    “Stop resisting” that is such a powerful statement. I 100% agree when you stop forcing what you think you want, God finds ways to allow what you Need to flow into your life. Thank you so much for sharing this testimony with us❤❤❤

      First I must say God is amazing for not giving up on us❤️ Thank you for letting God use you for all of us that he has allowed to found you on you tube and this video and your other content. I was already changing but still trying to hold on and not give up, because how would that look👀. But God , on this Saturday night doing a face massage for my self for the first time in over a year👀and I was recommended your video and I clicked it and here we are🙏Your testimony is my Final sign to do what I truly love ❤️ sharing and helping other women by being my God self ( which is my best self) how you just helped me. By the way I just moved from Atlanta to New York 2 weeks ago today after moving from New York to Atlanta in 2008 for all the things that those attorneys you spoke about had which God allowed me to achieve in that season. But he never forgot my true hearts desire. So we are back in the place that I originally choose for my self out of pure love and joy as a fearless young lady that was closer to God and herself. Thank you again for letting go and trusting Yourself and God 😇

    This is what happens when parents actually know their children. They can relate to how they feel and provide helpful resolution. Kudos to your mom for looking out for her baby girl. Some parents would be so concerned about their image and bragging rights that they could care less how much something is negatively impacting their child. Glad you were able to get out of that - can't put a price on peace of mind

      That is so true! As a mom I never want to be that way. My baby said at age 3 she wanted to be a hair dresser, she wants to make ppls hair beautiful. And not once did I even think why don’t you be a Dr or lawyer. I said whatever makes u happy mommy’s gonna invest into it . ❤I hope more parents listen to their kids want

    OMG this is a God thing that I came across your video randomly. I was in a doctorate program last year and struggled through it every step of the way. Literally went through everything you did (depression, breakouts, weight gain, panic attacks, shut down socially, etc.). Also dealt with a LOT of pressure to succeed as a Black woman in a field where most people don’t look like me. Eventually God led me to leave the program. I’m feeling guilt/shame about it and I still don’t know what program I want to transition into. But your story gave me so much hope. I’ve been in limbo for a year now in a job I dislike wondering when my time to shine will be. Your video is God’s confirmation to get rid of what’s holding me back and finally step into my destiny by listening to His will.
    Also, yes RC Blakes and his family are amazing!!! I love listening to their sermons.

    Your story is remarkably similar to mine, although there's a slight difference. It was my first clinical year in nursing school, I went through experiences much like yours, struggling with panic attacks, battling anxiety, and feeling like I had chosen the wrong profession. But I kept going anyway. I would’ve had 1 yr until graduation just like you. I too grew up in a single-parent household and was drawn to nursing due to the way society glamorizes it and the promise of good income. However, it took a positive Covid test and three long weeks of suffering for me to sit down & analyze what was happening. That’s when I realized it wasn't the right path for me.
    Im now a licensed cosmetologist & doing what makes me happy.
    Thank you for sharing your story so others wont feel alone. 😊

    Girl this was amazing and right on time. My dad passed almost 2 years ago and I feel like he’s constantly speaking to me. Random things keep happening to me, that make me step back and say “there is no way that just happened”. For instance, randomly a RUclips video started playing on my phone in the middle of the night and the time on the clock was my birthday month and day. Like how does my phone just start a video whilst on the charger on my night stand. No way right? Way!!! The video was about doing a 6 week challenge that I ended up doing and it completely changed my life and is about to change my career.
    The universe and the spirit of our ancestors surrounds us and we are divinely guided. Thank you for sharing and inspiring people like me ❤

    My story is so similar to yours! Health wise, in a relationship that wasn't serving me, dropped out of uni with just one year left, off social media, panic attacks, depression, therapy, calling my mom too. I started working out, working on my skin, trying to get closer to God, morning routines...everything you've said in this video is resonating with me. When I dropped out I was also so scared about what people were going to say about my decision. Since I dropped out, I also started creating content on TikTok about skincare, haircare and beauty, which is what I'm passionate about - and it started growing! I just haven't made any money from it yet, but I'm working on it. So inspiring to hear someone with a similar journey to me, and I pray for your continued success...so proud of you! Ps. I've been following you for some time but I didn't know your story💗💗

