Do any of us know where life will take us?
I was reminded of this picture recently. Taken in Cairns, Australia almost 15yrs ago.
Chris and I had just met a couple months before and found ourselves on this adventure touring the east coast of Australia together. This was the starting point of our trip.
I look at this picture and think, how young we were, and how little we knew of life and each other. It would be 2 weeks later the first I love yous would be said to one another. Life was easy, fun, adventurous. I was a nurse, he was a teacher and life together was exciting in between working hours.
Mostly, I look at this picture and think this man had no idea of the life he was signing up for.
But do any of us?
In this moment in time I was an indoctrinated nurse who loved what I did. Believed in all that I did.
Never, in my wildest imagination would I have foreseen where my path would lead me.
But God did. He knew. I see it so clearly now, the people and events He put into my life, the direction He took me on to get me to where I am now. It was all there.
I once was so shy I walked home from school with (who would become) my best friend and she thought I didn't like her because I didn't speak. University I was alone and realized if I didn't put myself out there I'd miss out on this whole experience, so for the first time in my life started to go to things alone and meet new people.
Life has a funny way of shaping us, transforming us.
The last 9 years, especially, since becoming a mother have transformed my life in ways no one could prepare me for. I think how lucky I am, that this man in this picture has stood by all these continued transformations.
I didn’t set out to be a warrior. I never would have believed I was. But when my entire soul knew the truth I had to share it. Knees shaking, voice trembling. Trying to share what my heart and core of my body knew was true, of food, of 💉, of holistic, natural remedies, of the lies and corruption. Slowly my voice got louder, but only because I kept moving forward. None of it came easy. None of it felt natural. Just something I had to do. Share the truth.
We continue to be transformed, grow, expand and right now is another season
Right now is another season of transformation that I'm giving space to. Feeling the call and getting stronger to step into what's next. Thank goodness, this man, this young man, who thought he married an adventurous wife with her shit all together, is still here for the long haul and all the transformations we've experienced together and as individuals. Thank God for him 😍.
So, here we are. Another phase to step in to. Knees continue to shake, the nausea feeling in my stomach, the imposter syndrome and doubt, but will keep moving forward - because what we need now is more warrior mamas and if i can help by sharing my story, my journey and help others find their own inner warrior- well that's what I'm here for. It's time warrior mamas like never before to hear the calling and stand to protect our children, because we're not here to co-parent with the government, but to carve a new path, the road less traveled, the one where we trust our perfect divine design, faith over fear and realize we are all our children need. Buckle up we're just getting started over here🔥❤️
