I just watched your pregnancy video o...Hello There. I just watched your pregnancy video on YouTube and decide to stroll on over to your blog. I commented on one of your videos awhile back when you was basically telling your life story. To introduce myself, my name is Rita and I am here in Louisiana as well. I am 14 years older than you but you are truely an inspiration. You are the voice of those that have walked or is walking that same life but are afraid of what society will think to even expose there past.<br /> I grew up poor in Grambling, La... and I tell you no running water, no this no that...yes...been there.. I'm thankful to say I am truly blessed now And feel so grateful that the Lord kept me even in my darkest hours. <br /> Bank teller! Yes I was one as well...at Regions Bank to be exact. I know all about the mean hateful snarls and stares that people of different races gave me. The occasions when the customer threw money along with the deposit slip on the counter because he or she didn't want to touch my hand or even when MY "till" <br />needed to be counted in the middle of peak time and no other bank tellers . <br /> I know how you feel But keep your head up just as I did and I promise you, your confidence will be so profound you will start to see God make these same people your footstool. I am now an LPN working on mY RN and I thank God every minute for those uncomfortable encounters because now I can professionally show those that the color of my skin does not always determine how far I can go..God makes those decisions. Not man! <br /> Sorry so long but girl I been there. You will go far. I had my two kids at 18 and 19 and they brought me so much joy and a real purpose in life! You keep pushing. God has favor over you sis! I can see it!!<br /><br />Oh and congrats on your baby boy!!!!! You are gonna be a great mom!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189294241759023485noreply@blogger.com
