Hello, lovelies! I’ve recently had a spiritual awakening. God provided me with undeniable proof that He exists and wants to work miracles in my life. I am going on a journey, planning to uproot my entire life to move back East and start anew in the beautiful state of North Carolina. It is going to be a huge change, but I am so looking forward to the adventure. I have been journaling a lot and had an experience today that prompted me to start writing online again.

This morning, I went to church for the first time in a VERY long time. I’ve been running from God for an even longer time, but He never left my side. The pastor preached a wonderful sermon on kindness. He provided two definitions of it: one, that kindness is consideration for the needs of others, and two, kindness is the removal of abrasive tendencies. He referenced Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 5:15-21 and 6:1, Proverbs 11:17, and Matthew 25:35-36.

While I could sit here and talk about kindness all day long, what truly blew my mind was the conversation I had with a lovely couple named Ned and Yvette. Yvette shared a vision she had, of me being gifted revelations by God on a beach, and she talked about crystal blue waves washing over me. She also told me that God blessed me with creativity, and she sees me using a blog as a platform to minister to the lonely. She knew nothing about me prior to our meeting, and I wanted to cry at her words. Ned then prayed with me.

Y’all, listen: I have not been able to stop seeing miracles since Mother’s Day weekend, when this new phase of my spiritual awakening began. It has been a very turbulent year for me, to say the least. I’ve switched jobs a few times, had a couple of nervous breakdowns and a couple of hospital stays for the nervous breakdowns. I went through a breakup with the man who so far has been the love of my life. I started back in school, and for the first semester ever, I excelled in all of my classes the first go-round. (Two A’s and a B, holla!) I got a roommate, paid off my credit card debt, got a new car, stepped up my dog mom game (huge thanks to Bella Vet), and decided to move cross country.

I have not lived on the East Coast in 11 years. I have not lived with my mother in 15 years. I have NEVER lived in the country. All of that is about to change, and MerMadness is my platform where I am going to document my journey. While I do still plan on selling my wares (possibly including a new line of sunglasses like the ones I’m rocking in the pic above), I will be posting much more frequently and sharing what’s on my heart.

Today, I want you to know that God always has your back. Whether you’re a believer or not, He’s watching over you. He has plans for your life that are greater than anything you can imagine. Have faith, and watch Him move mountains in your own life. I love you, and so does God. He is good, all the time. Say a little prayer of gratitude for what you’ve got, even if you don’t feel like you’ve got very much. Prayer is a good place to start. Also, be kind to your fellow humans, we could all use a little more of that in our lives.
