Yesterday, a four-year journey came to completion. ❤️🔥 My husband, Maurice, graduated as a Journeyman Wireman! 🎓⚡️ I couldn’t be more proud.
Four years ago, he almost talked himself out of school. “I’m too old. I can’t take a $10+ pay cut!” I told him, “Take the pay cut. I’m here to help you. You’ve got me. And you’ll be done before you turn 40.” And he did exactly that. 🙌🏽
What we didn’t know was everything those four years would bring; marriage, overtime, barely seeing each other, losing our grandmothers, Ale’s brain surgery, struggles in my business, and moments of fear and uncertainty. But at our lowest, faith was all we had, and somehow, it was all we needed. 🙏🏽
Through it all, he built more than a career. He improved his credit, paid off his car and credit cards, passed every class, started his own business, and built a home with me. 🏡
He may say, “TOO EASY!” But baby… it was NOT easy.
We were stretched, pressed, and tested. And I believe every bit of it was necessary. Sometimes God stretches you before He expands you and presses you before He promotes you. When they say all things work together for your good, we are living proof. 🙏🏽
Maurice, I’m proud of you, not just because you graduated, but because you kept going when quitting would’ve been easier. Yesterday, you proved it’s never too late to bet on yourself.
Congratulations to you and the entire graduating class! 🎓⚡️ You prayed. You persevered. You kept showing up. Talk about a FLEX! ⚡️🔥The sacrifice was worth it.
