I Can’t Stop!

Let me start out by saying hello and that I am scared!  Launching my own website, writing my first book, vlogging, and blogging about things that matter to myself and those around me is scary!  We live in a society today where everything that you do is put out on social media and there are so many people that have access to your life.  Sure, you can control it the best of your ability, but once something is put out there, it leaves a lot of room for others to judge.

I had to take some time alone and really pray about doing all of this because while I love my career path, I am not one to put my life on display the way that I did with my book. So, welcome to my new chapter.

I have made the decision to acknowledge my fears but move in spite of them.  I am also coming to realize the strength of my testimony and how much it helps, others.   For so long, I thought that I had a few loose screws because of how I kept going on in life believing that it will all come together.

Have you ever had something on the inside of you that was unaware of how things were going to turn out but you wanted to stick around as long as you could anyway?  That has always been me.  As I have grown older I am realizing that I am a player in the game and have more power to see a positive outcome than I think.

It’s all about perspective and faith.  The way that we have seen things in our pasts play out can paralyze us.  The failed attempts and hurts of a loved one can make us say “forget that, I would rather not try”.  I say NO MORE! for my life.  While I want to learn from the mistakes of others, I will not allow fear to stop me anymore.   The way to overcome it is to stare fear in the face and that’s what this is doing.  So while I am scared…..I won’t stop.  Neither should you.

We all have a story to tell and we all have different ways of telling it.  Find your way and tell your story.  There is someone that needs to hear how you made it.  They need to know how you fought to get out and how you are moving to help free others.

When we make it out, it would be a tragedy for us to move ahead without pulling out another brother or sister.  What you go through is never just for you!
