Life lately 😌💗

I honestly don’t know where to begin with this post, so I want to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to God. I tend to experience the birthday blues, and like many others, I become quite introspective during this time; even though it might surprise some, I am actually quite shy. To be more honest and specific, I struggle deeply with vulnerability. Sharing my feelings often feels like a challenge because I worry that no one truly cares about what I have to say. Despite this, I know I have a testimony to share.

The year 2026 has been transformative; breaking me, shaping me, exposing my fears, and bringing out both my struggles and my greatest strengths all at once. These past 9 months have been filled with more prayer, tears, doubts, and moments of rejoicing than any other time in my life. I’ve finally graduated with my bachelor’s degree in a field I LOVE, celebrated my first year of marriage, bought a freaking HOUSE 🤯, and become more intentional with my relationships, all while growing closer to God.

Calling myself blessed doesn’t seem enough to express how much I feel the Lord has carried me through this year. I’m genuinely in disbelief that I am celebrating turning 30 today. More than anything, I am overwhelmed with gratitude: grateful for life itself, for my family who keeps me grounded, for friends who have become like family, for a husband who loves me unconditionally, and for the reassurance that even when I drifted away from God, He never left my side.

Overall, I am simply thankful to be here, feeling joyful that I don’t look like what I’ve been through, and I cherish this opportunity to share a bit of me with all of you 🥹💕

If only people truly knew the seasons God has carried you through, they would be amazed. I stand as evidence that God keeps, preserves, prunes, and elevates those who say YES to Him. Every quiet battle and every stretching moment was shaping me into the woman you see today, and God is still writing the story.

One of the greatest Kingdom flexes is this: you do not look like what you have walked through. Grace will make you shine in places that were meant to break you, and favor will place you in rooms you once prayed for.

Take a moment today and thank God. Thank Him for the process, the protection, the growth, and for keeping you when you could not keep yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving. 🧡
