Where Has the Time Gone
2 years ago, today my blog went LIVE!!! I can’t believe it has been 2 years. Where has the time gone?
I have had-
• over 400 post.
• 3,000 views
• done some guest post on other blogs
• done a podcast.
It is so easy for me to find the negative.
• I did not blog every day.
• I did not meet my 2-year goal of 3,500 views.
• I have not had a lot of traffic on my page.
Those are all facts, but they do not have to be what defines me. Sure, I did not reach my goals. Those were dreams and hope of what I wanted to accomplish. But just because I did not reach them does not mean I failed.
My main purpose 2 years ago was to share my story with the world in hopes of helping others. And I believe that has happened. It may not have happened it these magnitudes of views or shares or even comments.
I truly believe GOD has ensured whoever needs to see my blog has seen it and that is all that matters.
Since I am celebrating this milestone it is only appropriate to reflect on the past 2 years of my blog and my life
• Started a blog
• Wrote over 400 post
• Did over 200 speeches
• Did a television interview.
• Did a few guest post
• Did a podcast
• Got a tattoo
• Did a radical haircut and color
• Moved to Charleston where I did not have established relationships
• Lived with other people who were not family
• Worked at a group home for at risk teenage girls. (I hope I gave them hope)
• Went through PE Therapy. (that was baptism by fire)
• Moved to Hampton Roads to continue healing from my past.
• Been very open and vulnerable with my life and my healing.
• Went dolphin watching
• Experienced an awesome seafood Buffett
• Learned this was my radical move And this was between me and GOD
• Went to ACR Conference. NOW. So awesome
• Met 2 amazing women who would become my concert buddies
• Had the honor of being apart of a PENNcredible Family Group
In all honesty all the things that I have done over the past two years is because I had the courage to start this blog. Before July 1, 2017 not many people even knew I was going to start a blog. I could have chosen to not hit “PUBLISH” 2 years ago. I could have also stayed stagnant in my life. Living in the same apartment working the same job and just WASH/RINSE/REPEAT forever. But I did not do that. I am so grateful where GOD has taken me in the past 2 years.
At times I felt like it was baptism by fire. Silver must go through the fire to be refined and shine better and that is what GOD has done for me. I am definitely a different person than I was 2 years ago. And I know I will even be a different person in 2 years as I am now. I look forward to where GOD takes me and with who.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
To GOD Be The GLORY. Take Care. Much Love
