Allow Me To Testify To You

As I’m sitting here thinking 💭 the spirit of the Lord revealed to me how I truly do better without unnecessary distractions. During my time in High School straight A student 👩🏽‍🎓 before my pregnancy 🤰🏽and during. The only reason I didn’t graduate is because of block scheduling (not enough hours but I had straight A’s) My mom pulled me out because the school wanted me to repeat the 11th grade not because of Academics but because of hours I missed going to Prenatal appointments. So, she withdrew me from school and made an appointment for me to take the GED test. I passed the practice test but couldn’t take the actual test until I turned 18 years old. So, during that time I gave birth to Sidney, worked at McDonald’s, got emancipated and became a tutor or the adults in the GED program while waiting to turn 18 years old. My God! Thank you Jesus!

During Medical School I was on the Dean’s list multiple times. After surviving a stroke one month before Medical Svhool started. Then even (𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟) my son 𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑛𝑒𝑦 was murdered I was out of school for 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑒 weeks but 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐼 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑑, 𝐼 passed my finals with flying colors. My Lord. After my daughters suicide I attempt I was supposed to have started my internship but life kept happening.

𝐷𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑦 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛 Seminary school I had A’s until life happened. Every time I’m excelling in life, the enemy attacks. Now, my pregnancy was my choice when I decided to have protected sex but not on birth control and the condom busted. Which resulted to me missing school for prenatal appointments. But when it can to furthering my education I was always under attack while going into debt with student loans.

Once I had a conversation with my dad whom is big on education. He agrees with me about it being a waste of my time and money going into more debt when I have the materials at home with the gift of teaching. I’m stuck with student loan dept because I tried but life kept happening. I am an advocate for college and trade school. But I’m not a fan of having and education but not a job to pay for the debt acquired while attending. What’s worse is when you apply for jobs you are over qualified with a college degree. When I answer questions during interviews the hiring managers don’t hire because of my experience and education even though I don’t have a degree with my name on it. Which, is crazy until God revealed it to me last week during a walk-in interview. The woman was literally intimidated and I knew I wasn’t going to get a call back. My problem solving skills impressed her. My knows of opening and closing stores impressed her. My knowledge of bank deposits and management skills all impressed her to the point she realized I could be her replacement if she ever messed up. One thing is for sure and two things are for certain. I’m not dummying myself down to help someone else’s ego. I know the qualities and attributes I bring to the table.

I hope my personal testimony helps someone who has constantly tried to do your best, but life has literally gotten in the way. It’s not your fault. You did your best. No one knows your story better than you do. People always try to assume they know your story from bits and pieces you share. Ignore what others think, you know what your went and survived alone.

Yours Truly, 𝑅𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑎 𝐴𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑙𝑎

I have come to the realization that as long as I reach one person that’s all that matters. He left the 99 for the one! All of heaven rejoices over one sinner saved. If I reach more people that’s a blessing. Team Jesus
