Living My Exodus.
Faith didn’t just save me—it led me out.
Worship Was My Way Out
I love listening to sermons—but there is something different that happens to me when I worship and praise Jesus.
Worship reaches places in me that words alone never could. It goes deeper than teaching. Deeper than understanding. Many times, this is how Jesus knows He can get to me.
I’ll weep.
I’ll cry.
I’ll sway.
Because I’m in the Spirit.
When Worship Doesn’t Make Sense to Everyone
For some people, that may be hard to understand.
But if you knew my true testimony—
If you knew the trauma…
The grief…
The control I once allowed the enemy to have over my life…
And everything I walked through just to be standing here today—
You’d understand why I say I am living my Exodus.
What Exodus Means to Me
Exodus means to leave. A mass departure.
In the Bible, the book of Exodus tells the story of the Israelites escaping slavery in Egypt—moving from bondage and oppression toward freedom and the Promised Land.
That story isn’t just Scripture to me.
That story has been my life.
Years of bondage.
Years of oppression.
Years of darkness in my mind and spirit.
But God…
But God was my rock when I felt like I had no one.
He kept showing me the truth—about what I was doing, how it was affecting my life, and what needed to change. And when He revealed it, I had a choice to make.
I had to leave.
I had to walk through my wilderness seasons.
And every single time, God made a way.
He never allowed anything to destroy me.
He never let the enemy win.
The People God Sends Along the Way
Along this journey, God placed people in my life for seasons—people who helped carry me when I couldn’t carry myself.
And then… He placed lifelong people in my life.
People who reflected who I really am—through His eyes.
Since meeting my husband, Robert, I’ve seen God’s favor in a deeper way.
And when I say that, I don’t mean perfection.
Favor Isn’t Perfection—It’s Alignment
Favor doesn’t mean a life without struggle.
Favor means God placing the right people in your life to walk with you through it.
Through my husband, God has shown me what it looks like to be:
- Covered
- Supported
- Redirected when I lose my way
There will be moments when Robert lets me down.
Times when he won’t have the answers.
Moments when he can’t carry the weight I’m feeling.
And that’s okay.
Because he was never meant to replace God in my life.
Instead, God uses him to point me back to Him.
Leaving Old Patterns Behind
That’s part of my Exodus, too.
Leaving behind the need to be saved by people.
Leaving behind the expectation that another human can heal what only God can.
Walking away from old patterns of:
- Control
- Dependency
- Disappointment
And stepping into a relationship that reflects God’s order, not my old bondage.
This Season Looks Like Freedom
Through my husband, I see God’s favor because I’m reminded daily where my help truly comes from.
When I’m weak, I’m redirected to prayer.
When I’m overwhelmed, I’m reminded to trust God.
When I forget who I am, I’m pointed back to my purpose.
That’s not a coincidence.
That’s God.
This season looks like:
- Freedom
- Growth
- Trust
It looks like a woman who has left Egypt, walked through the wilderness, and is still moving forward—hand in hand with her husband, but fully anchored in God.
Worship That Speaks to My Spirit

A Call to You
If worship has ever carried you…
If God has ever led you out of something you thought would break you…
If you’re still in your wilderness but choosing to trust Him—
I encourage you to turn on a worship song today and let God meet you right where you are.
Don’t rush it.
Don’t analyze it.
Just surrender.
