I literally talk to myself most days and keep myself focused and motivated to push through every single day and never give up. my life I knew what was going to happen.

God saved me so that I could raise my son, so everything I do I do for Him. Ms. Pink: Was there a turning point in your life? Kristle: I was raised in the church. My mom raised me the right way. When I was in that abusive relationship, I lost my mind and that is what lead to everything happening in my life. I left that relationship and became promiscuous because I was using sex as my thing to fill the void. I was using sex and the men as the love that I wanted in my life. I asked God to help me, change me. God told me to put a Bible at the four corners of my bed, and every time I got an urge or someone text me I would pick up my Bible and read it until I fell asleep. Morning would come and now it would be time to go to work. Ms . Pink : We all have different experiences, but they all serve a purpose. Kristle : I’ve experienced so much. I remember getting in my car and going to Quick Trip to bathe in their bathroom sink to go to work every day. Living in my car, living in a shelter, everything I’ve gone through served a purpose for me to become who I am today. I told no one, because of my pride.
