I happened to be one of many women finding out that they were pregnant while stuck in this terrible pandemic lockdown. I was pretty bummed to miss out on all the normal festivities that come with the announcement of a new family member so I challenged myself to get creative. I handcrafted and designed game cards and sent Baby shower game packages in the mail to my friends & family accompanied by this fun video that walked them through it. It has been a couple of months that everything in our County had been shutdown due to the Pandemic in 2020. Jerry was in desperate need of a haircut and had my mom nagging him that she could do it. Finally one day he let her. This was very entertaining for me as I watched her learn on the spot. The news of Sweet Adalynn growing in my belly was a miracle we weren't sure we would receive. With infertility looming across my medical file for years, we finally had decided to begin the first steps of fertility treatments. My crazy schedule kept pushing back the start of medications when finally, a month into Pandemic lockdowns, I decided to take a test. I did not expect to see those two little lines. I took it as a precautionary measure since we were actively trying and because I was 1 week late on my menstrual cycle. ONE. And just as soon as that little stick was activated, there it was, the hope and joy of tomorrow and many tomorrows to come. God had answered our prayers! Thank you Jesus for your goodness! During my employment with Redemption Church, located in the San Jose, Bay Area I was honored with the task to completely redesign the pre-existing bookstore. It was one of the most challenges things I've ever did! Not just because I still had my normal responsibilities to complete but because like with most companies, the newbie given control over big things caused those who had been there longer to resist, rebel, and make every little change unnecessarily difficult. I felt so alone during this time where old cliques reigned and new faces just kept their head down running with the new vision. I knew I was called there for a reason, and even on the days I cried my way back home at the end of a 10 hour day, I simply called out to God to give me the strength to finish what we had started. Anyway, in terms of accomplishments, I'm proud of myself for pushing through. I'm proud of myself for working hard when no one was looking, and keeping my mouth shut when they were. I took these quick clips just so I could look back and give God the Glory. The re-design came out great and the decorating and window dressing for the coming apparel drops and holidays were something I really enjoyed. I'm blessed to have gotten the opportunity.
