| 27 Years Young |
This is my story and it does not have to be anything like anybody else's. So many years of trying to live up to people's standards or opinions, always trying to fit in, walking on eggshells and trying to be "good enough", its all a midst that is quickly fading when you were born to stand out, be different and break the mold!
As I sit here and wonder where this life will take me I can only thank God for allowing me to live for these 27 years. It has not been long but it seems much longer. I have dealt with so much and so much has been thrown my way since before I was born, before I was conceived in my mother's womb there was a fight going on for me not to make it because of the greatness that was put inside of me. I don't say that to boast about me but about God, my God, the one living inside of me, the one who died for you and me.
Like I said earlier, this is my story and I honestly do not expect it to be like any other. For a long time I thought my life had to be like someone else's or things had to go a certain way, I thought I had to be married and with kids by a certain date or with a successful business to provide the fancy yacht for my dad and the high paying job to live comfortably so mom and dad won't have to worry but what if that is not the way Jesus made it out to be? I mean is that what this life is really about? I'll leave that for another time, back to my story.
So yes this young 27 year old woman was born in Cuba after 9 long months of bed rest from my beautiful mother due to the high risk pregnancy that I was, as I blessed God's mighty earth on August 9, 1989. I was born and half raised in Havana, Cuba until I migrated to the U.S. at 9 years old when that same beautiful hard working dentist of a mother won the Cuban lottery and we were chosen to come from Cuba to the United States! I remember just like yesterday leaving the place I had known all my life, all my friends but being promised a better future and a brighter life where I could make choices and be what I wanted to be and do whatever I wanted to do with my life, as long as I did something, that was all that mattered...
