Happy Sunday loves! Wanted to share one of my favo

Happy Sunday loves! Wanted to share one of my favorite scriptures I go back to all the time, that I felt some of you might appreciate! 🤍
•
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬
•
This scripture has helped me understand and embrace all the twists and turns that life has thrown at me in the past. The things I once couldn’t understand and broke me, make perfect sense to me now and I’m grateful for them because I wouldn’t who I am today without them! And if I don’t understand something now, I rest in the peace of knowing that I will understand later and that the path will be made straight even if it’s not mine!
•
Once again, God has shown us this truth! A week ago I didn’t understand. Literally 3 squares ago, I wrote “I ask how? I ask why?” But now I see, how once again, there was a greater plan. It’s mind blowing to me that over the course of a few days, SO many people who were blind to other people’s hurt for years now see, empathize, want to do better and be better! And how so many others who were walking hurt for so long, have been empowered to take a burden off their chest, both coming together to mobilize the world in the name of loving and respecting each other equally! It’s incredible! •
I read somewhere this week that “God doesn’t always take you out of the fire but stands with you in it.” And earlier today, I read something that complemented it so well, which said “because one day you will tell the story of that battle you went through and God will send you the exact people to hear that story.” That same fire that you endured, that refined you and gave you so much character, trust me there’s a greater plan for it even if you don’t see it. So “in all your ways know Him”. LOVE, hope, forgive, empathize, refrain from judging, and be patient! ❤️ #beautyfromashes

What a week it’s been! It’s been emotional, uncomfortable but incredible! Witnessing people coming together and taking a stand in such a powerful way, is something we can’t forget and can only learn from! I pray that this is only the beginning and that the awakening currently taking place has empowered us to continue to believe and strive for more!
I’m grateful for how the current movement has lifted up so many voices of the black community that needed to be heard and brought so many news friends over here! SO thankful for all the shares, tags, messages & love! So I thought I’d say welcome! 🤗

My name is Vanessa, and this is my husband Frank. I’m a mama of 3 boys and a proud military wife ⚓️ I’m of Haitian origin, born and raised in Montreal, Quebec and now living in beautiful San Diego! I believe in God. I love Jesus, unapologetically! I have a passion for fashion, home decor, beauty & cooking! Things that you’ll see on here? All of the above! And I’m really grateful to have you following along 🖤

P.s I’ve created a highlight labeled “please, I can’t breathe” to keep the stories I share on this movement accessible for reference or for sharing. We need to all continue to support each other, grow together and lift each other! Change is happening y’all 🙌🏾

#blackouttuesday

These past few weeks have been hard to swallow. So

These past few weeks have been hard to swallow. So many heavy emotions. Heartbroken, disgusted and saddened by what’s going on in the world. I ask how? I ask why? How can this be? Why does it have to be this way? I can’t fathom the amount of hate in one’s heart to be able to carry something so horrible. From #AhmaudArbery, #BreonnaTaylor to #AmyCooper ‘s antics towards Christian Cooper and now #GeorgeFloyd. So much hate. So much pain over the color of one’s skin. There is something seriously wrong with the fact that til this day black people are still fighting to be seen as equal. There is something seriously wrong if what is going on doesn’t move you. It is time for a change. A real change. I have hope that the time has finally come where we will come together as one and together fight the good fight. God is moving and I believe that while George Floyd may have left us to be with his mama, he did not die in vain. Please educate yourselves. There are plenty of ressources available to learn about the generations and generations of pain and hurt of the black community. Speak up. Bring up the difficult, uncomfortable but necessary conversations about this matter. Donate. PRAY. Pray for humanity. Do something. But most importantly, teach your children to love our children 🖤 #justiceforgeorgefloyd #icantbreathe #blacklivesmatter
