Heyyy…Let’s chat about life’s happenings & some up-dates shall we. “A Dream Deferred Is Not A Dream Denied”
Transition: the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. Over the last 5 years each one of my children have reached life milestones & major life events including: high-school graduation, entering college + graduating college & the birth of children. As my children grew/transitioned & I helped guide their steps, I often paused to reflect on my own growth…specifically my educational & professional goals. The beautiful complexity of motherhood, marriage & being a blended family demanded sacrifice on my part! See my strength was always putting Anything aside that took too much of me away from my 1st focus and priority My Children & Home. However, I knew the day & time would come when I’d have my turn & truly be Ready + Capable of forging forward in the direction of Goals & Dreams that were well over 20 years old!
“A Dream Deferred Is Not A Dream Denied” This statement echoed in my mind & heart as life continued to come into alignment for me by the Grace of God! Even through moments that brought me feelings of intense lows & joyful highs, again God reminded me I’d have to practice anything that I Preach, Pray, Promote or Portray! Admittedly, I thought in the recesses of my heart, Surely I shouldn’t have to endure certain Adversity at this point in life, I’ve already endured Gut-Wrenching, Knock down drag out experiences that seem more like a movie scene than real life, experiences that would’ve took someone else completely out the game! Error, Incorrect, Foolish…didn’t Jobs life teach me anything? That I could indeed be walking with God, raising my children better- in the fear of the Lord, loving & honoring my hubby, praying, preaching & prophesying, loving God with my whole heart…And still not be Exempt for the Fiery Trails, Being hard pressed on every-side, Arrows, and Refining By Fire!!!!
This thing called LIFE offers No Passes…but in the Words of my Earthly Daddy, “Baby chances go around!” Not only do they Go around for US ALL… but when you’re a Child of God every problem you have already has a solution that God is just waiting to reveal for your greater good! God was divinely orchestrating my transition right along with my children coming into young adulthood!
I’m overjoyed to share, I’m just a few seasons away from Graduating with my Bachelor's Degree in 2025! Additionally, I
started an Aesthetics Apprenticeship with the stellar FOY Medical Spa & I’ll have my Esthetician License in 2025. For those who indulge in Spa + Skin Care Services, you'll be able to schedule services for Facials & Waxing with me soon. Now back to work because Goals don’t get accomplished without Work. God Is Good!
