This pic is not just a pic. It's one of the pics of me feeling secure in my skin for the first time in a long time, knowing who I am and whom I belong to - Father God. I am affirmed, confirmed, validated, and chosen by Him. This is one of the moments where my freedom journey began. This smile, the pose, the way I look on the outside was how I authentically felt on the inside.

     You see, I went after the one and the one happened to be me. I needed to find out who Julie really was! I had showed up for everyone else and forgot about me. The truth is, I didn't forget, it was a choice. The time came (A decision came) when I needed to choose me. I needed to participate in my own rescue. So, I did. Freedom is a journey, it's not a sprint! I am now 1000 percent in participation mode, rocking it out with God and an awesome Community that is filled with brilliant people and a Brilliant Visionary! I didn't know I needed the Community until I needed it.

     The short of the Long is this! I went after the one. The one was me. I chose and continue to choose me. The freedom journey continues y'all. Holy Spirit is at the helm, and I am helping others with care, love, and value as they choose to be free.

TO BE CONTINUED!!!
