A Little About Tamara

Hello everyone and welcome!!
I am so glad you stopped by! I wanted to just give you a few nuggets about me. I was born and raised in Virginia. I was adopted at the age of 1. As I grew up I was just surviving. My mom did the best she could to raise me. So as I grew older and on my on I adapted to that mindset " To just do the best you can" I adapted to the thought of " this will be my life". I got pregnant at the age of 17 and graduated high school. Feeling like I had nothing to offer my son I made a way. One year and eleven months later I had my daughter. I was a young mother trying to figure out life. Both of my children were by the same person and I knew this was gonna last forever.... Okay yeah we know how that goes. I raised my kids on my own.. Again just surviving that's all I knew. Deep down I knew I wanted better but did not know how to get it. Evictions, job jumping, moving back home and more failed relationships... I had to do something different... In 2016 I started going to church.. I would see and hear about how great God was and I never experience Him for myself. I was the club and drinking mama so I never made time for God. So in 2016 I wanted to see what the hype was about. Me and my two children would go to church on Sunday as long as I didn't have a hangover (I even got baptized at this church).. My kids only enjoyed the cafe` there they were still a little young. Even still I was not getting what I needed.. I was still being entertained by the friends I was hanging with and my own personal flesh. The party scene was a "vibe'.... So fast forward two years later my daughter's teacher invited me to her church... Now this is where my life was changed... After going and growing in the the ministry I seen a change in me. I stopped drinking, I stop clubbing and I went to church functions instead. The convictions I would feel about the things I would do was crazy should I say.. Nothing that I had ever felt before. My daughter joined the praise dance team.. My son well we are still working on Him LOL. I started to really pray and focus on God more. I was in awe at how God moved in my life by just simply saying yes to Him whole heartly. No it was not easy... Who's to say still to this day I don't crave a drink or a nice party scene with some pop lock and drop it music.. I have my days but I know who my helper is. Now I am not saying that any of that is bad. I just know what God was saving me from.. DESTRUCTION. July 2022 I started my t-shirt business .May 2023 I started dating a wonderful man of God ( Nope I did not meet him in church but I know he is God sent)... April 2024 God released me to move ministries.. June 2024 I got married to the love of my life September 2024 We got our first house together.. God has placed me in so many "YOU GOTTA FAITH IT TILL YOU MAKE IT" situations that I still get teary eyed when I think about how amazing He is. Even in my mistakes and sins. I am blessed that He has given me the chances He has. So as we go on this Journey together I will give you insight on my faith journeys and how I overcame obstacles that was meant to destroy me. I will show you how I figured out that I matter, I will show you how I realized my only limit was me.. I will show you how I had to continue because told me my story was not over.. So here I don't just want you to shop but also know that this journey is not just mine but yours. God has so much in store for you and each shirt you wear or each blog you read I just want you to know that. This is just the beginning!!!
