EXCERPT:
Introduction
My name is Celisha J. I have been through a lot, learned, and am better because of it. I am a
firm believer that every lesson is a blessing. God has saved me so many times. I know he did
this because he has something bigger planned for me.
My prayer for this book is that it helps women and children who have gone through the same or
similar situations to know that they don’t have to allow the traumas of their past to keep them
from being successful. I believe that God has a plan for our life, but we did something to alter
that plan along the way. He did not intend for us to struggle or have a hard life. He allows us to
choose the path we want to go on. The good thing is he is that he is Always there to pick us up
when we fall. We were born for greatness.
Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes and forgive yourself and those who hurt you.
Forgiveness is for you. I want people to know you can be the best you that you allow. No one
says it will be easy, but the main thing to remember is that you are responsible for you. I believe
that the only person you can truly believe in life, who won’t let you down, is God and yourself. In
order for you to crawl out of the slump of being abused, hurt, let down, controlled, and battered
is, your faith in God and the belief that he has better for you. He does not want us to live in our
past. He intended for us to learn from it and allow our past to help other people gain strength,
but if we tell our stories and we have not grown from what happened to us, then who can we
really help?
I have done some things in my past that I am not proud of, and this book tells you my story and
how I remember it. No, it is not everything, but the book will tell you the things that stood out the
most to me. I have learned a lot and grown from my mistakes, and I have decided not to allow
the embarrassment, pain, and struggles from my past to hold me back, so I am releasing it in
this book.
This is my Ugly Truth!
