My Story: From Brokenness to Boldness
“Beauty for ashes. Purpose from pain. Healing through Him.”
Teresa Brooker
Hi, I’m Teresa—Kingdom scribe, prophetic artist, wife, mamaw, and founder of His Daily Scribe. But before I ever carried those titles…
I carried deep scars, untold pain, and a lifetime of wondering if I’d ever be worthy of God’s call on my life.
This isn’t a story wrapped in a bow.
This is a story wrapped in grace.
This is my story!
I Didn’t Always See His Hand
There were seasons I was far from Him—making choices out of pain, not purpose. I’ve lived through abuse, addiction, rejection, and the shame of decisions that left me feeling like damaged goods.
For years, I ran—from people, from my past, and if I’m honest… from God.
I locked away trauma, buried the past of sexual abuse, and let the enemy convince me I was too broken to be used.
I’ve known the shame of multiple failed marriages… of trying to do the “right thing” the wrong way…
Of wanting to honor God but being stuck in survival mode.
Of believing that maybe… just maybe… I was beyond repair.
But our God?
He doesn’t throw away the clay.
He Met Me in the Fire
God didn’t wait for me to have it all together.
He met me in the middle of my mess and began to whisper:
“Daughter, I’m not done with you yet.”

From the moments I felt most disqualified, He began to show me how He was qualifying me all along.
I wasn’t being punished—I was being refined.
The trauma, the brokenness, the bar scenes, the suicidal thoughts, the religious pressure, the shame—none of it disqualified me.
It positioned me to minister to the women still walking through it.
From Running to Rebuilding
In 2011, I reconnected with the man who would become my beloved husband, Chris Brooker.
We made a covenant marriage rooted in Christ.
It was redemption wrapped in real love.
God gave me a glimpse of restoration—of what it looked like to be seen, chosen, and loved again.
We served together, grew together, and launched women’s retreats like Women of Worth Outreach—a ministry born from the belief that brokenness is something God can use.
But in 2023, my husband passed away—and I entered another season of deep grief and dependence on God.
Even now, in the sorrow, I hear His whisper:
“I’m still not done with you yet.”

His Daily Scribe Was Born (Again)
This blog started in one season as His Daily Scribe, shifted into Titus2Marriage during my marriage ministry season, and has now come full circle—reborn in a deeper calling.
This isn’t just a blog.
It’s a sanctuary.
A place where healing flows through story.
Where identity is restored, and women rise in the authority of God’s Word.
It’s for the scribes, the survivors, the prayer warriors, the purpose-seekers.
The ones who’ve walked through the fire and still said “yes” to Jesus.
And Still, He’s Not Done With Me…
Even in recent seasons, I’ve faced new levels of pain and heartbreak that I never imagined I’d walk through again.
A new love, a love deeper than I have ever known, a new marriage and suddenly an all out war on myself, my husband and our marriage. The separation was done, the divorce being filed, the pain and heartbreak too much to bear.
But even there—God met me. He held me in the dark, whispered truth to my weary heart, and reminded me:
“You are not alone, Daughter. I’m still writing your story.”
God
I may not share every detail, but know this—I’ve lived through it, and I’m still healing from it.
And if you’re walking through something hard right now, I want you to hear me:
- There is life after heartbreak.
- There is hope after betrayal.
- There is restoration after ruin.
And yes—there is still purpose in your pain.
He is the God who rebuilds, and you are not too far gone.
This is my story and maybe its sounds a bit like your story too. But sis, God is still writing our story and He is not finished with us yet!
There is healing after trauma!
I am redeemed by Jesus!
I am called to write!
My identity is in Christ!
This is my survivor story because Jesus heals brokenness!
My Mission Today
To show women that they are:
- Not too far gone
- Not too broken
- Not too late to rise and rebuild
Through devotionals, writing, resources, and prophetic art—I exist to help women heal, grow, and create with God at the center.
If you’ve got scars, sister—I’ve got space for you here.
“Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we ask or think…”
Ephesians 3:20
