Trying Times

There have been plenty of days when I prayed and cried. I just felt like I wasn't going to see the end of the tunnel any time soon. The Lord has brought me out of plenty of dark times, so I know He can and I know He will.

It's just the part about keeping the faith and trusting and believing He won't ever fail you. Waiting can be hard and if you are like me you have very little patience. Believe me there were plenty of times when I had to just stop and call on the name of Jesus because I felt like I was one breath away from being committed into a mental institution. It's something about the name of Jesus and when you call on Him, He will make everything alright.

If it's truly worth having or if the Lord says it's for you, endure the storm and pain a little while longer. The sun will shine so much brighter once you come out of the rain.

PRAY during those dark hard lonely nights. When you feel like a fish out of water PRAY! Cry, scream, and shout if you must but hold on and keep the FAITH!

I'm a living testimony that God will make everything alright. No matter how much money is in my bank account He makes a way for me until my next payday. I've never been without the basic necessities I need to survive. He has never left me no matter how many times I've disobeyed His commands.

Even if you don't believe in God, whoever you pray to, hold on to your beliefs.

Remember I LOVE YOU!

    Continue to be patient, God is not through with you yet because what He has for you is for you. Continue to keep Him first and He will continue to guide your path.

This is how it started...

       I was asked to answer a table topic question. Table Topics is an impromptu question given to you by the Table Topics Master. You have 1-2 minutes to answer the question with a 30 second grace period. My first time being called on for Table Topics I was so nervous and shaking in my shoes.     I signed up for my Pathway & set out to start my Toastmaster journey. My first Pathway was Leadership Development. I gave my first speech which was an icebreaker to my club on December 7, 2019, titled, "Who is Kennedi?"     Listen to it below...

Follow me along my Toastmaster's Pathway...

      I get ideas, and I run with them. Many times, without doing the proper research before executing the vision. After battling depression over my HIV diagnosis, I decided to be a public HIV Advocate. What made me decide to do this? I told myself it was to assist young black women like myself not to feel alone or ashamed because we live with HIV. Once I came out to my family and friends with my status, they were very supportive.     One day my cousin sent me an event advertising an upcoming women's group, Toastmaster club. Before this, I had seen Toastmasters advertisements and video clips, but I was always scared to go. I have a very warm, friendly personality, but if I was put on a stage and the room was quiet, I FROZE UP. The people that know me are shaking their heads like not you, Kennedi. Yes, it's true. I knew that I needed to improve my general speaking skills if I wanted be a public advocate. I had a fabulous time, and that night I joined Toastmasters...

Disability Pride Month

Disability Pride Month is celebrated annually in July to honor people with disabilities and their contributions to society. As of 2024, at the tender age of 37, I am living with two chronic diseases. I'm grateful to God that I wake up each day. On my worst days, I wonder why me, Lord. Then I look back, remember what He’s already brought me through, and thank Him. Let’s all remember that not all disabilities look the same. One of my nieces saw my handicap sticker on my table and asked who was handicapped. I explained to her that not all disabilities are people in wheelchairs or visible to the naked eye. I battle with being an advocate for my new disability because I feel like I'm too young to be going through all I'm currently going through. Then, I must stop and remind myself that God still has me here for a reason. I pray that my presence helps someone else continue to fight and push through whatever they are going through. Remember, we are not alone. I'm grateful to m...
