Greetings my beloved beautiful followers/bloggers!! I am on a continuing journey of growth and discovery of becoming the woman God called me to be in this cruel world. I know that no-one here on earth is entitled anything from anyone, but there are those few individuals like me that are truly deserving of a little compensation for all the hard work we have put in throughout the years. I get so upset that the only people others ever feel like are deserving of a reward are the people who are dying of cancer or some other terminal disease. I am not saying they aren't a candidate for a great charity cause, but they aren't the only ones. People who have had to endure many trials and have overcome them through effort and self-sacrifice, these too are so worthy of being rewarded with exotic vacations and paid in full homes.
So, with that introduction, I have never really been a recipient of a large reward of that magnitude, until just recently I received a phone call informing me that the Lord touched someone's heart and they are willing to sponsor by Invisalign treatment in full. It is an approximate cost of almost $5,000.00 and that is something I cannot afford even if I worked three jobs. I always thought something like this could happen to me, but I never actually believed it would actually come to pass. My smile is nice, but it definitely could enhance by doing this straightening. I am beyond excited to start the process, because I know it will last a few months plus I am ready for a new and improved smile. I give God all the glory for this blessing that is given on to me by such a courteous person.
I hope one day I can pay it forward to so many others in need, and that they aren't dying or expecting a handout. I want to reward those that have earned it through their work ethic and diligence to move forward in life through obstacles. So many times, people just need that fishing pole to catch their own fish if people were willing to provide it and teach them how to fish as well. We live in a self-absorbed world where people only think about themselves and can't spare not even a few minutes to help their neighbor. Kindness comes in the form of many ways, but there is always a way to show someone you care in the smallest of ways. Step outside of your bubble and do something nice for someone else without expecting something in return.
This blog was nice and short for your convenience, and I hope to continue sharing things in my life that motivate you to keep pursuing a life with God given purpose. If you haven't already seen the new book release my pastor Lorenzo Magwood published recently make sure you also stop by his page and check it out!!
So, with all of that let me get back to my main goal of spreading encouragement and reminding myself and others you are not a mistake because God that created you is perfect and He cannot make mistakes. You are here for a plan, and a purpose so allow Jesus into your life and discover that plan for your life to be fulfilled. Thank you and remember leaving a small comment or feedback is always welcomed!!
