About Me
Hello and welcome to Pursuit of Titus 2™! I am MystiquaK, and I am so excited that you decided to join me today here at Pursuit of Titus 2™.
First, I would like to say that I am by far not a writer…and have no idea how to write my biography so I am going to allow God to guide me.
I am first a daughter of the most High God in pursuit of Titus 2, wife to the love of my life next to Jesus, a mother to 5 little blessings who seeks to please God in everything I do. I came to know the Lord at a young age although my family did not attend church on a regular basis. My school age years from elementary through high school were spent participating in the school dance teams and being trained in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern dance. I also had the privilege in being accepted into the Twin City Ballet Company in our area! This is during a time where there were not very many African American girls in the entire Ballet Company, I was one of three. Upon graduation I started to teach dance to two elementary schools from grades 4th – 6th. This was in a low income area therefore the funding was not there to afford to put me on payroll. However, I was grateful to actually give back to the community what God had blessed me with. At the time I was also attending college and instead of majoring in Dance, my passion, I decided to “make my family proud” (namely my uncle) by becoming an attorney and instead majored in Psychology and only having Dance as my minor. Hey…I was the first one in my immediate family that was determined to go to college and stay in college!
As the years went by I was making good grades and placed upon the dean’s list, the dance team I was teaching were getting recognized all over the city and performing all over the place. All the while I began to put my relationship with God on the backburner…Hey I was busy right? Then one day I was attending this fraternity party on campus with my college friends and met this guy in which I later became pregnant out of wedlock with my first son. I thought my entire world was going to turn upside down, but God had other plans…
After the birth of my oldest son I still was not completely back in God’s presence, let’s just say I had one foot in and the other one out but I was still in school and had not dropped out! I had given up on any type of relationship with my son’s father and I was “going to church” and raising my beautiful son… A few years later I met this guy who later became my husband and the father of my two son’s. Now here I am a new wife and mother to three children but yet I was unhappy and unfulfilled…
Was it because, I was being physically abused by my husband on a daily basis? Was it the women that he was having affairs with and calling my home? Was it the sexual and emotional abuse that I was going through? What about the two babies by two different women that my husband got pregnant? Or was it that I had given up on my dreams and goals and ended up dropping out of school to take care of this man? Was it because my children were being abused by him? Was it because my husband, the man that I committed to in the presence of God would hit me to the point that I lost teeth? Or was it something else…Did I mention, no one in my entire family knew what was going on because I hid scars and lied?
The moment came when one day I had just arrived back home in our state from traveling to my home town to bury my great aunt. We had just pulled into the driveway and I was very tired from helping my mother with funeral arrangements and such. All I wanted to do was take a nice long bath and cry…But, my husband had other plans, he started to shower without getting the luggage out of the car, mind you, we lived on the third floor…and yes you guessed it, I unloaded the car! He then said to me’ “we are back home now and you have buried your aunt now things can get back to normal. I am getting ready to go!” That led into an argument between the two of us and…That is when I heard this voice, “GO NOW” I turned around to see where this voice was coming from and I knew it was from God. I argued with Him…”God, I can’t go anywhere, I don’t have anywhere to go!” The voice said, “GO NOW!” I argued again…”God, what am I going to do? Like my husband said, no one is going to want me? I have three kids, how am I going to take care of them, let alone meet a man who was willing to be with me with three kids? I have no money Lord, I am not going…I can’t…I’m afraid to leave…” The voice said for a final time and I knew it was a final time, “GO NOW!!!” I then picked up my purse, a bottle that was half filled, and woke up my three children and told my husband I had to take some library books back to the library that were overdue…My husband’s reaction? “Yeah, ya’ll go and stay gone for a long time, cause I don’t feel like being bothered with you!” (Can somebody say “Tyler Perry Movie”) Okay back to my story…
I jumped in the car and buckled the kids in and we were on our way…Until I looked at the car gas gauge… yes, it was on empty! I started to cry and for the first time in my life Trust GOD! I then started the car and drove off…the light on the gauge continued to stay on to alert me that I was basically running on fumes and about to be out of gas in the middle of the night on a long road to I don’t know where 500+ miles away from my home town and family. But God’s grace kept me and I ended up at this Catholic Church called Mary Our Queen, Catholic Church. This was on a Monday night and if anyone who was raised in churches know that not too many churches have anything going on Monday nights.
Well, this church had a parking lot FULL of people and went up to two ladies and for the first time fell down on my knees and cried and told them everything that I was going through in the prison of my marriage and how I hid it and was alienated from my family and friends. Father God had placed those two ladies there for that moment at that time for me…Praise God! They took me in and called my mother to let her know that they had me and was not going to let me come back.
God’s Provision:
My children and I were placed at a 4-star hotel for three days and two nights, given food, money, clothing, toys for the kids, diapers, formula and more…My family (mother, godmother, and best friend) drove 500+ miles to pick me up and bring me back home. I walked away staring fear in the face but God provided! My relationship with Him was a priority in my life for the first time in my life I gave my heart to Him and asked Him to be my Lord and Savior…and He did more than just that, He has become everything to me!!!!
Fast forward to present day and God has blessed me with not only a man after God’s own heart, but a man who accepted me and my children and loves me so much, I still cannot believe that he is actually my husband!!!! My husband has been so wonderful and although I may have faults he is patient with me. God has blessed us by adding two more children to our family and am now a stepmother to two extra children. We are a happy family of seven children, God’s perfect number of completion. Our family worship services are spent together at home where my husband leads our family in bible study and prayer. I am a stay at home mother and loving every bit of it! And with the encouragement from my husband and family, back in college pursuing my degree in Dance and with God’s help, plans to open a dance studio devoted to Praise and Worship dancing through Ballet and Modern/Liturgical dancing devoted to God. God has truly Blessed me with a beautiful family, and better outlook on life, and most of all…A secure relationship with Him in His presence. Thank You Father God for your grace and mercy! Thank you for listening to my story and pray that God blesses you in every area of your life!