    @QueenZsWorld Год назад +3

    thanks for sharing your story, this is beautiful. I'm also at a place where God has allowed it to get so uncomfortable that I have to acknowledge, this isn't where He wants me to be anymore. there was a time and a season for this current job, but now things are changing. your story encourages me so much, cause I know I'm not alone, it's okay to change your path, and it's okay to imagine a different reality for myself and LIVE IT. I had to mentally process the "what will people think?" and "will people gossip about this or use my 'lack of clear direction' against my parents or my own reputation?" I told my mom about it and she said the same thing as your mom: don't worry about what people think. both of my parents surprised me in supporting me leaving this job. like you said, no good parent wants their child to suffer trying to fix into a box that isn't for them.
    I don't want to sound "religious" & tone is SOOOO hard to communicate via text / online, but I gotta say this: if you believe in God and are building your relationship with Him, gratitude and thanksgiving are important. God does take care of His children, giving special favour to those who are genuinely grateful without being grateful just to get xyz. but manifestation is a different spiritual path, closer to new age and witchcraft. it seems extreme for me to say that now, but trust me: the deeper you go into it, the more overlap they have. manifestation and Christianity don't mix.
    don't go down that route, even if you see Christians promoting angel numbers, manifestation, crystals etc. just stick to the Word of God (aka the Bible) if you're choosing to build your relationship with God. if you want to explore other religions and spiritualities, you always have that option too. But if Christianity is the one you want to choose, I'm warning you as someone who almost got caught up in witchcraft, turn back now while you're still ahead.
    Jeremiah 29: 11, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Romans 8: 28 are some go-to verses to remember that God has it all in control (I recommend reading & reflecting on these!) He is taking care of every little detail; I don't have to worry about it. And I want what He has for me because I know He loves me. I could never "manifest" or imagine the best possible outcome the way He can! It excites me to know that:
    “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
    nor the heart of man imagined,
    what God has prepared for those who love him”-1 Corinthians 2:9 🤍

    Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been saving this video in my “Watch Later” file and finally had the chance to watch this today. Thank you for sharing your story and for your transparency! I, too, was in law school for all the wrong reasons. Most High told me to leave, because He had other plans for me. I delayed leaving, due to disobedience, and failed out after my 1st Year. Fast forward, I have been working in real estate for 18 years and always did it in the background, while working a 9-5. The time has come where I am preparing to leave my 9-5 season for good and launch into my purpose and destiny. I was led to your channel, because I have really started working on learning how to pour into myself, so I can change the trajectory of my life. There are NO accidents. You have a new subscriber. I look forward to following your channel and gleaning from your experiences. Thank you 💛✨

    Its very true. It’s a lot of resistance. That means God is really trying to take you out of some thing. I remember when I had to go back into the office five days a week from working home for three years. It was a total mess for my family. it really uprooted a routine. I have been at that job for way too long and I knew I I had to put my Job search in 10 year because there was so much resistance getting to work on time the traffic it just did not make sense it was greasy. I was just really trying to survive relate to six weeks by the grace of God I landed a job that paid me daily double that job is paying me and I was so much more lighter in mice. I was happier I was making more money I was a happier mom.

    I promise you this video came right on time!! The resistance piece is something I've been talking to my mentor about...I spent so much time building a relationship with my feelings that I know what it means when I feel resistance. I'm just working on acting on it. Thank you for sharing this video, Jaz! Excited to follow you and your journey

    Got the chills 20 min in. I stumbled across your video (I’m not on tik tok or probably would have found you earlier). I’m a lawyer (as a kid I thought I’d be a doctor) who has also lost my father abruptly, so different parts of your story resonate. What you said about that gift, so true. “Stop resisting.” So true. Thank you for that. God has moved mountains for me too. May God continue to lead and guide you. Wishing you all of the best on your purpose and journey.

    Manifestation is not from Jesus or God of the Bible. We pray and he gives it to us. Nor is Yoga I used to be a yoga teacher it’s not from Jesus either. I do wish you all the best and Gods blessings.

