While watching a truthunedited video, I found out the true Testimony that brought me to the path I am on today.
Here it is:
It all started at my second Corporate job in 2015. I was excited to be there until I wasn’t excited to be there. Two months in, I realized what type of workplace it really was, and I wasn't fond of it, but I kept it pushing because I was naturally good at the job and had a plan for my “career” path.
My goal was to become a project manager within six months of employment. I had the skillset from my previous job but wanted to receive the PMP or CPPM and become a Six Sigma Green Belt before moving on to the next role. I was preparing, and I wanted to show management that I was. I did some side projects and provided creative process improvement plans.
But to little surprise, I received minimal support and wasn’t taken as seriously as I should’ve been, so I just decided to keep excelling at the job.
They wanted to fire me. I was on a contract because everybody there, especially in that role, started on contract. So at my three-month review, they gave me a “warning.” As I was told, “I seemed like I had an attitude,” I spoke the truth to my manager at one point, telling her I didn’t like her due to how she would approach me and communicate with me. However, before that, I was told I was doing great.
Nonetheless, I digress.
Time passed, and I dealt with racist comments, discrimination, and more, which decreased my morale. I was miserable and decided to make a plan.
In 2018, the idea was placed upon me (through Holy Spirit) to start a business (LVN the MMT).
In June 2019, I told my manager that by June 2020, I would quit and go full-time with my business.
In July 2019, I found out I was pregnant.
In September 2019, I told my manager that I was expecting.
In October 2019, I was laid off.
There I was concerned because I was five months pregnant and worried about how I would have health insurance, earn an income, pay my bills, etc. But Yah was preparing me for what I wanted but with His path. My Faith was surely present, but I can say that it was not where it is today. He tested me. He blessed me.
In January 2020, He allowed me to receive the CPPM certification that I wanted for FREE since I was laid off. I completed that while I was seven months pregnant.
In March 2020, the pandemic started. My daughter was born the day after covid regulations in Minnesota began. There I was even more concerned. What does a pandemic mean? Will I have to be alone? I had so many questions.
From there, I knew to grow in Yah. I wanted a deeper relationship with Him, and I went through so much pain (emotionally, mentally, and physically) around that same time and needed healing. I knew I would not receive that healing from anyone else.
In April 2020, I started to read the Bible from the beginning. Mind you, I have been awakened to the truth since 2015, when I started working at that job. Wow! Wow! Wow!!
In April 2020, Yah placed it on my heart (Holy Spirit, I’m aware now) to pivot my business just a little bit and offer project management consulting. I did some rebranding and started to promote through word of mouth.
In June 2020, I received my first client for my business. Wow! All Praise to the Most High. He placed that on my heart, mind, and spirit and allowed me to speak that truth. I'm so grateful. An additional blessing is that I’m still contracting with that client.
In August 2020, I received my second client, who remains a client. Praise Yah! This client came through the first client. I was so grateful!! I AM so thankful!
I know I would’ve had to continue to go through so much if I forced myself to deviate from the plans and path that Yah has for me. I wouldn't have known Him the way that I know Him now. Wow. The stress I would’ve endured and much more. I can’t imagine where I would be. It sounds extreme because it was extreme, and I know I am not the only one who has felt or is feeling this.
How amazing is that?
One last thing… when I was around ten years old, I told my parents I would be an entrepreneur. I had little side hustles and jobs that I would do. Look how Yah blessed me with that. I am a full-time Entrepreneur. This is not to say it is an easy job, but this is what I wanted, and it led me to create this Blog as well. It provided me with the opportunity of time, which is why I named my business Lvn the Mmt, live in the moment.
Ok, even typing this is just such a blessing. The Holy Spirit is so powerful.
Thank you for reading my testimony. I hope this brings you peace, inspiration, and above all, FAITH!
Ephesians 1:12-14 NLT
Be well,
Ashlee
