Yesterday's Girl, Today's Woman

Have you ever set back and asked yourself, why do I continue going through the same trials and tribulations over and over again? This has been a question I often ask myself on a daily basis.  I asked God, why do I continue committing the same offenses against you time after time?  God's response has always been, "because you continue to try and do things in your own strength and not mines." Recently, I have started to experience true victory because I finally began to allow God to walk me through some of the most difficult moments in my life.  As I continue on this path to freedom, I will be sharing with you the real Samarra Rogers. 

I believe that God has placed it upon my heart to start a blog, not just for my healing and restoration, but for someone else as well.  When the thought of writing a blog was dropped in my spirit, I immediately tried to dismiss it because I do not like writing and I do not like opening up and feeling vulnerable.  However, when the spirit of God speaks I must act and obey.  So here I am......

Initially, I was going to title my blog, "My Personal Journey to Total Freedom/Deliverance from Unforgiveness," but as I continued to seek God on whether or not this was something He really wanted me to do I felt that it should be called, "My Walk To Freedom."  The title will reflect not only my freedom from unforgiveness, but also other areas in my life that I have struggled or continue to struggle with.  I can tell that I have grown in my walk with Christ because never would I have thought I would be sitting on my couch blogging about things that I don't just share with any and everybody. Over the next few months to a year, I will be sharing with you my struggles, trials, tribulations, and most importantly, the process God is taking me through to experience total FREEDOM and VICTORY.  Well that explains my first blog title...Yesterday's Girl, Today's Woman....because only a woman could open up to the world and expose herself so that the next girl could receive total HEALING and VICTORY in her life!

    I'm glad you have allowed the Spirit of God to dwell in you Samarra! This is an awesome thing you're doing! I am also a work in progress...trying to overcome bitterness, spitefulness, and just MY ways period. I do feel God is working on me to mold and shape me to where he wants me to be! I'm surrounding myself around more positive people now. I'm grateful and thankful for my trials and tribulations because I'm just like you, I'm using what I have gone through to inspire someone else. Jesus said if your ways please me I will give you the desires of your heart. I encourage you to keep blogging, keep believing, interceeding, and continue doing whatever God has placed on your heart to do. He definitely is speaking to you and you know you can't run from God especially if he has called you ;-)

Bound by Shame: My Unborn Child

During my undergraduate career, I found myself at a backslidden state in my faith walk.   It was my first time out on my own without the supervision of my mother and I allowed the freedom to get the best of me.   I allowed myself to get caught up in the lies of guys and fall into sexual sin.   Though I had morals and respect for myself by not sleeping with a lot of different guys, I still fell into the trap of the enemy.   After my first year of college, I got involved with a guy that I was dating off and on for about two years.   We engaged in sexual sin and I ended up pregnant.   When I first learned that I was pregnant, I was about 6 weeks along and there was no doubt in my mind that I would be getting an abortion.   In my opinion, neither of us could afford to bear a child.   Furthermore, as sad as it may sound, I had no sense of feeling or emotion about the abortion at the time; all I knew was that I was not going through with having a child and bringing shame upon myself and my f

Numb to the Disease

Have you ever had something happen to you that was so shameful and/or embarassing that you blocked it from your mind and became totally numb to the situation?  Well, I had an experience like this my sophomore year of college.   At that time, I  began  to engage in sexual sin with a gentlemen I was involved with for about two years off and on.  I thought it was the thing to do since I had been with him for some time and the relationship seemed to be pretty exclusive, or so I thought.  After having the abortion, I was scheduled to come back within the next week or two to have a check up done to make sure the procedure went well and that there was no problems or concerns thereafter.  The check up went well, however, they also administered a pap smear where they checked me to see if I had any sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).  A couple of weeks after having the pap smear done,  I received a letter in the mail instructing me to call them because they had some important information to te

The Fatherless Home

Growing up for me had its challenges, as my mother raised my little sister and I without either of our fathers being physically present.  Now, don't mistake me, this is not a blog post to speak negatively about either of our fathers, I simply have the intention of taking you down the road that I traveled while growing up in a "fatherless home." During the first five years of my life, my mother and I lived with my grandmother, aunts, and uncles.  However, at the the age of five, my mother moved out on her own, and my life began to change.  Once my mother moved out, she no longer had the physical and financial support she needed to provide for both of us.  I watched her work hard, day in and day out, to provide us with the necessities needed to survive.  Sometimes, before school, I would have to stay in the home alone just until it was time for me to head out to the bus stop, because my mother did not and could not afford to provide me with a sitter.  I use to think to my
