Today is a special day.
One year ago today I arrived in Atlanta to begin my journey. If I knew that life would have taken so many turns I would have never left Miami.
If someone would have told me that in order to receive peace and joy and have abundant faith as I seek God’s divine will for my life I’d have to move to 3 different cities, live with strangers, sleep in hostels and a homeless shelter and get fired from jobs, quit jobs, living with no income, accepting donations from strangers just to eat while I set a firm foundation for my career all so I could take care of my kids and live my dream, I would have been like, “Nahh…I’m straight. I’ll be a secretary.”
Now I can see why God doesn’t always show you all the steps. He reveals the end result so you won’t be afraid of the journey and you can focus on your promise.
I drove away from Miami on August 5, 2006 not knowing that one whole year later, I still wouldn’t have my children with me. Everyday I look at their pictures and I hear their voices and I know that they are well. I remember that this isn’t the end and we will be reunited again.
The growth that I have experienced because of my faith and fearlessness is priceless and I thank God for it everyday.
This year I am wiser, stronger, more fearless and I have a set vision for my life.
Next year I will be even more wise, even more strong, accomplished and surrounded by love and laughter.
Thanks for riding out with me and sticking by me through the bumps and trials. It’s a smooth ride to completion from here. So relax and enjoy….
