Give God a YES, and he will do the Rest!

Okay, how do I begin? I'm still floating and giving God all the praises for my Win at the Delaware Black Awards for Best Blogger/Journalist. I didn't expect the nomination and then to actually win... Well that was just the icing on the cake! 

The day I received the message, well inbox I was nominated I was in total shock. I receive countless messages in my inbox daily so I wasn't sure if it was legit or not. I reluctantly contacted the number that was provided in the message, and a lady answered the phone, 

"Lorena I'm so glad you called, you were nominated for Delaware Black Awards Best Blogger/ Journalist."

Feeling shocked I said, 

"Really, How? Who nominated me?" 

She didn’t say who nominated me, because she didn't know. We ended the call with me fighting back tears of joy. See, it was bigger than just winning; it was the fact I was recognized and appreciated by my peers, friends and family. I had no idea my writings and videos had touched so many people. 

I had gone through one of the toughest times n my life in 2014. During that valley experience I asked God if I would make it out of the mess I found myself in, God spoke to me and said, "If you give me a YES I will keep you in total peace."

Well, at that time I didn't realize what peace really was. Until that moment I thought peace was the same thing as happiness. I soon learn happiness was only based off what was currently happening in our lives. Later, when I felt joy.... it was like wow! Totally unexplainable, and an overwhelming feeling I just had to share it.

Through my joy was birthed The Lorena Experience! 

I stand today humbled, honored, stronger, sober, and vigilant! I've birthed Lorena Social Media, and a host of other brands such as my Fashion on a Dime , and Ground Zero The Movement. 

The next few months will be very exciting as I go through my re-branding process. I'm excited to take you all on this journey with me. You wouldn't believe the doors that have opened up since you all crowned me #MadamBlogger! Thank you for all your support. Let's empower each other until we change the nation or at least ourselves!
