Jas and I (B) have known Haleigh nearly the entire time we've been in ministry. We've seen her gifts, her passion, and her love inspire so many. That's why hearing her story inspired us even more. Here's her story:
"I spent a lot of my younger years wondering why I wasn’t enough for my mom. You see, my mom struggled with addiction and as a 12 year old girl I just couldn’t understand why I wasn’t enough of a reason for her to quit this addiction. In the end, the life she was living caught up with her by taking her life and at this point, I was going in to my senior year of high school so confused. Not being enough quickly turned into a pattern. I told myself often that I wasn’t enough, I wasn’t enough for my mom, I definitely wasn’t strong enough, and I wasn’t good enough for the things in life I wanted. Honestly, I told myself I wasn’t enough more times a day than I care to admit. A few years of being lost had passed by and then, God. I sought God for the first time in years and I started asking myself why I wasn’t listening to the words that God says about me. Though, I still struggle with not being enough at whatever it may be, God says I am enough and that's the part of me that is different today. I know that my mom had God in her heart and I know that none of those things I say to myself are actually true. What matters is what God says and He says I’m enough and I can rest easy in that and so can you, you are enough." -Haleigh .
