When I initially started this blog, I wasn’t totally sure what it would come to be. I just knew God had placed this idea in my heart and I needed to move with it. I remember coming up with the name, Breaking Barriers and I went to get the domain and of course it was already taken. So then, I came up with the idea to add my name to the beginning, Bridgette Breaking Barriers. The power I felt every time I said it then and even now continues to resonate.

I wondered what would cause someone to make such negative, judgmental comments about things that are absolutely none of their business. But then it hit me, it’s not for you to understand.
