Walk in My Own Lane

Fallon enjoys helping people. She has also volunteered at the hospital and hospice for three years. the purpose of this book is to inspire someone to overcome any obstacle they may be facing, to have faith and believe in him, and to be strong and courageous. “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deut. 31:6). I’m really hoping my book will inspire someone to change their life. I would love to get feedback.

My name is Fallon. I’m from Greenville, South Carolina. I have a total of four siblings, three sisters and a deceased brother on my father’s side. I have two daughters, Brooklynn and Shadaria. My life was not easy, but I managed to overcome the obstacles. When I was twenty-eight weeks pregnant with my first baby, I discovered I had preeclampsia, which led me into a coma for a few days. I woke up not knowing what occurred, but at least my baby was healthy and alive. I also lost my mother in 2008, and my father passed in 2013. Many people never really believed me. They looked at me as if I was beneath them. It took a special friend to really understand me. He helped mold myself into a better person. He keeps me lifted up toward Christ. I came from a family that was not very supportive and wanted me to follow them. Nobody ever believed in me. I was even told by my ninth-grade teacher I would never be able to go to college, and I was even told by many people, whom I thought supposedly loved me, I would not amount to anything. That stuck with me for a long time, until 2015. I decided to give my whole life over to Christ, and I repented and asked forgiveness for my past. As I began this new journey, God started revealing and putting me through tests to see if I’m strong enough to overcome them. I became more humble, slow to anger, a listener, more patient, happier, and confident with myself. I lost a few friends and gained better ones. I’m more understanding to certain situations and people, even children. Someone told me, “Fallon, you are glowing. I can see Christ within you.” I felt good because all I ever wanted was for people to understand and for me to inspire someone.
