I was a school psychologist for 7 years and loved it until I moved to Georgia where I witnessed corruption within the school system against students, parents and educators, including myself. I began to hate my job, cry/pray over situations ...where students w/special needs were being neglected from receiving needed support, parents taken advantage of due to their lack of knowledge and educators like myself targeted for attack when they speak out against the unethical and illegal practices that plagued the school system. I felt trapped, physically sick, stressed out, overwhelmed with a heavy workload, and of no value to anyone who needed my help (including my own children). My job was destroying my spirit until God revealed my purpose through all the adversity I went through while repeatedly telling me in a still small voice, "that job is not your source, I am." Although I was riddled with fear, I resigned and started my own biz as an educational advocate where I now use my knowledge, training and experience to help parents of students with disabilities or at-risk for failure obtain the necessary support services from school. I now earn significantly less, my income is unstable, and I provide free services to many people who can't afford my fees, but I've learned to trust God for my needs to be met and he has never let me down. In reality I should have lost my home, car and been living on the streets with my children, but my faith in God is more powerful than anything I see, hear or feel on this earth. Nothing I've done makes logical sense to most people in the world, but it makes faith. God is my source, with him all things are possible!
