A year ago today....? a moment happened that changed my life forever. Forever thankful to everyone who built me up, cheered me on, prayed for me and supported me. ? It was this moment that proved to me that faith does conquer fear. That taking a risk in the pursuit of a dream can sometimes give you an even greater gift than you ever could dream of. And that all those times I thought I'd been denied before, were really the universe redirecting me to something more. ❤?
