“TODAY I STILL REJOICE!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

TODAY MAKES IT THE 7TH YEAR OF MY SURVIVAL. I SHALL REJOICE DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER BECAUSE THIS IS THE MONTH THAT I HAD MY RIGHT LEG AMPUTATED. WHEN GOD DECIDED THAT I CAN BE A BETTER PERSON THAN WHAT I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

NOVEMBER – THE MONTH WHEN I STEPPED INTO THE GRAVEL ROAD, IT WAS NEVER EASY; THE PAIN, TEARS, HEARTBREAK, TORTURE, DEPRESSION AND ALL THE NEGATIVE VICES YOU CAN IMAGINE.

AFTER ACCEPTING MYSELF FOR WHO I AM, TODAY I KNOW HAPPINESS, LOVE, CARE, FAITH, HOPE, STRENGTH AND VISION WITH A PURPOSE TO BE ALIVE BECAUSE I NEVER GAVE UP. I WAS NOT CURSED BUT GOD CHOSE ME TO BE HIS LIVING TESTIMONY. HE MADE IT A POINT THAT I AM DIFFERENT FROM MAJORITY. LOOK AT ME 7 YEARS LATER, I AM A QUEEN AND I HAVE BEEN POSITIVE.

I AM 20 YEARS OLD, I AM A CONFIDENT YOUNG WOMAN. I BELIEVE THAT DISABILITY IS ATTITUDE. I BELIEVE I’M NO DIFFERENCE FROM ANY WOMAN AND I CANNOT BE DEFINED LESS THAN THAT.

BASICALLY, I CHOOSE NOT TO BE DEFINED BY MY CHALLENGES. SO IN MY 7 YEARS AS AN AMPUTEE, I HAVE LEARNED TO HAVE SELF-LOVE, MY CLUTCHES ARE MY BEST ACCESSORIES. I ALWAYS HAVE MY BEAUTIFUL SMILE AS MY MAKE-UP. IT DEFINES ME BEFORE THE WORLD. IT IS THE VOICE TO MY SILENCE.

I SEE SO MUCH FAITH IN MYSELF AND IT SCARES ME. TO THINK OF WHERE I HAVE BEEN AND WHERE I AM GOING MAKES ME EMOTIONAL. I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD TOMORROW!

I AM HAPPY WITH OR WITHOUT A LIMB!! FOOTNOTE:

 THAT SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN EVEN WITH ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS.

 NEVER TAKE A DAY FOR GRANTED.

 CHERISH THE LITTLE THINGS AND HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE.

 NO PAIN, NO GAIN.

 I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL BOUND TO FACE CHALLENGES AND WHEN THEY COME, WE HAVE GOT TO BE STRONG.
