Chapters

I always knew as a little girl that I wanted to help people in some way or some capacity. Okay. When I was asked, you know, when you grow up, what do you want to be? I would say social worker. And I have my reasons for saying that. Okay. And fast forward, you know, into my adulthood, you know, I already have my own history of trauma, my own history of pain and all that. And God has healed me from so much. Okay. And so in '06, I received my BSW degree. That stands for Bachelor of Social Work. And then I went back to, um, graduate school in 2009. In '09. And so in '08, I had wholeheartedly given my life to the Lord. That was like the pivotal moment for me where my life had changed forever. That's whenever I embarked on, on this journey with God, understanding who he is, understanding his voice, understanding what I was seeing what I was feeling, and so much more.
