The Void, The Narcissist, and The Breakthrough: How Jesus Healed What I Kept Trying to Fill By Sherita Jones | The Anointing Grace There was a time in my life when I walked around empty, broken, and wearing a mask so well you’d think I had it all together. Smiling on the outside, dying on the inside. Trying to survive cycles I didn’t even realize I was trapped in. A void lived in me, deep, hollow, aching. And I tried to fill it with everything the world said would make it better. I’ve always been different. Sensitive. Deep. A little too “much” for some people and not “enough” for others. Somewhere along the way, I learned how to  dim my light just to fit in.  I learned how to hide behind fake laughter, shallow friendships, and choices that only left me emptier than before. Partying became my escape. Smoking became my crutch. And on occasion, I would turn to ecstasy for that temporary high, that fleeting moment of relief from the pain I carried so long it felt like a part of me...

She Who Was Silenced, Now Speaks: The Divine Reversal is Coming By Sherita Jones | The Anointing Grace There’s a pain that no court order can settle. A wound so deep it bleeds long after the arguments have silenced. The kind of pain that doesn’t just break your heart, it breaks your  sense of self . That’s the pain I’ve carried from my encounter with the man I had twins with. A man I once thought I knew. This isn’t about bitterness. This is about  truth .

He didn’t just refuse accountability. He flipped the narrative and made me the villain.  He weaponized my faith , mocked my relationship with God, and painted himself as the wounded hero. But here’s the thing; Narcissists neve...

Obedience: Following God into the Unknown By Sherita Jones | The Anointing Grace There are moments when obedience doesn’t make sense. Not to your family. Not to your friends. Not even to your own reasoning. There are seasons when God asks you to  step out of what feels stable and safe into something that looks foolish, uncomfortable, and painful.  That’s where I am. That’s where Abraham was. God told Abraham: “Leave everything familiar. Leave your comfort. Leave your stability. Go to a place I will show you.”  Not a blueprint. Not a timeline. Not a guarantee. Just a command wrapped in faith. And Abraham obeyed. When Obedience Leads You to the Wilderness I know what it’s like to leave everything you’ve ever known because God said so. To leave stability, predictability, comfort, all for a place you didn’t choose, didn’t want, and wouldn’t have imagined. I know what it’s like to share a tiny room with your children, three souls crammed into a space too small to hold your pra...
