Intro: Thank You So much for this platform I am so Grateful! I always wanted to write ✍🏾 a book. How far this goes for me depends on you. Thank you so much for your support. Namaste

1. She always knew She was different. With a sixth grade education, She still managed to achieve receiving her associate degree at an exclusive yet very expensive university. Not knowing much about student loans She decided to attend to change her life from the very dramatic unsafe lifestyle she had lived thus far. Her family was very religious. Her grandmother stayed in a very small town right outside of Dallas across the street from a church. Every Sunday she and her four sisters and brothers attended. Wednesday night was Bible study. The whole family was baptist from the aunties and uncles to the hand full of cousins. So of course she incorporates the same beliefs for the majority of her own life. Honestly, Thinking about it really made her feel sad at the beginning. Realizing how much time she believed she lost. However, she had been told and had learned that everything happens in divine timing.

By the time she was a teenager she begun to be a little rebellious from all the madness she experienced and encountered as a child. (for the sake of time I'll save that for another day) Smiles. She often left home so she met other people that were in similar situations as her while on her ventures. They taught her so many different things that she wasn’t taught at home. However, when it came to religion She had been introduced to information far from what she learned about in church every Sunday. Though she believed and never questioned what she was installed in her growing up. Get it installed.

As time went on she became even more intrigued about religion and what she learned as a child. Believing that when she was in trouble the only way and the only person she could turn to is God. Which she never doubted was real. Especially after dodging the many unsafe situations she also faced on her ventures and never be harmed. Later, to learn had a name. Sacred Protection. Believing that she had to go through another entity to get to the source. Which is what she later learned was not at all true.

When she was lonely to turn to God. When she was scared to turn to God. However, was also taught that she couldn’t go directly to God she had to go through Christ to reach him. SMH. She later learned that wasn’t at all true as well. She has just realized that it is more to this world than she was told; she believed, what she was taught. This Information would eventually change her life. She never thought that things even her life would change so drastically. Religion has been something she never doubted. Until now.

2. As an adult, she started to contemplate everything she had learned as a girl and as a young lady. The people she met brought light to a very peculiar situation in life. The questions that now began to form. Not, realizing the spiritual awakening process had begun. What in fact is religion? What is Spirituality? She began to ask herself. It felt as if she had just woke up in the Twilight Zone. She didn't understand why this was happening. She was very religious herself and never dreamed that she would reach a point in her life that she doubted everything. Then Came the year of total unveiling.

3. It came to a point in her life that going to church every Sunday and paying her ties was not the norm for her much anymore. Instead, she watched Religious programs on Youtube to spend time with God. She listened to Gospel and she stopped using profanity all to be closer to God. Blessed her food in Christ's name. Bowed on her knees and closed her prayer in Christ's name. Believing that she couldn't get to Source without him.

4. The year was 2020 when the world itself started to unravel from a Pandemic that affected millions of people. From BLM, Racial tension, spiritual and religious warfare to police brutality. This was truly a year of a rude awakening for most people. She had just left a company that was robbing old people through magazine subscriptions and newspapers to work on a job where she stood up due to her own integrity. Recently, facing a downfall the year before she felt blessed to be able to make a decision that made her feel good about herself. Because of unusual coincidences happening at the church belong; she no longer felt good about attending. Instead, she watched religious videos on Youtube substituting her time from the church.

5. One Sunday while watching religious videos she stumbled across a video that had nothing at all to do with the previous one she viewed. This video exposed a religious leader that she followed. (Will Not Expose Any Names) Discussing secrets of the church and what this individual does with money collected in church. We all know how algorithms work that one video led to the more shocking news revealed that changed her life. After, watching several videos on Religious Vs Spirituality she began to understand that she was becoming conscious. Her eyes began to open and life as she knew it had changed. So many other questions began to formulate. How would she tell her family? How would she tell her friends?

6. She realized at this point that no one would actually accept the truth or be open to what she had learned. Even though she did attempt to tell people that she loved about this newfound information. As she thought no one believed her. Thinking to herself "I Am Not Crazy" Somehow she knew she is walking the right path. She knew that she is chosen and everyone will not heed the calling. Even if the Truth is standing right in their face. However, She vowed at that time that she will allow the universe to use her to be a beacon of truth. So her journey begins. This is her Journey.

Thanks So Much for Reading
