🥹🥹🙌🏾 10 Years Later… LOOK AT ME NOW!
Today marks a milestone that I will never take for granted.
Ten years ago, my life changed in a way I never imagined. I suffered a medical emergency that affected my motor skills. I struggled to operate one side of my body. My beautiful smile shifted. Things most of us do without thinking—talking, smiling, eating, drinking, lifting my hands and picking up even the lightest objects—became things I had to learn how to do all over again.
I had to rebuild my strength. I had to practice speaking. I had to learn how to smile again.
And baby… STRESS WILL TAKE YOU PLACES YOU NEVER WANT TO GO.
So if I can tell somebody anything today: whatever is stressing you beyond your limits, LET IT GO. Some things simply are not worth your health, your peace, or your life.
A few days ago, I looked in the mirror and noticed something that stopped me in my tracks…
My smile was straight. 🥹
Everything was aligned.
My motor skills were back.
And I just stood there looking at myself thinking, “Lord, I THANK YOU!”
Ten years later, I can smile.
I can talk.
I can eat and drink.
I can lift my hands.
I can move freely.
And every chance I get, I’m going to SMILE BIG, lift these hands, and give GOD all the glory! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I will NEVER take the little things for granted again, because I know what it feels like to lose the ability to do them.
Look at me now! 😭🙌🏾❤️
Baby, I must be God’s favorite, because the way He has carried me, restored me, strengthened me, and allowed me to see this moment…
GOD, I THANK YOU.
Here’s to 10 years of healing, restoration, strength, and GRACE. And this smile? Oh, I’m going to show ALL my teeth every chance I get! 😁🙌🏾
