Family Fun

Friday-Goins Squad: Party of 7 ( The Introduction)

Great Evening yall! Thanks for tuning in again.

So, today I just felt like getting on here and giving you all a behind the scene feel of my mompreneur life. In case you all didn’t know, www.jerrygoins.com and I have 5 children and life, work, love, and family balance in our home gets tough sometimes. I mean it was already a juggling act, and then here comes Covid-19 to make life a lot more challenging, to say the least.

But before I get in too deep, I guess I need to get you familiar with Jerry and me first. The crazy thing about this month is, next Wednesday we’ll be celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary. We met in 2014, officially, but he hopped in my DM back in 2013, but he never let me get away from the “OPPORTUNITY” to change my life with him. What do I mean by this, well this nerd of mine has been in network marketing for over 6 years, and when I was single mama, don’t need a man for anything, I got my own car, got my own house, two jobs work hard, you know a bad broad, there he was in my DM trying to help me level up financially in life. Seeing as how, why, and when this went down, trust me this was God himself linking us too up. Well, I told him I didn’t need it and moved on with my life, and a year later right before everything in life came crumbling down, bing, “Heyyyyy, just following up.” He is the follow-up king, I swear. Well, he hit me when he saw me cop a 750LI so I guess he was going to shoot his shot again, but this time even though life was good, I gave it a listened and joined him in a venture called WakeupNow. I got pumped about it and just as soon as I was about to go in, he hit me like, it’s time for a #Newbeginning and man was it…..#Novae was introduced to my life.

Here we are, dressed in all white, living it up in the 305 on a huge Yacht in Miami. If you feel like I left a whole lot, I sure the heck did. I have a huge story to tell, but for now, you’re just getting snippets, lol. Hang on though….

See when he hit me back up in September of 2014 I didn’t know that within 30 days my entire world would crumble, I lost everything yall. Yes, I lost my job, the cars, the house, and I was the DOING BAD broad, pun intended. I put on this huge front but finally had to break down and be honest about my situation, but I took the industry by storm as a newbie and leveled all the way with the opportunity. Fast forwarding, over time we hit city after city, never had a real liking for each other, well we kept it professional let me now front. But Miami changed that, God stepped in and we met each other in the dark places of our lives and began leveling up together.

I still remember being like a schoolgirl, talking for hours on the phone, meeting his children via phone, him sending us pizza when I was low on funds, falling asleep on the phone after threeways and conference calls, and being on the phone with him in the morning to wake him up to head to work, because again we fell asleep on the phone together. Time seduced us and fast-forwarding all the way to August 2015 I moved to Wilmington running from being homeless again, moved in with him, leveled up in the business again, and in 2016 he popped the question after family putt-putt at Carolina Beach, and in April of 2017, we tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on the Riverwalk of Downtown Wilmington.

Things haven’t always been picture-perfect, but my God it’s been worth it. Our story still trips me out, but here we are after many trials and tribulations, still married, running two more like three businesses and managing 5 children, building a legacy together.

I guess we weren’t crowned a #Powercouple for anything because listen, it’s taken a lot to stay together and win together. I mean it’s my blog, so I know I’m not in the wrong place to be real. We aren’t your typical couple by a long shot, and I truly thank God had plans for Jerry to be in my life. I know for a fact he was meant just for me, because baby it take a special kind of man to handle me and all the brokenness I’ve had to fight through.

That is the main reason I took time to write this blog today, because eventhough we’re going through this pandemic, it has given me time to appreciate the things I took for granted about us Jerry, and it was helped me heal in a way I can’t even describe. You didn’t have to unpack all of my baggage or “our” sons but you did and with so much grace and understanding.

So I wrote this today, posted it in hopes that you’d find it in time, and never would I have imagined either spending Quarantine with you, but I didn’t imagine I’d ever be a woman who would have a man of God to build a legacy with either, but you’re here. After all the brokeness, singleness, abuse, heartache, and scars, God loved me so much that he sent me you, so let’s level up love. No looking back, I’m not trying to be Lot’s wife, I’m trying to be everything in a wife you need me to be.

So until next time,
