More on the Launching Out Series!

I'm telling yall! This is what's going on! God is doing some brand new stuff in the life of Sharonda B. Greenlaw.

It's not my time to lead worship. It's my time to go deep into new waters--waters that I've never treaded in before!

So, this weekend (that just passed), I had a Leadership Seminar at the NFB National Center. (NFB = National Federation of the Blind) To learn more about this great organization, go to:
www.nfb.org

Anyway, I took the plane, took the cab, and got there and back successfully! That's right! You heard it first here!
I know these might not be big things to others, but they're big to me. This person was one who was afraid to do this. I had bad memories of buses from when I was a child. I didn't even want to try them. I definitely never thunk (just kidding) I would be doing these things without some help.

Not being able to see is daunting enough when you are in unfamiliar surroundings. Some people never push past their own fears and misconceptions. They live in a world of comfort and ease. They know what's gonna happen at any given time and find that cool. But until you launch out, and push past all that, I promise that you'll never see the success and joy that's on the other side.

I am really happy! I don't know where I'm going. I don't know what my future holds, but I'm excited. I assume that travel will be a part. Yall! This is grand! So, since you are in my world, that requires you to be excited too!

Thanks for reading.

I got mad respect for people to get up out the house and try and with the understanding it might be new to you.

I like traveling and it has given me a big sense of satisfaction to know I Gabe Vega have traveled many ctiies on my own with a cane and my courage to face thw world on a bus, train, and cab (I don't fly).

Good luck wiith the future holds for you Sherry girl.
