To put it candidly, 2025 was the worst year of my life. However, I ran into this simple truth quite starkly: to Yahweh belongs ALL the glory, not just the 'WOO-HOO!' moments of a "perfect" year.The truth is, Jesus (the author and finisher of my faith) did in fact bring much good out of this chaotic and unnerving year. If nothing else, I learned... I learned a lot. I (probably) just lost 95% of the people actually reading this at the first mention of my Lord and Savior, but thankfully instagram likes are not what get me into heaven... I digress. I truly believe that God has a plan for my life, everyone's life, and this universe. He always has, provided I (we) seek His plan, His ways, and HIM wholeheartedly. In 2025, the year of our Lord, I lost possessions, position, progress, pals. I destroyed opportunity and occupation. With every loss, bits of my sanity (so wrongly and deeply attached to this foul, modern, western society) were likewise lost in the wind.I observed, feeling much like an alien to the cockpit of my own soul, as so much slipped away from me. If that cursed serpent tried that hard to take me out at 19, then I cannot imagine what Jesus has planned for me at 20. He really is in the business of restoration, of creation and repair, of 180-degree turns of repentance; always the holiest of paradoxes, flipping all on its head. I know my story isn't "pretty" by any means of the word. Especially not through the kaleidoscope of modern America's cultural and individual extremes. That is, those ways of thinking--or not thinking, rather--that are almost always shrouded in heaping piles of nihilism and/or hedonism. So here's to 2026, the year of our Lord, a year of refreshing new life. Let the record show that I am now walking forward. I will no longer worship the idols of shame, depression, or anxiety. They are beneath me; they are unwelcome in this temple of God. I am walking forward, carrying only that which the cleansing fire left unburnt. Let us always be reminded that Christ came for the "poor" in spirit, not the "rich."

A quote that has stuck w me this past week: "No sorry, I do not have lotion, but I do have motion" - Aaron Johnson (my dear brethren in Christ) 🤟 These past few weeks have honestly been such a blessing. The friendships I have found--old and new ones--I can see them lasting far down the road. The next four years have so much to offer, I am so excited to see what He is cooking. I am starting to understand things I have questioned for so long, finding peace and clarity amongst such a chaotic and confusing world. The answer is so simple: Jesus. I will continually look to my Father in awe and wonder as I watch so many pieces fall into place. I will submit to His Spirit and let Him be my one and only guide. He is a great guide, a highly reliable one. His Spirit is active and constant, and It burns like a furnace inside all who have heard and received Jesus as the one and only Savior for all. I will no longer fail to do my part in recognizing that. I devote myself to Him. We honor and worship a LOVING God. He is so much more than a man with a beard and a white robe, casting lightning bolts onto earth. He is a Father, a Friend, a Teacher, a Comforter. He is the one ROCK of Truth the we can turn to when we feel that all hope is lost. He is the source of hope. Not just hope but all that we deeply seek. ------ HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAY!!! (Nolan you did so good with that surprise party, it was so sweet). Blessed to have din din w my mother (by proxy) and sister (by proxy) lol. Did I use Tiffany's veggies from her nutrition photoshoot for a cutesy/healthy pic? Yes. Does Jesus still love me? Also yes. I love these people so much. Words cannot explain how much. I am inspired by the idea of watching myself and my friends grow together. Not just closer TO each other, but closer to Jesus THROUGH each other. That is what I desire more than anything. "To love and be loved is a life I hope to live and the adventure I wish to continually embark on" The horses made me think of you Mama, I miss y'all and home :)) Find the beauty in the little things. Find the beauty in the chaos. ***There are prolly so many typos in here lol, i did not proof read by @kelonvaughan

Don’t you realize that God is the Creator? Don’t you hear the truth? Haven’t you been told this from the beginning? Haven’t you understood this since he laid a firm foundation for the earth? ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭21 by @kelonvaughan
