Iāve been seeing it trend up and down my timeline for days nowā¦about the influencer couple who decided to terminate their baby who had Down syndrome .. I said I wouldnāt speak on it,..but having a son with Down syndrome who has been such a light to my lifeā¦I just felt compelled to share his impact on my lifeā¦.in 2018 when I got the news via ultrasound and blood test that my son would have Down syndrome I was terrified because I knew nothing about it, This was my first time ever hearing of it. The way the doctors insisted that it was a horrible thingā¦That he wouldnāt have āa good quality lifeā he would āstruggleā and have āso many complicationsā made me so scared and I was offered termination up into 24 weeks. That thought made me sick to my stomach. I didnāt know much about Down syndrome but What I did know was that God gave me a beautiful baby who deserved a chance at life no matter how theyāre born! I am SO GLAD, I decided to bring my boy into this world. His stay in the NICU showed me he was a fighter when he would have died after birthā¦.he was deemed āfailure to thriveā but now he is 8 years old and thriving more than ever. Heās shown me a whole new side of life that I didnāt know existedā¦How to love beyond limits, how to be more patient, kind, understanding, how to see the beauty in the smallest things, how to be more considerate. Heās also exceeded the doctors expectations of him..Iāve watched him grow and thrive and heās just getting started..heās not a mistake, or a āglitchā or a problem to have gotten rid of. Heās been one of the biggest blessings of my life. ā¤ļø Down Syndrome is not a death sentence, and most people with Down syndrome live fulfilling amazing lives. Sure ,It very much has its challenges just like everything else in lifeā¦however for me, the good outweighs the bad. Trisomy 21 -Down Syndrome is in my opinion a light to the world that has taught me so many things, gave me a different perspective on life and people and genuinely changed me in a beautiful way. Had I not taken on this journey, and had I listened to doctors I wouldāve missed out on something so beautiful. My son with Down syndrome is a blessing ā¤ļøšš #downsyndrome #trisomy21 #downsyndromeawareness

6 months update. š
In the thick of it, a few weeks away from the final trimester! Anddd whewā¦š Iām feeling it. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Raising 3 while growing 1 is no joke at all. Appointments, meetings, dinner, laundry,..so much more etc..while trying to care of myself is crazy sometimesā¦not to mention the added mountain of special needs parenting in itself. Sometimes I feel empowered, some days I am discouraged, feeling defeated and depleted. Trying to balance it all and sometimes losing my balance (literally) sometimes too lol. Going out seems like a chore sometimes, as I get tired quicker now. Realizing that prayer is how I stay afloat and how I will continue to stay afloat daily š itās been beautiful but stressful at the same time. Life will always beālifeā but As long as I have my source, I know that I wonāt drown! #deuteronomy31v8
-some positives, Iām experiencing the pregnant glow even more, eating my favorite foods and learning how to rest when I need it, and BOY sometimes my body is screaming I really need it! #motherhood #2ndtrimester #6monthsā¤ļø #pregnancyglow

Dear Family,
I just want to remind you that the Lord is faithful. šš¼š
His faithfulness to me has looked different in different seasons of my life. Whether Iām looking for him to provide a thing, or Iām asking for his peace in times of fear. In some seasons Iāve asked the Lord for his wisdom on how to handle my current situation, and he gave me the know how. Whatever your season is, whatever you are asking of him..be patient, and remember his faithfulness from before. Remember the times he came through when you needed him. Look at the things you have now that heās given to you. Ask him to allow you to see even now in your current time how he has been faithful. Be steadfast in the waiting, praising him for his faithfulness. He can and will do it again ā¤ļø

Becoming is painful, but being stuck and stagnant is painful too. The choice is yours..and I've decided to choose to walk with him in the unknown, the dark, the intimidation, and uncertainty. Process through the pain and BECOME. I've found the Lord to always be faithful through it ALL in every season. #BecomingAllHeCreatedMe ā¤ļø

I give in church, I very often give to the needy and homeless..if I have a few dollars, its out of my pockets. I never post about when i give..Well today I'm posting about it for GOD,s glory. I always give in church but lately I've been very intnentional and consistent about giving God the first fruit (the first monney I get, I dedicate it to God on Sunday. and don't touch it for anything else). Can I tell you that when I went out today someone paid for my gas, then someone gave me something free that I technically should've paid for at the store. Went to a thrive through and didn't have to pay for an item they usually charge me for......when I say I was almost brought to tears yall....God says give and ill give it back to you way more than you could even be able to recieve. Bless God and his promises ā¤ļøš
Remember yall. God is faithful, his promises are true, and he is not a liar! Try him ā¤ļø

Happy New year š
And 10 years Later...My GOD. I'm still standing and still here. I was A very very broken girl, transformed by the love of God, brought to truth, Healed in many areas..and God is STILL not done!! If you know where I came from and who I was, you would rejoice with me šš. As I reflect and Even look at this picture, I know that Jesus has done a work. If I could go back and tell mysself anything is hold on, don't give up, God has amazing things in store for you. I would tell mysself God has a plan, and future for you. You will LIVE and NOT DIE! I'd say That the best is yet to come and God will heal and restore you. You have value, worth. You will have a beautiful family and so much much more... I still have so much more to tell...an amazing testimony. This year is personal. This year God is doing a complete and WHOLE thing in my life. 2024 I'm ready ā¤ļø#transformation #healedbygod #healing #happynewyear #jesussaves
