2018 has been too transformational not to...
Happy Tuesday Lovers this past Sunday, I took one of the biggest steps in my adult life. I told myself I could NOT go into 2019 and not declare and dedicate my life to God and got baptized.
If you’ve been following. You know that I’ve been on my wellness journey and while navigating through my own and finding what works has had me tapping into parts of me I’ve buried, I’ve neglected, I’ve sabotaged, I’ve loved, I’ve sacrificed, I’ve nurtured and preserved. In doing all this work it’s allowed me to mentor and coach others on their health and wellness journey. Their journey to find wholeness, to tap into happiness, joy and unleash their confidence & will to go on & conquer each day.
I’ve been blessed in so many ways throughout my life. In the last two years alone. So many testimonies that honestly when I had to reflect to find one I couldn’t choose. For about a year I came to begin documenting my testimonies because when going through an obstacle it is so easy to forget all of the things God has been doing in my life. All the times that my life was literally spared or saved. That’s Gods grace and mercy. I could not choose one but I do know the one that needed to be heard was shared.
For weeks now I was thinking OMGoodness do I speak about the time when... or this/that time there has been so many times that I’ve made it OUT of some stuff and look back in amazement because I don’t know HOW...GOD. So many opportunities where I found myself in a room with big wigs and feeling like I don’t “qualify” and here I show up...GOD. That time when I went to give my resignation and was asked to rethink it over / stay a few more months to train, and walk away with my bonus, my sanity and on a high note...GOD. Or the time... I can’t yet. Not yet.
But what I can share is that every time I asked for guidance, clarity, a sign or for help. I got just that. I’ve had doors literally left open for me when others needed a key. In the wee hours I’ve heard answers that were deafening that I couldn’t deny it. Could not be mistaken for my thoughts, my voice and sometimes not my choice. There are many stories that follow each and every testimony but that’s for another day, another blog share.
But I do want to leave you with this..
Power UP Reminder:
1. there are treasures inside of all us. Each of us are perfectly flawed and still beautiful, still worthy, still stronger than anything we’ve ever been or are going through. We all grow on our time and it’s okay not to feel ready, not to feel like we’ve got it all together. It’s okay to not feel good enough, it’s just not okay to stay there too long. Feel all the feels and the emotions go on the ride and get off. Your home is not where the hurt is.
2. do ALL the things that make YOU proud of YOU. Even when you feel like things aren’t working in way or the timing in which it should be, keep pressing on. There’s the rain, than comes the rainbow and the treasure is at the end of each and every rainbow.
I pray that we all remember this.
