Growin' & GLOWIN'!

So the story continues... October was ending and I was nervous again. I reached out to some company that I thought could offer monetary assistance with mortgages and other housing needs. I found them through internet research, read up on them, looked up their government designator and decided they were legit. Well, "the only assistance we can offer you at this time is planning assistance. We can plan a budget with you..." Ma'am. That's not what I need. Thank you. What I need is income. “God, what are we doing here?” is what I was thinking as she was telling me all the un-useful things she can help me with. So, that was a dud.  It's finally November. We’re three months into this entrepreneurship journey, and I’m looking like “uh, sir? Is this what you had in mind?” Because at this point, I haven't paid my mortgage or my car in 3 months, and my house don't have a garage for me to hide my car in. It's getting realer by the day. I believed in what God show...

Heyyyyyyyyyy! What's good?! I'm Vonne! I also answer to Vee! 😁  Welcome to this collection of my thoughts, feelings, lessons I've learned, and whatever other random things I feel led to share. I'm what I call "God's Girl" because He's my favorite, and let me tell it, I'm His favorite too! For a little longer than I care to mention, I have been working on sharing things He has shared with me. I haven't been as diligent as I should have been in the past, but I'm working on being... Better lol. I've done videos that I've posted on YouTube, and written literature that I've posted nowhere that take up space on my hard drives, I've even delivered a sermon or two at church... Lol. I think we're going to settle here for a little while though, and as long as He gives me the words to share, I will do so. I hope you get what you came here for! Love, Vee

I am literally buzzing from that amazing weekend I had with my three best girlies at the time, and the cherry on top was God answering my prayer. My “I don’t feel like I’m doing what you want me to do anymore, so what’s next?” prayer. He led me to the door and showed me what was behind it. It was scary and exciting and a little bit crazy, but aren’t your dreams supposed to frighten you a little bit? That’s what “they” say. “If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough”. Well, it was massive and very scary to say the least. I was ready to run straight into it though, because I knew God gave it to me. And, in the Bible, there are countless times that God had people doing things that seemed crazy to the onlookers. Me and God had been rocking with each other for quite some time, and he had established with me that I could trust him to lead me. I had already been living a submitted life and decided that I’d live according to His will, so after my birthday weekend, I was READY. I w...

So, yeah, this story starts at the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year. I was excited for a new year, but simultaneously, I was feeling some… Is disdain the word? Something like joy and excitement but laced with a little dread. Yeah, something like that. So, you know, it’s time for me to start getting things in order, so I began organizing and thinking about the systems I wanted to put in place. I decided that I was only working during work hours, so I had to figure out how to get the “extra” stuff done during the day. Once I felt I had my systems in place, I was able to switch gears to other things on the task list, like creating my “Welcome to Class” letter, and updating my syllabi. The basic beginning of the year stuff. Okay, so the kids have arrived and I started teaching the systems and setting the policies in place and everything was going well. Like, very well. I figured since it was my 6th year, it should be smooth, and it actually was. Parent communication was going well, ...
