Day 18. Consistency over comfort.

Five things I would have told my younger self.

I ain’t gonna lie, I got a little emotional recording this. Some lessons are hard to talk about without remembering what it took to learn them.

There’s so much I wish I could’ve explained to that younger version of me. What money would reveal. What heartbreak would teach me. How much I’d love my son and still have to learn how to be the father he needs.

And how I’d have to trust God even when life looked nothing like what I had planned.

But I’d really want him to hear this: stay open. There are people you haven’t met and moments you haven’t experienced that deserve a chance. Don’t let what hurt you decide how you approach the rest of your life.

Thank You, God, for bringing me this far and continuing to work on me. I still have growing to do, and I’m grateful I get the chance.

Day 7 of Consistency Over Comfort.

Out of everything I’ve accomplished in this life, nothing will ever compare to being Makai’s father. He’s my reason. He pushes me to keep growing, keep going and keep becoming a better man.

I thank God for trusting me with him because raising him has shaped me just as much as I’m trying to shape him. At the end of the day, I don’t need him to think I was perfect. I just want him to always be proud to call me his dad. #godfirst #fatherandson #abundance #explorepage✨ #fypシ by @deeabundance

Day 16. Consistency over comfort.

A two minute story about the day that changed the rest of my life.

There have only been two times in my life when I truly questioned God. This was one of them.

For a long time, I could not understand why this happened to me, why I was the one who lived, or why I had to carry everything that came with surviving. I thank God for keeping me here, but gratitude and grief can live in the same heart. Being thankful for my life never erased the pain of the lives that were lost.

I have learned that questioning God in the middle of your pain does not mean you have lost your faith. Sometimes it means you trust Him enough to bring Him the hurt, the anger, and the questions you cannot answer.

I may never understand every part of that day, but I know God kept me here. So I choose to honor that gift by living with purpose and becoming the man He is still calling me to be.#godfirst #abundance #blessed #fy #explorepage✨ by @deeabundance

Day 21. Consistency over comfort.

That “I should be further by now” thought will have you ashamed of a new beginning you’ve been praying for.

I’m learning to trust God with the part I can’t see yet. I’m starting a new chapter with everything the other ones taught me.

If you’re beginning again too, give yourself some grace. You don’t have to know how it all works out to take the next step in faith. #godfirst #abundance #barber #fy #explorepage✨ by @deeabundance

Day 20. Consistency over comfort.

Becoming a father helped me understand my dad in ways I couldn’t growing up. I know now what it’s like to love your child while still figuring life out yourself. I thank God for giving me that understanding and these moments with him. No matter how grown I get, making my dad proud still means something to me. Even if it’s just a good haircut. #godfirst #abundance #barber #fy #explorepage✨ by @deeabundance

Day 19. Consistency over comfort.

I’m the older brother, but he’s taught me something about showing up. I wasn’t around for a lot of his teenage years, and I can’t get that time back. But as we got older, he made the effort to build a relationship we never really had. That means more to me than he probably knows.

Thank you, God, for the time we have now. Love you, little bro. #godfirst #abundance #consistency #fy #explorepage✨ by @deeabundance

Day 17. Consistency over comfort.

I can laugh at parts of this story now, but in that moment, I was hurt. I think a lot of men know that feeling, even if we don’t talk about it.

It affected how I approached relationships. I can admit that. I can also admit I could’ve handled things better. Being hurt didn’t excuse my reaction.

Part of growing is being able to acknowledge what somebody did to you and still take responsibility for what you did next. Thank God for getting me through that moment and continuing to work on me.#godfirst #abundance #fy #explorepage✨#consistency by @deeabundance

Day 15. Consistency over comfort.

The promises you make to yourself deserve the same respect as the ones you make to everybody else. Thank God for helping me follow through when I haven’t felt like it.

Halfway through. Every day I show up, I give myself another reason to trust my own word.

Day 14. Consistency over comfort.

Today I had no idea what to shoot, but I still had a promise to keep to myself. I thank God for helping me follow through.

Whatever you’re working toward, give yourself credit for showing up on the days it takes a little more effort.#godfirst #abundance #consistency #fy #explorepage✨ by @deeabundance

Day 13. Consistency over comfort.

I ain’t gonna lie, I’ve always been a nature guy. Sometimes I come out here with a whole lot on my mind. Other times I just want to walk, talk to God, and give myself room to breathe.

And you need that time, too. With everything going on, don’t forget to make time for yourself and time for God. Put the phone down for a little while. Let things get quiet. You’d be surprised what you hear when you give yourself a moment to listen.#godfirst #abundance #nature #explorepage✨ #fy by @deeabundance

You play the game long enough, you start thinking everybody’s playing you. Then somebody comes along being real, and you don’t even know how to trust it. God, help us see what this game is really costing us.

Day 11 of Consistency Over Comfort.

Growing up multiracial, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out where I fit and which side of myself I was supposed to lean into. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized I was never meant to choose. God made me with all of it, and every part of where I come from belongs. #godfirst #abundance #multiracial #fy #explorepage✨ by @deeabundance
