weight of the world. Release what you cannot control.
Your Story Is Not Over
This may be a chapter. But it is not the ending. God is still writing. And He writes beautiful endings.
The Still Here Creed
I am still here.
I am not forgotten.
I am not abandoned.
I am not defeated.
I am not finished.
God is still working.
God is still healing.
God is still restoring.
My purpose remains.
My future remains.
My hope remains.
I am still here.
