From Dade County to Orange County!!

I made two big leaps in my life at the same time. I moved out of my mother's house and I moved to a new city.

I moved to Orlando, Fl to continue my life and chase some dreams.

Moving was the best thing that ever happened to me. I feel so free and bold. I'm able to make choices without the worry or fear of what my family would think. No more crazy looks and squinted eyes peering at me.

I love my independence and I am very proud of myself. Of course I was not singing this same tune a year ago when I first moved away.

My mother called every day and instructed me on what decisions I needed to make. She still had a hold on me and I didn't know how to nicely let her go. I have a problem hurting her feelings, so in turn mine continued to suffer. She is very controlling and opinionated, there is one way to do things and that is her way! No room for change. We are two different people that think and act diffirently and I accept that but it was very hard for her to understand. But slowly I claimed my life. I listened to her advise but I listened to God and followed him. And guess what he hasn't led me wrong yet.

I live with my best friend who is very generous and has been a blessing in my life. We help each other with our kids and other home life. It works but I struggle mentally because I still wanted to have my own place, my own rules and my own way of living. Some days are better than some and I continue to look for God's guidance. For a while I looked at my living situation as the person who was is need but one day I came to an understanding that just because my finance were not that good, it did not mean that I wasn't a blessing in her life. Maybe God put me here to bless her life and then he would work on mine. As a believer we do profess that we are his servants. So I dont mind serving him and doing his will becuase I have faith that when its my time he will bless me.

My day is sure to come. I have no fears.
