I was physically attacked in my place of residence in January 2019.
During that encounter, I experienced extreme feelings of weakness and worthlessness.
I felt as if my independence and confidence was taken from me. My attacker was more than double my size and when pinned underneath them, I felt helpless.
By the grace of God, I managed to get out and get away.
From that moment on, I never wanted to feel helpless or weak because of someone else again.
I would never let someone’s opinions or actions define me or steal strength and happiness.
I put my faith in God to help me cope and find understanding. I decided to begin working out and lifting weights.
Not only did this help me deal with my frustrations and make me physically stronger, but it helped me grow mentally stronger as well.
I decided I wanted to have some photos taken to regain some of the power and confidence that was taken from me when I was attacked.
I wanted to incorporate some workout shots into my photo session because it has had such a positive influence on helping me deal with being the victim of physical abuse. 

2 Timothy 1:7- For God hath not given you the spirit of fear, but of POWER.
