We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Garcia Wittick. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Garcia below.

Alright, Garcia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

My most meaningful project is my first published book: ‘From Brokenness to Hopefulness’. Published on October 3, 2023.
I wrote this real and riveting story as I want others to know that it doesn’t matter what deep mess you’re going through, God can use your brokenness for His glory. He can create something beautiful from any painful experiences you may be experiencing. Though it may be hard, I want to encourage someone to accept and appreciate their current life’s situations, believing that there is greatness within their brokenness.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

When I was 19, I met and fell in love with my best friend who became obsessive, manipulative, and abusive overnight. I had little to no family background, hence getting away from him was almost impossible. And I had no one to tell of my problems with him. I thought that if I remained submissive to that man, then he would grow to love me and treated me as I deserved. But I got physically abused for no reasons instead. My self esteem was way damaged, and I believed every ill spoken words he spoke over my life. What was more crazy was I loved that man so much that I prayed and hoped that he would change his ways for me. But that was a deep delusion in my mind. I became a seasoned alcoholic due to my many deep depressions. I saw my life without any meaning.
But after surviving the many attempted suicides, the many hunger days and the frequent neglects by him. After surviving more abuse while being impregnated by him. After surviving the many emotional and psychotic episodes from him, I decided to fight for my freedom and to get away from him.
The journey of breakthrough wasn’t easy, as his anger and stalking obsessions grew heavily each day. But I was determined to get out. 9ne night, while I was carefully executing my get away, he ambushed, beat me, and held a gun to my head. Whwn asked if I was really leaving him, (He was a very manipulated narcissist), I sobbingly said “yes”. I mean, at that point, I’d rather die that to continue living in constant pain and fear of him. His response to me was; “This is it”. He squeezed the trigger of the gun in an attempt to end my life, but the all powerful God caused the gun to be jammed. No hulkets would cone out, allowing me to escape, running as fast as I could. And even after the gun began firing at me, God shield me from every bullet…
It took me a while to recover from the many PTSDs, but God sent the right persons in my life to help heal my brokenness.
I want others, especially young women to know that it is very important to love yourself first, before allowing anyone to love you. When you put God before you and before all other aspects of life, He will definitely direct your paths, and align you with the right persons. And if you happen to be in a broken relationship right now, respect yourself enough to know that your deserve better, and get out! Of course you would need to find someone you trust, possibly a professional to help orchestrate your getaway.
Getting my hopes of a meaningful life was not easy, but possible. And if I could rise from above my pain, so can you!
Because we were not born to be abused. Abuse, in all its forms is not love. Controlled is not love. Love should not hurt. And so, if you are experiencing the above mentioned, you don’t need to stay in that mess. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. You deserve better, Get out!!!

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

My aim to motivate young women, single moms and even young men, to be the best versionof themselves. I want to share to as many as who will listen that though life can be bitter, It can certainly get better. Because your downfall should not keep you down, but propel you to rise above it all.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I had to unlearn the way I was allowing others to hurt me and learned how to love me first and believed who God said I am; “A royal priesthood. A daughter of a king. I am Loved. I am Forgiven. And I am set free”. And whoever the Son sets free, is free indeed. I had to make that life changing declaration and strongly affirmed that I am no longer a slave to abuse, hatred, bitterness, nor brokenness. Because through it all, I found Hope!
