A few years ago a friend of mine told me a story. Her name was Wendy.
I attribute my love of names to my friend Wendy. In her o​wn words, "Every time we say someone's name, we are prophesying over their lives". That is why I found it fitting to name my lifestyle blog, "Sweet Victory" the meaning of my name, Eunice. 

An uncommon name, if her theory is true, my life is filled with moments of victory that ultimately brought me here. Which is ironic because often times a victory only seems sweet and victorious in retrospective. Well, in my life it would seem that way. I've given this writing thing a go several times and each time it has been an endearing process of starting, stopping, and starting all over again. Why? Well because I have always been fearful, scared, and worried about the thoughts and things I would write here. As a pastor, those thoughts I often worry will not fall in line with what is considered right by the role of my "position". However, I am a human being with issues, thoughts, worries, and concerns like anyone else in this world, and maybe just maybe I'm meant to be crazy enough to share them.

This time around I will try and not let likes or number of views stop me from sharing. I guess if anything, my greatest and yet sweetest victory here would be to write and never stop. Here is to hoping that whatever you discover about my life and the crazy random thoughts that go through my head are sweet even if they appear bitter at first. 

​Like they say, "When life hands you lemon you make lemonade". I guess Eunice is like what comes after dissapointment then lol get it? Sweet victory.
