On December 14th Jermany Trinity and I made the big move. We went from living the country life to leaving the city life. It was something we were already to do even though we have disabilities.
I have learned that life is what you make it and regardless to what disability you have you cannot ever let it stop you from being who you really want to be.
On the first day we got here as soon as we got in the car and got something to eat I gave Trinity her food while she was eating it she waste some of it and the look on her face was the look of defeat. Normally her grandmother would have made sure everything was set up perfect but I knew at that moment it was on me.
I reassured her that it was going to be OK and that we was going to have to figure out a way to adjust to this new life starting at this very moment.
When we got to our new home we had 16 flights of steps we had to climb. We immediately got on our knees and use them as feet to get up to the top of the stairs. When we got to our new bathroom we saw we had a deep Jacuzzi we had to climb in or we could take a shower in the walk-in shower so we decided to take a shower individually on our knees.
When it was time to go to bed we all get in one bed recited our prayers out loud and quickly fell asleep. Nothing about the first day living here was normal.
At that moment I really started to question did I make the right decision. But God reassured me everything is going to be alright I have prepared this place for you.
The next day my sister had to go to work so it was all on me to make sure they ate and enjoyed the day. Both of the girls were kind of sad but they were happy at the same time.
I was questioning everything did I make the right move why did I do this how are we really going to adjust are they going to like their school will they be able to make new friends I mean everything was going through my mind. And God he immediately told me I got your back just let me show you how this is going to work.
You will adjust they will adjust and everything is going to work out in your favor. I immediately started doing what I knew I had to do which was making sure our foundation for finances and food was in place.
We learned in that first week that nothing is impossible without God. We came to Las Vegas 11 days before Christmas with really no money except the church donations that they gave us and really Trinity had no every day clothes but within a week God had use their father my mother and my sister to provide all of that for them.
When it was time for them to start school on January 3rd. Trinity was very nervous so she prayed and asked God to give her an extra day to get her mind together and not only did he give her an extra day he gave her two extra days instead of starting that Tuesday she and her sister did not start school until that Thursday.
When I say this was the most nervous day I had ever been in my life it really truly was I was terrified she wouldn't be able to make friends the kids will not be able to understand her disability. I was terrified she was not going to be able to go to the bathroom or get help in the lunch room. But God had already worked it out. The school had everything in place to make sure she would be just as happy as any other child there.
I learned that life at the moment was going to be absolutely wonderful. Since moving here we have found a new appreciation for each other. Jermany really truly is the sister that loves to hate her little sister but will do anything for her. She pushes Trinity to be more independent while at the same time showing and helping her learn how to be the best version of herself.
We have experienced Christmas New Year's day a new first day of school and a new way of living since getting here. Hasn't been easy no but is it easy now that we have adjusted yes.
The first time all three of us was separated was the Wednesday before Christmas when we went to Central church for our real first Christmas service in Las Vegas with live animals. Trinity went to her own service Jermany went to her own service and my sister and I we went to our own service. I was kind of scared to let them go but at that moment God was telling me you have to let them grow up at their own time.
I knew then this is the best thing I could ever do. Having a disability is not the worst thing in the world its actually the best thing you could have. Learning how to adjust in different environments is one of the most important thing you will learn as you live with a disability.
Vegas life is what you make it the adjustments, whether you have a disability or not is something anyone will have to do if they want to live a good life out here. we have learned that every 5 to 10 people we see are really just like us. Every weekend when we go out I get around on a scooter with Trinity sitting at my feet and Jermany walking by my side. We see people young and old riding on scooters and we get stopped constantly asking how can they get one.
This moving experience has definitely made us grow up and adjust. But it has also shown us that a disability is nothing but something that helps you to create a new way to live a accommodating life.
I thank God for giving me the strength to move myself with a disability from what I am used to to a place with a child with a disability and one with a artistic ability to live how we should. Now not only can Jermany grow as a person but Trinity can grow as a person and I can grow as a person.
There are definitely no limits except the ones you create no matter if you have a disability or not we are disabled but we are still able to do any and everything we want to do.
Be blessed
YES we are disABLED but we are still very much ABLE. This blog is created to uplift people who need inspiration with or without disabilities showing them how to live a normal life in a disABLED body. If you know anyone who is disabled tell them to follow us. Dreams do come true. I currently work from home for Tyra Banks and I am enrolled in the Steve Harvey Success Institute. Trinity is 7 and attends regular public school and is active in all youth activities and we are disABLED

In all things apply Wisdom
The very first thing you need to do to start being wise is to fear and respect God. To say, “I believe God knows more about life than I do.” When you accept His wisdom, it helps you to live well. We did a quick study in Proverbs of all the things Wisdom promises to do for people. Wisdom makes the simple minded clever. It gives knowledge and purpose to the young. It helps you avoid traps that want to steal your life. It helps you avoid disaster. It enables you to understand what is right, just and fair and to find the right course of action every time. Wisdom will fill you with joy. It will make you safe. It will watch over you. It will give you a long and satisfying life. It will bring you honor and respect. It will guide you down delightful paths. It will make you happy. It will give you rest. It will open you up to God’s favor. It will multiply your days and add years to your life. That’s a pretty good list!

Best thing EVER
This truly is the best decision I could have ever made joining Tyra Banks. when you want to be the best you have to surround yourself with the best and their are a lot of make up companies out there but none of them have a supermodel who is in the background working with the chemist to create the make up products we have. Tyra will be the first to tell you she used to wear the other products and they broke her skin out they left her skin feeling oily and she had to use way too many products to get the look she truly wanted so she decided to get in the warehouse with the different chemist and create a non-harmful make up that was affordable for anyone Who would wear it and wear it proudly. After she decided which products she wanted to start with she decided that this cannot be something only she would benefit from. so she decided to take a page out of the direct sales book and figured out how she could help other women like single-parent mothers or stay at home moms and dads make up artist and beauty salon owners earn an extra income from home simply by sharing something they love. What I love so much about this company is that she allows you to be who you are she does not try to make you become something else she did not create products to hide your beauty but she created products to enhance your beauty so our make up does not make you look like somebody else but it's simply takes how you look and transforms it into a Tyra beauty. Our make up does not require 20 products to get the job done but only two or three. Our make up does not create a new person but it enhances what you already have into something naturally beautiful. She put years into this business before actually releasing it. She does not mind sending you on trips she does not mind paying you in advance she does not mind giving you bonuses for your hard work she does not mind you using her name and pictures all over the place she wants you to feel just as empowered as she is and I truly love the fact that I represent her company. every time I say I work for Tyra Banks the eyes of people light up and they know right then and there I mean business I don't care what you're doing in life this should be a part of it. Inbox me if you are ready to get started don't sit back and watch me join me

I AM
I WILL hear the voice of the Holy Spirit within. I WILL lead and not follow. I WILL create and not destroy. I AM a force for good. I DEFY the odds and I SET new standards. NO weapon formed against me shall ever prosper and every hand and tongue that rises up against me, shall be reversed in my favor. I AM the head and not the tail; I AM above and not beneath; I AM a leader and not a follower; I AM a lender and NEVER a borrower; and everything I touch turns to gold and everytime I open my mouth people will listen."
I AM..........
Be blessed
