Most of our childhood imaginations were filled with dreams and visions, some are now distant and others lingered. When I grow up I want, to be..., to own..., to have...., to make.... Fill in the blank.
When I was a girl, I wanted to be a doctor or a background singer. I'll talk about my background singing career another time , but my vision of becoming a doctor, although often spoken, was not self-nutured until years after the dream had been given.
I went to college with immature intent and lack of focus. As an 18 y/o I thought I had it all figured out. Academics was not a struggle so I decided to plan my "fairy-tale." My high-school sweetheart and I decided to get engaged and eventually found ourselves pregnant. We got married and I willingly set aside my dream. I became a cosmetologist, but it was not long until my focus started to develop and a still small voice said, 'It’s Time.' I restarted my journey, but not without obstacles.
The Eve
My marriage was struggling and I had two small children to care for, but I remembered THE VOICE.
I finished undergrad successfully and applied to a program to prepare me for the journey, but only recieved a conditional acceptance, but I remembered THE VOICE.
I was eventually accepted but only could do one year because I didn't qualify for additional educational funds, but I remembered THE VOICE.
I worked for a year as a foster care caseworker, gained acceptance to medical school and failed my 1st year, but I remembered THE VOICE.
I repeated my 1st year successfully and completed my 2nd year but failed my 1st attempt at my 1st board exam, but I remembered THE VOICE
I passed on my second try and went on to complete my third year and 1st half of my 4th year. I was given a failing grade on my subjective senior exam, but I remembered THE VOICE.
I passed on the next try, went on interviews for residency but did not match in a residency at graduation, but I remembered THE VOICE.
The Destiny
Without a job and two children to support, God provided resources and I was able to find a residency the following year. I successfully completed residency and graduated as Chief Resident, followed by Board Certification.
My journey continues and is still being actualized.
YOUR DESTINY WAS ORDERED AT BIRTH AND IS OUT FOR DELIVERY. BE READY TO RECEIVE!
