I'm pretty sure you're wondering...
Where did the term " The Holistic Hottiee" Come From?
1 CORINTHIANS 15:46 (AMP) However, the spiritual [the immortal life] is not first, but the physical [the mortal life]; then the spiritual.
3 John 2:2 (KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
These two scriptures rung along as I was going through my caterpillar stage (unforseen), and I was confused, moody, and even discouraged at how my life seemed to shift overnight. I went from being the healer to needing healing; from the strengthener to needing strength; and the "gifted" to searching for the most prized gift—Christ! You see, after graduating from college, I thought I had life mapped out, down to what I would even wear at graduation. Y'all, it was bad... but I was so goal-oriented, I couldn't let a single thing stop me. I wasn't the strongest in certain subjects, but I thought I could study like an undergrad and skate by when it came to one of the biggest tests of my life—the MCAT. For those who don't know, the MCAT (also known as the "Medical Comprehensive Assessment Test") is a lengthy exam that every pre-medical student must take before applying to medical school. Simple, plain and easy, or so I thought!
I didn't think to include personal, environmental, and even behavioral changes over the course of the next few months and even years that would lead me to begin questioning my worth, value, and even purpose on this planet. Ever since I was a little girl, I was told that I would be gifted in the field of medicine and greatness would come through me as the Lord saw fit.
All I can say is... in those last two years, and even three months before the new year, I didn't really feel called or chosen. Moreso, abandoned and disappointed in myself for overthiking and abusing the gifts and people placed in my life because I had such strong tunnel vision that I didn't care to see what was being crossed on my physical-driven pathway.
But truth be told... that's what I needed!
I needed to be reminded of God's promises, provisions, and most importantly, who I am as a daughter of the King of Kings. That started with simple affirmations, scriptures, and even self-love! I'm still learning. Compassion is one of the most valuable assets. Compassion for those in a similar plight and even a passion to help those struggling to continue on the journey before them as a positive force in their community. Because truth be told, if I didn't fall as hard, I'd be in medical school now, and paying the cost with my mental, physical, and spiritual health as a constant reminder of choosing perfection over patience.
James 1:4-8 (KJV): But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
That's where the Lord gave me the title: The Holistic Hottiee!
To show his people and myself the importance of having a healthy life and living your best life—holistically—in all areas of your mind, body, and spirit! With my testimony, you have the opportunity to see his goodness and great works-and see me live my BEST LIFE! The life I was so ready to set aside to fulfill a dream that required much patience, compassion, perseverance, and prayer.
