Everyone starts somewhere and every season has a purpose.

I had to work a 9–5 office job, staring at a picture of the beach on my wall, before I could work from wherever I wanted.

I had to teach others before I could build my own business.

I had to put in the work starting as a Novice before becoming an All Star... and the work isn’t finished. The goal is still bigger.

I had to teach my very first hip hop class in my home studio before I could teach on staff at events around the world.

I had to walk through ReGenergation, confront my sin, and grow in my intimacy and dependence on God before I could start and lead a ministry.

I had to leave Charlie at home every day while I went to work, rush home for a 15-minute lunch break just to take him out, and leave him with my parents whenever I traveled before I could build a life where he gets to travel with me.

And as embarrassing as it felt at the time, I also had a season where I relied on government assistance just to get by. I had to figure it out. I trusted that God would provide and he did. Little by little, He opened doors, gave me opportunities, and helped me build something from nothing.

I never knew what life could be until I trusted God enough to walk through the doors He opened.
I’ve been through incredible highs, heartbreaking lows, and seasons where I wondered if any of it was going to work out. Looking back now, I’m so thankful I didn’t let fear keep me comfortable. It’s proof of what God can do with someone who’s willing to keep showing up, trust Him one step at a time, and refuse to quit.

And it’s just the beginning. 🤍
