(I couldn’t not add this song with a blog title like that ^ ๐Ÿ˜‚ and, I truly felt this way when I felt prompted to move to Utah)


About 3 months ago, there were days where I would lay in bed with stress, paralyzing fear, and anxiety over how the freak I was going to make this single mom thing work.


How was I going to make enough money for us?


Where was I going to work?


What was I going to do?


Where was I going to live & how would I afford it??


Could I still dance?


Did I need to let my passions go for now?


I felt hopeless. I kept applying for financial assistance in anyway I could. We were on the food stamp program for a few weeks. I applied for low-income housing even though the wait lists were miles long. I applied for over 100 jobs and just kept applying. God was urging me to move forward and I knew that as long as I kept trying, he would provide everything for us. He blesses obedience and I knew as I kept moving in His direction, it would all work out.


Many doubted me. I was going into unknown territory by moving to Utah and not knowing what was going to happen or how God would take care of us. It was scary. But I knew I needed to do the scary thing to get to the next place we needed to be in. I just knew He would provide and we would be taken care of.


In 2 weeks, Leo and I move into our own place. OUR own little place to call home. I canโ€™t even begin to explain to you how incredibly surreal this all is. Everything has been falling into place just as God promised. I heard Him, I (eventually ๐Ÿ˜…) listened to Him, and I took action and moved forward into the terrifying unknown. I did it. And I kept pushing forward through the fear. I had to – I REFUSED to let Leo down.


We have a long ways to go, but I know as long as I keep doing my part & pressing forward, weโ€™ll be more than okay โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Leo made this face literally right after he heard me ask if someone could take our picture ๐Ÿ˜‚ but then my girls @kylee_allen6 @emilia.brewer @lauryncarino & @addibell_ came thru & started singing his fav jingle and lightened him up, as you see in the other pics ๐Ÿฆˆ they da real mvps ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’› โ€ข So hi, honesty time. Earlier I posted this with just a witty caption, but I felt like I needed to take it down & use it for a different purpose. So Iโ€™m posting it again because I have things on my heart I feel I need to share now. โ™ฅ๏ธ โ€ข About 3 months ago, there were days where I would lay in bed with stress, paralyzing fear, & anxiety over how the freak I was going to make this single mom thing work.
