Update on my life: These past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me. I was feeling a lot better in January and then my health declined again. Le sigh. 

The crazy thing is that my Crohns is definitely in remission so my doctors haven't been able to figure out where all the abdominal pain is coming from. So I am now dealing with an ob/GYN doctor. I even had an ultrasound. 

No, I'm not pregnant. They just want to see if I have endometriosis like my mommy. 

Anyways... I have a boyfriend. Ssshhh, don't tell my parents because they are CRAZY about me dating. (Lol. They know about him).  But his name is Bear, well his name is Victor but I call him Bear. He lives in Florida. 

He doesn't smile much. :( lol. But he laughs a lot. :) He is courting me. ::wink wink:: He loves God. And yeah, that's all y'all need to know... for now. 

I'll tell y'all more about him later. 

Wanna see what he got me for Valentine's Day? 

It was definitely the best Valentine's Day ever. He really put a lot of thought into my gift because I love 🌻sunflowers🌻, adore mason jars and what girl doesn't love chocolate? 

Also, he recently got me a just because gift. Which is really sweet because that is one of my biggest love languages. Her name is Rain Johnson (when Bear and I get married, she will take his last name as well). 

Stephie and I went down to Augusta, GA for a nice weekend trip. I actually really love that city and would love to live there someday. (Well, any small southern city would do). We took a picture with the life size statue of James Brown. (That man was SHORT). This was one of the craziest trips ever because it tested us. Our hotel gave away our already paid for room. -_-  The Holy Spirit was working in my sister and I that night because we didn't curse anyone out. I actually prayed about it. That's some serious growth right there. So we didn't get accommodations until about 2:30am thanks to another hotel that was able to accommodate us. But I got to bond with my sister and prayerfully, we will get to go on more weekend trips together. 

Excuse the swollen face (Prednisone/moon face) but that's my bestie (Jaleesa... I call her DJ) and I after church on February 16th. I really enjoy her company because she has always been a supportive friend that I can be myself around. And watching her grow in Christ has been inspiring me. I love growing on this journey together!!! I honestly could cry telling y'all about how this girl has had my back through everything since 2008. The funny thing is we went to middle school and high school together but we didn't start hanging out until college. I don't know how I made it through middle and high school without her. 

Anyways, I don't really have any complaints about life right now. Well, I do. Can I share it with you?

I'm discontent with my season. I'm so fed up with being sick.  I want to be kingdom busy. I want to have my own classroom and teach the kids. I want to be healthy. But... I'm just not healthy right now. So I devote my time to learning more about Christianity, working on my relationship with God and figuring out my health. I'm just ready!!!! Lol. 

Anyways, praise God for everything I'm going through because it's preparing me for the next season or the season after that. I just want Him to have His will in my life. 

Talk to you later. 

Love y'all!
