The Great Reset
Staying focused through the test of the Testimony
“God I just need a break!”
Ok.. Do you trust me?
“Yes..this time for real. Let you will be done because I have tried my way for 12 years”
Chaos….Broken Relationships…Moving back….
Now Let’s begin.
“BEGIN??!! I’VE LOST EVERYTHING”
Living with God is a funny ride, it’s something I thought I did for years but I am just learning today in my 32 years of life that I didn’t come close to living with God.
This year, I decided to actually say Yes to God and keep my word and above is exactly how it went. I am still in the middle of this journey and as directed I am sharing the road to how I get to my success.
What got me here?
I was diagnosed with a rare disease called idiopathic intracranial hypertension ( also known as pseudotumor cerebri) in 2018 and I almost lost my eyesight. I worked hard to bring the pressure down in my brain doing everything they told me to do but the real side of this disease is: they have no idea how to fix it.
The doctors promoted a medicine that targeted the cranial fluid to help with the pain but left out how it created severe depression and suicidal tendencies. I decided that I would no longer take the medicine and focus on the supplements/exercise plan I had put in place. I completely changed my situation in months, including reversing the damage done to my eyes.
What got me there?
a balanced diet for me which was very low carbs and high protein
no stress no matter the circumstance
bible journaling
a schedule
Having had no symptoms for over two years, I was officially in remission.
Fast forward to 2022, I came out of remission and it was honestly the worst season of my life. I didn’t tell anyone because I felt like I failed I had worked so hard to be right back in the place I was in 2018.
After 4 months of shame, I had to look at this differently.
How did this happen?
I was stressed beyond belief, which I knew was a trigger before
I wasn’t listening to my body, I was not feeding it what it needed and I put everyone before myself- again
I figured everything out even though I gave God my yes, which opened me up to things I shouldn’t have ever been apart of
How can I fix this?
Turn back to God, which in hindsight He had been doing a lot of pre-work in my life to make this easier
Fix what I eat, physically/mentally/spiritually I was digesting everything that was feeding my emotions and the current state I was in
Learn what it meant to trust God completely
Who am I?
I am Jessica but I like to be called Jess, I am a 32-year-old single mother to a beautiful 10-year-old son.
I use to be so hung on what has happened to me, who did it, and being completely hopeless about making it better that I don’t wanna spend time on what has happened because I gave enough time to it.
I’ve been angry. I’ve grieved. I’ve acted out. I’ve grieved correctly.
I have been called a marketplace minister (and apparently a prophet) but I have no idea what it means to be any of it honestly.
I am a multi-preneur building multiple streams of income to set my legacy up.
I am also as of March 2023 a college student, with a goal to complete my bachelor’s degree in August 2024.
What is the point of Mom Living Normally?
During my time of finding something that works for me with:
juggling multiple businesses,
Being a parent,
Being a single mother,
Being called,
Studying biblically,
Being a college student,
I couldn’t find anyone that covered everything.
Either they were a single mother with a village starting a business or a married parent finding joy in being a Psalms 31 woman.
Nobody looked like my struggle, God said I was the person I was looking for. I had a directive to start writing the things I was going through because it was important.
I didn’t know why it was important but now with Mom Living Normally I do now.
My life is nothing normal, it’s full of ups and downs but it’s my life. Everything in it is for me so this is the place to be me - my normal.
What you can expect from me
This space will be used to document just about everything going on in the world of Jess, including:
planning
homeschooling
insight
learning journey
business
What is “subscribe”?
There are two options for subscription, free and paid. A lot of this blog will be free but the portions that go in-depth into how I created/learned something or “how I did it” provide step-by-step insight on money-generating items.
It also helps support my visions, I would be eternally grateful but it’s not mandatory. As a free subscriber, you will receive email updates for all new posts and access to discussions.
Thank you for visiting my little side of the internet
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am so proud of you! For living and speaking your truth.
