Helping you become the person God wants you to be
What would your life be like without music?
My life without music would be absolutely devastating and horrible. I don’t know who I would be if I couldn’t sing or go to a concert or listen to the radio it has been part of my life ever since I was born
How do you celebrate holidays?
The one constant in our Christmas celebration is going to church although the times have changed for that too we used to have only one service at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve but now we have two services it will usually one at 4:00 and one at 6:00 and we could choose which one we wanted to go to. After church on Christmas Eve, we traditionally head to my grandmother’s house after a quick stop at our house to pick up the presents that we bought for our family then we would head to my mom’s mom’s house and stay there and visit with family until about 11:30 or midnight. Then on Christmas Day we would go to my other grandma’s house my dad’s mom’s house and hang out with family there this is when that side of the family was a lot closer. Now that most of our family has grown up and had their kids we have kind of spread apart and have moved on to doing our own thing. Church is still a constant on Christmas Eve although our church celebrates Christmas through music a few weeks before Christmas because many of our choir members are actually out of town before Christmas and for Christmas. So soon I will start choir rehearsals and get ready for the Christmas season at Eagle Rock Baptist Church and we will see what we do for Christmas because there have been changes in our family as well
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
This is a bit of a repeat from me. I wish I didn’t go through the dark time of having to learn to accept my disability but I’m happy that I did.
What are your favorite types of foods?
I love
Do you see yourself as a leader?
Yes I do see myself as a leader. I believe that it was something that God wanted to grow in me, and so I believe that that is part of the reason why he made me the way he made me because he knew that I would have to lean on him an advocate for the things I needed and trust him for the things I needed. Leadership in my life has had it’s fun Parts as well, I consider myself a leader in the disability community because I am now connected with Dynamic women in the Rolettes and the Boundless Babe Society. I feel like I’ve talked about them Ad nauseam at this point but it is because they have become so important in my life and taught me how to carrying myself with a good sense of pride not the look at me I’m the best in the world kind but a pride that says I’m comfortable with who I am and the equipment I use is simply a part of me even though some people might see it as a big deal. I have so much more to learn in being a leader in both of the communities that I serve in the community of my church family and my faith and the community of Sisterhood that is made up of the disability community.
What’s your favorite word?
What are you doing this evening?
It’s 107 in the morning and I just got into bed when I woke up in the morning and plan to get dressed have breakfast including coffee and then do the writing that I have intended to do in my notebook That way I can turn my full transformation story which is now called watch me: my full transformation story into a podcast episode/audiobook. I’ve always dreamed of writing a book but I don’t think that it will ever become a hard copy that’s why I love the fact that I have a podcast now. I also want to start writing down some of the questions that I have already gotten for my 4th-anniversary podcast episode, If you are reading this and you have questions that you want to ask please include them in the comments.
I would say that my ideal week would be one packed with lots of activities even though I am a person now who enjoys time at home and I’m not always meeting to go somewhere to be happy. However, my ideal week would consist of church on Sunday bible study on Thursday which is now my new Bible study day dance class on Tuesday and Boundless Babe Society on the last Thursday of the month. This question makes me miss the structure of Rollettes experience because it was filled with a lot of activities.
Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy. Philippians 2:12-18 NLT
