Everything Happens For A Reason - Kmiyah

GBCHFM Communications • August 14, 2023

“My life has changed a lot since being here and it has helped me to be more mature, to get along with others, and to not take life or time for granted,” Kmiyah said. 

Melissa and her two sons.

Kmiyah graduated from AMEC School on the Palmetto Campus.


Kmiyah enjoys being outside on the swings and journaling. She says that she likes writing about her day and it helps her to slow down and process her life. 


Her favorite subject in school is math and she says that she's really good at it and working through the numbers to help her understand finances. 


After graduation Kmiyah plans to attend a small college and wants to start a business of her own one day either in cosmetology or psychology. 


“I want to be able to talk to people and help them through things,” Kmiyah says. “Cosmetology or psychology really offers me the best of both worlds.” 


After being here for five months, Kimyah has connected with some staff members who have inspired her to be the best version of herself and make the most of her time at the Children’s Home. 


“My life has changed a lot since being here and it has helped me to be more mature, to get along with others, and to not take life or time for granted,” Kmiyah said. 

She has seen God work in her life even when things got hard. Kmiyah has always wondered why God put her at GBCH&FM but now knows that it was because she needed time to learn and grow.


“I questioned a lot of things when I first got to the Children’s Home but I realized now that everything happens for a reason,” Kmiyah explained. 

Join us in prayer for Kmiyah as we celebrate her graduation and wish her all the best as she ventures off into a new journey. May God bless you!

“I’ve been reading my Bible more, going through my devotions more, and praying more than I ever have,” Mariyah said. “If I could give anyone any advice I would tell them to continue to always grow closer to God.”
