Embracing my life with BPD As a Christian 

For all my people who love to travel but is afraid to make the jump! Don’t worry because I was in the same boat as you are. I remember since I was a little girl I always wanted to travel the world and actually wanted to live in Japan for the longest time.

 I loved watching Inuyasha and eating sushi and was trying to learn the language. I loved how accepting the Japanese people are and how beautiful Japan and their culture is, that it influenced me to want to live there.  

But it wasn’t until Covid happened where I decided that Korea would be the best place for me since I had gotten into K-pop, and was looking for a place that had a lot of Black people who lived there. And Korea was the driving marketplace just for that! I first started with learning some Korean then I learned the cultural foods, and researched the prices in the Country so I could move there to see how I liked it. 

It was amazing! It felt like a dream come true because it was. I was on a high being abroad for the first time in my life despite the challenges as far as the language barrier and not coming from money, so I was traveling and trusting God. 

Actually at this time in my life I was a lukewarm Christian very lukewarm, I wasn’t reading my Bible or praying and had drifted away from God at 18. And this is why I felt like a failure for the first half of my life because I knew God wanted a relationship with me and I kept running, and I would try different avenues like different colleges, jobs, careers, like y’all I was all over the place with no clear direction. 

But if I would’ve followed God the doors that I do desperately wanted open would’ve been opened when the time was right. I had more faith in myself than I did in God, which is a sin and very bad! This is considered pride and idolatry! 

I was born with a rare facial paralysis condition called Möbius Syndrome which causes my cranial nerves to malfunction causing my face to be paralyzed. Because of this I was constantly bullied as a kid and had self esteem issues, and when I became an adult I started to glorify my body and felt that I could show myself as being confident and sexy. 

Which is definitely not Christ like because God calls us to show our beauty in different ways that is not physical. Proverbs 31 woman Hellooo! She’s more precious than rubies who can find ;) 

So I really had to learn I am more than my body, and appearance! I don’t have to prove anything to anyone because my life will show it. And I want a God honoring life, and hear comes the next obstacle. I also have BPD (borderline personality disorder) This is basically a drama series of I’m a woman with childhood trauma and if you leave me I feel like my works will fall apart. 

This is called fear of abandonment which stems from childhood trauma, and if left untreated it will blossom into unhealthy habits in your adult life. Which includes having premarital sex because you think a person is your spouse or just reckless sex because you feel like you met your forever partner.

 Over spending until you are broke, causing arguments in relationships because you want to see where you and the person stands. And this is common in romantic relationships since the fear of abandonment is heightened. 

Now I know you might be wondering what does this have to do with traveling? Well a lot, those passions and desires that we feel came from God. It was not a coincidence that I had a dream to travel the world since I was a little girl. And once I became an adult the spark was reignited and I knew I had to go, it was now or never. 

The things we want and desire to do, cannot be done without God! Period, 

God opens the doors no man can shut and closes the doors that no man can open. And let me tell you! It wasn’t until I traveled abroad where I really understood what this meant! Relationships gone! Isolation season was activated and there was no escaping. 

So I hope you take my experiences of traveling and ask yourself why do you want to do it? Is it to show off or is it to experience the culture of the people?

 And if you are a Christian how would traveling deepen your relationship with God? And even if you are not a Christian there’s still time for you to surrender everything to God and ask him to reveal himself to you.
