July 1st, 2017 I began a Radical Change Challenge. I began a blog. I got a tattoo, dyed my hair, did a TBTN Event for Sexual Trauma Awareness.
Then on July 1st, 2018 I made the biggest radical change. I moved to Charleston SC A place that I had no established relationship. I did not have a job or my own place. I had no clue the reason I was in Charleston. I just knew GOD put it on my heart to move here
It was scary. I had faith that GOD would take care of me. He did and he has. I got a job at a Group Home. And I have always had a place to lay my head.
These past 9 months have been hard. Things have not always gone the way I have hoped.
I found myself really trying to figure out “what did I come to Charleston for” Every time a new opportunity came about I wondered if this was why I was here. But it always showed that it was not the reason.
Then in January, I realized the reason I was in Charleston. To go through PE Therapy. It blew my mind when GOD revealed it. It was a long process to complete the task that GOD gave me. I finished on March 29,2019.
I had time to reflect on “What is next” “Where do I go now.” I prayed about it and GOD revealed to me Hampton VA. I feel I have another task to complete there.
After completing PE Therapy I realized that I need to go to Hampton for more healing. Hampton is where my dad was verbally and emotionally abusive to me. It is also where I was molested.
Some people may think it is not necessary to move to Hampton but for me it is necessary. I need to be able to go to places from the past and allow emotions and memories to navigate me through more healing.
I want to be the best Dana I can be for myself and GOD. And also in hopes of one day getting married again one day. I want to leave my past in the past.
So on April 22, 2019, (TODAY!!!), I will be beginning the next chapter in my journey.
I want to thank all the amazing people that I have met in Charleston. You have been so loving, giving and understanding of me.
Please continue to pray for this journey I am on right now. I have no clue where it will take me. I have faith that GOD will be revealing his plan in his timing.
To GOD Be The GLORY. Much Love Take Care
