Your Victory Awaits: Breaking Cycles and Reclaiming Purpose

The more we speak His truth, the less room there is for doubt and fear to take hold. So often, we don’t believe Jesus is working for our good. We don’t believe we’re worthy of His love or that we carry anything valuable inside us. But here’s the truth—you don’t know what will change, what victories are ahead, or what your purpose truly is. The victory is already yours. The battle is already won.

Some people say, “Everything happens for a reason.” Does it? I don’t know. I believe in generational curses and generational change. I believe when we step out into the world with purpose, we can stop the cycles of pain and anger. We impact our children and their children by how we handle life. Are we shoving down emotions, ignoring our pain, or letting anger take over? Or are we choosing to break the cycle? Sometimes we’re so sure we’re right that we don’t even notice where we’re wrong.

God’s Word is powerful. The people He places around us are powerful. Community has the ability to transform our hearts, minds, and circumstances. But without Him, we’re fighting battles we’ll never win. There’s a void inside us that only He can fill. When you find your purpose in Him, you begin to move forward, but it’s not easy. It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do. Yet, there’s a knowing deep in your soul that says, “It’s time.” And until you move, that ache will remain.

That step forward can feel like pain—but it’s a pain that transforms you. The loss of your child has given you a superpower that no one else can have. That power comes from the pain you’ve endured, and it is uniquely yours. I don’t want you to fight alone. You have already been equipped. The enemy knows your potential. He knows your gifts and will do everything he can to hold you back.

But Ephesians 2:6 tells us we are raised up with Christ. We are already positioned in authority, and every enemy that comes against us is already defeated. It’s not about perfection or being “good enough.” It’s about surrender. Jesus doesn’t need perfection—He wants you. Even in your sin, your mess, and your imperfection, He loves you.

Victory isn’t about what the world sees. It’s about living fully as who you are. It’s about finding comfort and peace in the midst of loss. It’s about discovering what becomes syrup to your soul as you live through the loss of your child.

You don’t have to stay in this pain. When you stop reading this, I want you to say out loud, “I do not have to stay here.” Say it again and again. “I do not have to stay here.” Then go find a song that lifts you up. If you need one, listen to “I Believe That We Will Win” by Pitbull. Dance, cheer, and look in the mirror. High five yourself and say, “I’ve got this. I will win.”

And when you do, send me a message: “Hey, Julie, I just high-fived myself.” Let me know how it felt, because you’ve got this. If you do nothing else today, do that for me—and more importantly, for yourself.
