Thus It Begins...

     Damn... this shit is wild as hell, y'all! Two years ago, I NEVER would have imagined myself where I am today. I mean, I was on top of the world! I was living in a phenomenal dream relationship, had a great job with Delta Air Lines, living in a nice house in a wonderful town outside of Atlanta, Georgia; money in the bank... Everything I ever dreamed of was right in the palms of my hand and it was such a awesome feeling. But here I am now, two years later: The dream relationship, or what I thought was a dream relationship only became a distant thought and me and my strength had to walk out the door. The biggest part of my life... gone! Just like that - gone! Some of the ulterior motives were revealed and all I could do is just shake my head like, "Really? REALLY?" I shut myself away from people, stopped enjoying myself and basically stopped living. The great thing is that we serve a God of SHIFT.

     Even though I felt like my life had crumbled and I was losing my perspicacity, God shifted everything to work out for my good. Yeah, I lost the relationship, but I gained so much out of it. I gained wisdom, strength, and endurance to fight against all things that try to stumble me. All aspects of life requires strength and dealing with what I dealt with allowed me to obtain it.  So I am thankful for that. God gave me the ability to try out for a new job, which not only gives me the ability to do all the things I want to do with myself, it also gives me the ability to use my heart to bless somebody's day. I can finally shine! Even though Atlanta was always my dream place to live, it's not going anywhere. So where is my life taking me? Washington D.C. It won't be before long where I'll find me a place to live and make it my own... and the money will keep flowin' in and my financial situations will diminish. I have faith in this. So this Thanksgiving will always be a rememberable one because it was not only the day that I moved away from Atlanta, but it's the day that I began to live.

     Thus It Begins... the rest of my life forward. I'm taking the new lessons and flaws I've learned in the past and using them to help perfect myself. Old traits that I needed to let go, they soon will be gone. I'm getting another chance to to live, and I am going to live. Nothing is going to stop me. I'm going to open up and continue to focus on me and my talents that God's blessed me with and, OH! The beauty of how God works is that when one person is taken away from you, God shifts someone right back to you. Actually in my case, they had been there the whole time. I just should have opened up my eyes sooner. The person that God has shifted in my life I plan on keeping on my side for a very long time and I know the results will be phenomenal. They are a very special individual to me and I know that the chemistry we have together we will help each other grow. So babe, if you are reading this right now, you know where I stand with you. I'm praying you want to be the one standing next to me.

     So as I make that 8 hour drive from my hometown in South Carolina to my new hometown of Washington D.C., I'm going to have an "I-95 I'm FREE" party. All the chains that once held me back will never hold me back again. I'm propelling into my destiny and there's nothing that can stop me now. I shall live and not die. That's why today will be one of the most memorable days of my life. I'm not doing this for anyone but me and that's what makes today a WHITE Friday. It's pure... it's right... it's me. So today, thus it begins!
