Chapter: “Orchestrated by God.❤️”

Lately, life has felt less like something I’m trying to keep up with and more like something I’m finally learning to fully live.

I can’t bring myself to apologize for my inactivity on this app when I’ve been learning, living, loving, and laughing in an absolute divine surplus lately.

Yes, today was a good day. The move was a good move. Obedience has done me well. Guidance has done me good. Reward, reward, reward. Thank you, Jesus🕊️

As humans, we are met continuously with decision after decision. Some big, some small, some life-changing, some meaningless—and isn’t it beautiful how we are always one decision away from a different life? One decision away from a good or bad day? One decision away from building on a negative thought vs. a positive outlook?

Decisions are multiplied by consequence, and how empowering is it that it’s your choice if it’s a good or bad one?!

And as a Christian, there’s discernment. Regardless, we are invited into a choice. There is obedience and disobedience. But even then.. a mistake is met with multiplied mercy.. named Grace. Ownership and confession met by forgiveness and Love Himself ✝️🪽

Push me, God. I want to be better. Challenge me, God. I want to be stronger. Test me, God. I want to grow wiser.

And yes, there is always the option to be scared and make a decision not to—but then the instinct to choose fear grows, whether that’s your intention or the very opposite.

So we are invited—commanded, yes—but led toward:

Not being afraid.
Choosing faith.
Armoring up in the armor of God.
Guarding your heart, for everything flows from it.
Watching what you say.
Being mindful of anger. Bringing it to God.
Surrendering the uncontrollable to the One who has far more good for you than you could ever imagine.

Stop living in fear. Stop living in shame. Stop living in lies and letting them be behind the wheel of the direction of your life.

Choose faith over fear.
Choose truth over lies.
Choose courage over comfort.
Choose love over shame.
Choose surrender over control.
Choose JOY in the middle of the trial.

Turn your face to God, especially when you have nothing else to look at but the rock at the