    I find it pretty interesting that THIS video appeared on my feed today when I reached one of the mentally lowest if not the critically lowest day in my life.
    I lost my mom (single parent) to cancer at age 7 going on 8, and was then made to live with my father, my step mom, and my step moms mother. The trauma I have enduring in that new home arrangement has never left me even at my age of 25. I worked real hard, earned my masters, got in the workforce and was seemingly happy despite my upbringing and the lack of maternal love. But yesterday I reached a low point with my anxiety and I said to myself " woww jazzy ( my name is jazz too btw lol) ... I really cannot trust that any good thing will stay in my life. " 2020 in grad school I developed the absolute WORSE academic anxiety , and my relationship with God and death worsened.
    That all came back to the surface today. I called the suicide hotline , I called my best friend, my sister... and I was about to call my dad and stepmom to say goodbye ... then I thought about my grandma. I thought about my mom. I prayed again. And I came across your video.
    Jaz although I wasn't even subscribed to you or even know you at all , besides my sisters who directed endures the same hardship as me, hearing you courageously recite your own story is the closest I ever heard anything come close To mine. I know God has favor over you and your mom and dad will keep sprinkling pieces of their wisdom over you at the right time you need to hear it. Thank you for telling your story, because I feel more confident working towards another day to get mine right. Currently looking for a therapist and I'm really trying to restore my faith in God

    Beautiful story and right own time! the most important thing in our lives is our relationship with Christ and a close second is our relationship with ourselves! You have grown and changed in the best way , excellent story and testimony. I pray that we all allow our inner voice to be louder than what is in the outside world around us. To all the ladies, keep going because the best is yet to come & remember God loves you ❤❤ ❤

    @Jaz thank you so much for sharing your story. Truly resonates with me. I was laid off from my job last week and have been really depressed about it. I hated the job anyways but have two kids and am a single mom. I used to be homeless years ago after leaving a toxic marriage and had to work my way up to stability and had finally fulfilled my dream of buying a beautiful home 5 months ago after being homeless, driving Lyft, going to grad school and working my butt off. The fact that all I worked so hard for got taken away from me and now I’m left here wondering what’s next in addition to being impacted economically was enough to put me in a depression. God has been speaking to me and guiding me toward starting my own business. It is terrifying but I am walking by faith and not by sight. Your story has truly been a blessing. Thank you ❤

    Every loss is a lesson and opportunity for character development in the game of life, otherwise it's a crying game of victimhood. I lost my dad young and mom passed this year after 2 years of cancer treatments. I have no sibblings and extended family are far away. These were lessons in independence, self-sufficiency and gratitude.

    SO glad I found this video. Very similar story, I worked hard and got my dream job doing government work for a huge corporation but ended up broken, in and out of hospital and in therapy. My boyfriend and my family backed me to leave and literally I feel so relieved and ready for my next step into my purpose.

I’m a junior in college and I am just realizing law school isn’t for me. Being the first born also adds another layer of pressure with not knowing what my purpose is in this season. You really touched on everything I needed to hear today. Thank you and I pray God continues to show his mighty work in your life ❤️ you just gained a new follower 🫶🏾

    You have a great mom. The pressure on Law students is a lot. Personally I think the educational program should be expanded from 3 years to 4 years. The pressure is a lot for anyone.
    Sorry for your Loss. Jesus is real. God will move mountains to get us to listen. He has our best interest at heart.
    Weird how I found this video on Sunday. If you follow God, people will think of you as crazy. But in the end, the reward will be tremendous. You will do amazing things.

    Hi, and thanks for sharing! I love your videos. I am sorry for your loss, but am glad that you were able to do something different, leading to your current career. You have a beautiful testimony - please don't be hesitant to share it. The bible also says to "go make disciples" (Matt. 28:19-20), meaning that we have to continue to study the Word AND go to church ("do not foresake the assembly" Heb. 10:25) and be in fellowship. I would also implore you to get involved with your church's women's ministry (and other ministries that interest you) as you dive deeper into God's Word. I am praying for you!
