Thank You! #Christians on #TheMighty
Thank you for praying and leaving encouraging messages on my last post. Here’s a short bio of my experience and why your encouragement touches me deeply.
As a child, I was labeled a “slow learner” and “Learning Disabled.” Back then, no one knew of ADHD, OCD, or ANY type of alternative way of processing info during my formative years. So, after accepting myself as a failure, I was a wild-child by the time I became a teen. But that is when the Lord radically got ahold of my broken life.
Long story short, I worked various jobs and spent many years working at ministry centers during my adult years. Then when I was in my forties, the Lord opened the door for me to return to college. And to my surprise, after earning my Associate’s degree, I was invited and accepted as a student at a leading Ivy League university. But this gift is meet with appreciation. I struggle with deep insecurities while attending the courses at this school because I am still in shock that I am attending this school. And this semester’s no exception. The required course I am taking has stirred deep emotions and anxiety.
However, yesterday, I was able to sit still with the Lord, cry, write, share, and release my old memories of failure especially when studying mathematics, which I am taking this term….at….an Ivy League college!😳!!! Wow! But yesterday’s breakthrough involved me accepting this semester as a new beginning for setting new memories, even if I do not do well in the course. I am taking a mathematics course under the tutelage of a legendary professor. Only the Lord would lead me to this type of unimaginable place: no eye has seen (1 Corthians 2:9).
Honestly, after I shared my thoughts, I thank you all for your prayers. I believe they led to the breakthrough I experienced. So, please continue to lift me up, if possible. Over fifty years of negative fear, anxiety, bad memories, and deep insecurity do not simply vanish. So, thank you for letting me share this story. I appreciate receiving replies from you, #TheMighty !
