UPDATE: I have been really busy and fell off the map. Please forgive me I was not ignoring anyone.For all you that have not seen me in awhile. I have come a long long way from the person you grew to love. There are so many more layers to me, that it would be a shame not to share how I have built into the person you see now. A time line would do it best, so here we go:1992-1999 Partaay!!! Sex, drugs(weed),rock and roll(well that's what Whitney said*smile*)College Life and the like.1999-2001 THE SHIFT. I had darling little boy named Desmond Jr. My biggest dream came true, for 8weeks that is. He choked and went 8 minutes without oxygen. He went a coma to a persistent vegetative state for the next 21mos. until he passed away right after 9/11. This is when I learned how to be a nurse but I denied the call on my life to do it professionally. I made it through with hours of bible study and praise to God.2001-2004 I went back to work and tried to rebuild. I worked a job that disrespected me and everything that God made special about me. I misscarried in 2003. And did not give up. I got engaged in 2003. And I got a double blessing for the losses I suffered. I became pregnant with identical twin girls. Jordan and Jaidyn.2004-2005 My dream came a little too soon. They were born when I was six months pregnant. Jordan was 1pound 11ounces and Jaidyn was 1pound 7ounces. Right after 2005 New Year's Jaidyn was given infected blood in the hospital and died from poisoned blood. Verses I learned while I was with my son, got me through while taking care of one child while the other was dying. I buried one, at dinner and returned to my post next to Jordan. I had to be a nurse again but I denied the call again.2005-2007 Our God is an Awesome God!!! As the pictures show, that smile is real!!! The love I have for Jordan caused me to pursue nursing to have more time with her. And when I got in the program, the anointing/gift stored inside of me started to flow. The aptitude that I have for this field scares me. I know it is not me. I am an A student. Never been one in my life and I am doing it while raising a daughter. Once I accepted who I was, things have been so easy for me. Yes I have trouble but it has been fruitless. Everytime I put my hand forth I prosper and excel. I know it is because I said yes Lord. No. I am not perfect. But I know what the Word of God says about me. And nothing can touch me.Because of God I have been able to endure what others would have crumbled under. I know accept any trouble as a challenge. I remember this verse and make it through everytime: James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.2008-current I got my nursing liscense and started working for agencies. Most jobs were 12hr shifts and that just doesn't work well for a single mom who sensitive to the impact of her presence in her daughters world. So I moved back to Cleveland where Jordan could have family and more support. Since then I started coaching high school sports. I started with volleyball and track and field. Track took me away from Jordan too much so I switched to middle school basketball. I got certified by USA Volleyball for coaching and conditioning. I also run jump, agility, speed and conditioning clinics for volleyball. Integrity Care Health Solutions,LLC is our newest family business. It is a home health care agency and school that trains STNA and HHA. My mom is the CEO and I run HR functions and I teach skills for the HHA class when needed. I WOULD LOVE TO RUN A GROUP HOME FOR DISABLED ADULTS, SO IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION FOR ME PLEASE SEND IT. I say all this stuff to say that if I would have rolled over any of the times that life dealt me a bad card I would not be the asset that I am now. And the same can be said for you if you don't allow your heart to harden. Trust God and lean not on what you think you should be. Relax in knowing that God sees all things, knows all things and has things working for your good. Try letting go and watch how your life changes.
