Dear World,
It's the day after my 23rd birthday and I've never felt more alive. Last night there was a little drama, but through it all I remained in high spirits. It wasn't that long ago when I really felt like I had made the wrong decisions for my life. I changed my life so dramatically before I even knew what I wanted. I felt limited by my situation and over whelmed by my circumstances. I wanted very much to be like other women in their early twenties; young, hot and free. Fast forward to today and I realize that all the 'mistakes' that I made were all a part of God's plan for my life.
When I really think about it, from the day I was born to this very moment I could not be who I am today with out my life going EXACTLY as it has. I have 2 kids, age 2 and 4, and let me tell you, they DRAIN my energy with all of their wants and needs. They demand my attention and don't except no for an answer, but ultimately the love they give in return for mine has no price. Motherhood has matured me in a way that no other life experience can, and for that I thank God.
Being a wife is even harder than being a mother. but even after struggling financially, struggling, to communicate, and struggling to love each other, I know that it was God who originally joined us together. I've never had any support from my family when it comes to my relationship, I've been with my husband since I was 15 years old and they still think he isn't good enough for me. But I know I'm not crazy, and I really believe in us. It took him a while, but he has finally found his calling, and that's right here in the music. Starting this company together is not only a big step in the direction our lives are headed, but a huge step in keeping us on the same page. I thought that I had out grown him, but through the music we've grown closer. Marriage is HARD but with God all things are possible.
Even this, this dream that most people would call ridiculous to REALLY believe in. But I have no doubt, NOT ONE doubt that myself, and the people who commit themselves to my team, will be successful. Not because I 'm so great, but because I have petitioned it to the Lord and truly stepped out on faith. So on this post- Easter, day after my birthday, evening, I challenge you, world, to feel secure in the fact that through all of your past trials and your future tribulations God has your back. He's got a plan for you, and not only will he give you what you need, he will fulfill your hearts desires. Let me make it clear that I am not perfect by ANY means, but Jesus is in me heart, and the Holy Spirit guides my mind, therefore I can step out on faith, and fly...
