Lessons of Juneteenth

Lessons   Of
Juneteenth

Hello, beautiful Souls... Hope all is well! I would like to send a late shout out to all the Fathers and say Happy Father's Day! Next, I would like to thank everyone who has ordered my very first book and personal testimony 'Warring 2 Wellness Mindset' available NOW at our online store. Next, I would like to speak about why I feel Juneteenth is an important holiday and should be celebrated.

Juneteenth is a holiday to commemorate the day the last of slaves were free in America. The Emancipation Proclamation was written in 1863 abolishing slavery in the United States. It was not until June 19, 1865, nearly two years later, that the last of the Southern states freed all slaves.

To me it is a reminder that sometimes God already has the freedom to our Soul written just like the Emancipation Proclamation was already written, but the Southern slaves did not know. We have to hold on to the trust and faith that we will be successful in whatever we are pursuing or putting our mind & heart to. Slaves were oppressed in ways many of us could not fathom in 2019, but their courage taught me to hold on to my dreams and that my freedom from chaos is already written and on its way.
