SHALA
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us..."
~ Ephesians 3:20 ~
FEARLESS
Raised by a single mother, Shala grew up in the projects with her four sisters. She credits her mother for ensuring they never felt poor. Instead, she was fearless, making straight As and participating in plenty of sports.
Looking back, Shala says, "parts of my childhood like playing sports, getting love from my family, having great Holidays together, and never going hungry that I feel like were great compared to some of the other kids in the projects."
She came to realize lack of planning, feeling unsupported at times, and her father's inconsistency in her life caused her to develop serious issues.
"I was deep in sin and wasn't in my right mind."
~Shala King
Shala had created a new identity to cope with her unresolved feelings. But no matter how deep she went into the new identity, she was never satisfied.
Finally, after years of searching, Shala remembered her mustard seed of faith. She credits that seed as the reason God answered when she cried out to Him.
"I found out that God was the answer all along and that everything I went through was necessary to get me to where God is taking me."
~Shala King
