“We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” - Proverbs 16:9 NLT

transparency—
i have not always declared and decreed life over each of my days. However, the moment that I began to declare and decree that each of my days—in their own special ways—be victorious, intentional, fruitful and pleasing to God in all of it ways and realms, things began to shift in my life.

beautiful soul, get in the posture and habit of speaking life over your life and days from the moment your eyes open! God is not finished with you yet!

it is well beautiful souls! it is well.
peace and blessings to each of you.

Dear God,
thank you for this life you have gifted me.
I owe it ALL to you.
I owe you my life and i surrender it daily
because you’ve carried me through
time and time again.
I am YOUR vessel
before I am anything and anyone
to anything and anyone.
Every stone
you use for MY good.
and every storm
to prune me to your likeness.
thank you humbly Father.
who am I that thou art mindful of me?
Father,
I surrender and rest my wounded heart
and I let you worketh in me
every waking day and every sleeping night.
praise and gratitude
is my posture
and my weapon.
it is what my tongue releases
into the world
and unto your people
because you didn’t have to choose me.
You didn’t have to keep me.
But,
You did,
so I humbly thank you.
May I never not give YOU
the glory, honor and praise.
this is my prayer and my petition.
in your son Jesus name I pray
this prayer and so many others.
Amen. by @_4fortone

I changed my tire today.
somehow it felt bigger than that. standing there taking off the spare, I realized how I had been driving on something temporary. something only meant to hold me together long enough to make it home—to a place where repair and restoration could be performed. transparently, God spoke in that moment loudly teaching me the value and importance of spares and what they are essentially for because God reminded me that it is how a lot of my life has felt over the years. surviving. adjusting. making damaged things work longer than they were ever intended to. learning how to function in discomfort so well that it started feeling normal. the crazy part about survival mode is that eventually you stop calling it survival. you start calling it life and you don’t realize it until you realize it.
but, a spare tire taught me something important:
just because something carried me through an emergency doesn’t mean it was meant to carry my future.
because some versions of us
are only built for hard seasons.
the overworking version.
the emotionally guarded version.
the version that accepts less,
stays quiet, overextends, or keeps driving on empty
because stopping feels inconvenient.
eventually, though, came a moment
where I realized healing wasn’t just about making it through anymore. it’s about restoration. alignment.
returning to what was always supposed to support you properly. removing that spare felt symbolic.
it felt like finally admitting:
im grateful for what kept me going…
but I don’t want to live in survival mode forever.
a spare happens when God wants you to slow down
or be more attentive. God thank you for this life you have gifted me. and yes i know how to repair things on my vehicle, i just dont like to because i dont like getting dirty and having rough hands😩😂. this why i always call my dad but he’s getting more seasoned and it’s time i start applying the things he’s taught me over the years for myself and stop being spoiled to the point all i have to do is pick up the phone and call him. I love my dad. and im grateful for all of the things he’s taught me in life about life. God thank you for my father. Happy Sunday❤️✨ taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @_4fortone

dear self,

some were good tears and some weren’t. today was a reminder to you that you do not always have to be the strong one—that you can break, that you can have a bad day and it not be a bad life—that there are people that love you and choose you JUST THE WAY THAT YOU ARE in spite of. Remember to breathe and extend yourself the same grace you so graciously extend others when life comes with its curve balls. your uncle will be fine. you will be fine. your family, friends and loved ones, near and far will be fine. remain steadfast and still in moments and seasons far out of your control because the battle is not yours. today was a reminder that it could always be worse and to remain in a posture of gratitude and grace in spite of. you got this…because God’s got you💐🧎🏾‍♀️.

intentionally,
tone

psalms 147:3—

I know I have loved
because I have grieved more times
than memory can hold.
I have mourned the loss of family,
the fading of friendships,
and the breaking of romantic bonds.
yet none of it destroyed me
because the love that held me
was never truly theirs to take away.
it was God’s love moving through them—
the same love that binds wounds,
restores what was broken,
and teaches a weary soul
how to rise again whole.
so if this post reaches you,
then it is for you.
may it bless you in ways
far beyond my influence and reach,
and may the love in you never die.
peace and blessings beautiful soul,
and may God show you just how much
your lessons were never losses,
your bends were never breaks,
your pauses were products of His protection,
and how your faith never failed.
keep going. keep growing.
you got this.
the hardest part was jumping out of the boat.
now, believe God that you CAN walk on water.

intentionally,

if I knew then, who I’d be now,
i would’ve become you sooner.
i would have unlearned the silence quicker—
stopped dimming myself for comfort,
stopped begging love to make room for me.
i would’ve stood taller in my softness,
let the light find me without apology.
i would’ve kissed the mirror with gratitude,
not guilt.
i would’ve called her beautiful—
the girl who always tried to save everyone
but herself.
i would’ve written more poems,
not for healing,
but for celebration.
i would’ve danced in every version of me
that the world said was too much,
too loud,
too Godly,
too gay,
too free.
i would’ve looked at my reflection and said,
you were never broken,
just waiting to bloom
in the right season.
if i knew then,
that becoming myself
would feel this sacred—
this full of breath and belonging—
i would’ve stopped surviving
and started living
the moment i first dreamed of her—
and that is on the woman i am now.

don’t play with my love,
for playing with it
is playing with God.

not this kind.
not the kind that prays for you
when you don’t even pray for yourself.
the kind that fed me peace
when I was starving for calm.

don’t you dare play with my love,
for playing with it
is playing with God.

it’s been baptized in heartbreak
and still came out kind.
it will feed you truth,
wrap you in silence that feels like Sunday morning,
stand between you and every storm.
it will forgive what the world forgets.

but don’t play with my love,
for playing with it
is playing with God.

it is holy ground you stand on.
so take your shoes off,
and bring your honesty.
cause this ain’t playground love—
this is promise keeping kind of love.

it will heal you in places
you swore were dead.
plant you where purpose grows,
water you with patience and presence.
it will teach you how to believe again—
but only if you come intentionally and pure.

don’t play with my love,
for playing with it
is playing with God.

to touch it with false hands
is to gamble with grace.
and to lie to it is to curse your own blessings.

so come correct—
cause my love don’t do pretense.
my love been through the flood
and still speaks in tongues.

so don’t play with my love,
for playing with it
is playing with God.
