My Story
I am a Jesus Follower, Wife, Momma of 5, and Big Sister.
I spend my days Homeschooling, Running our Business, Working on Projects, and Chasing around a two-year-old.
You Were Created On Purpose & For A Purpose
I was born a blue baby. I guess you could say, I came out the womb a fighter. I almost died, But God. I grew up in a small town Fruitland Park, Fl with my Mom, Step Dad + two younger brothers. My Papa + Grandma & Grandpa lived within a 5 minutes radius. I had a normal childhood, but it was a broken home.
My Grandparents were a huge part of my life, To this day - I will forever be grateful.
In Highschool I majored in Business, Marketing + Health Science and took on Modeling and Cheerleading.
I dated my first boyfriend at 14 that broke my heart but would date on and off for years to come, remaining good friends and later make it up as the best husband💜
In my later teens I turned to drugs + alcohol to cope with a heartbreak and the loss of my Papa.
By 18 I had been date-raped, arrested for an open container, tried Meth for the first time and saw my best friend shoot up.
I had reached an all time low.
All during this time I was working at a restaurant where my Customers would speak to me about Jesus.
I had a few friends invite me to their Church through high school, I knew "of" Jesus, but I didn't "know" Jesus but somehow - I felt Him calling me.
By 19 I was working at a club in Daytona with the weight of the world on my shoulders. My parents were going through a really bad separation and my baby brother was running the streets.
I had my first encounters with helping those that were homeless. Often where I would sit with them in burger king, provide them a meal and hear their story.
Around this time the Lord started to change my heart.
When I became pregnant, I prayed to Jesus to be my Lord + Savior and to guide me as a Mother.
At 20 I lost my Grandpa before my daughter was born.
My Grandpa had spent the most quality time with me growing up </3

I married my first boyfriend/best friend/soulmate 💜
I was 25, My 4th child was two weeks old when my husband came home early to tell me the news about my 19 year old baby brother..
I felt guilt, I felt helpless as my younger brother had to bear the burden of being the one to find our baby brother.
It wasn't until this time in my life of losing my brother where I felt Jesus so strong.
It wasn't until the second anniversary of my brother's death that I went my first day without crying. Being a Full time Momma of 4 while grieving the worst grief of my life was not easy - it nearly killed me.
The Lord was refining me in ways I could never have imagined.
"I watched my family go through it this week, seeing them hurting only made me feel weak, that's when the Lord told me to jump to my feet, we had blessing right in front of our reach.." - Bryann T
At 28, A month after having my 5th child, I got into a physical altercation with my brother's girlfriend after I had enough of him being abused, falsely arrested, and bank accounts drained. My brother and I were arrested later that evening for not only the fight, but under additional false accusations that she placed on both of us.
Last Year my husband and I were facing divorce.
Through Prayer, and a few devoted Christian friends praying fervently - Those prayers were answered and our Marriage was Healed + Restored.
6 months ago, at only 29 - I got the phone call my biological father had committed suicide.
This Broke Me.
Jesus died on the cross for my sins. For your sins.
I have been betrayed by those closest to me. But so was Jesus.
I have felt the pain of grief. So did Jesus.
Before Jesus was handed over, He Prayed in Gethsemane:
"Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, Sit here while I go over there and pray. He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee. Grief and anguish came over him, and he said to them, The Sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me." - Matthew 11:36-38 ;; "My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering from me! Yet not what I want, but what you want." - Matthew 11:42
In our Weakness and Brokenness, is where the Lord can Show His Strength and Mercy.
The next time you want to quit, Remember:
He was Betrayed, Broken, Tortured, Thirsty, Bleeding, and Nailed to the Cross.
Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest
- Matthew 11:28
