TO MY FRIEND!!!! ❤️

We don’t always get it right!!! 😂 We get on each other’s LAST NERVES sometimes! But through it all, I know ONE thing for sure…

WE GONNA ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHER’S BACK!!!!! ❤️

Because even when we don’t agree, even when we irritate each other, even when we have our moments…THE LOVE NEVER CHANGES.

And that means everything to me.

You are one person who requires absolutely NOTHING from me but my presence. I don’t have to perform. I don’t have to entertain. I don’t have to be “on.” We can literally sit in the same room, not say ONE WORD, and be completely happy. 😂❤️

And honestly, that’s one of my FAVORITE parts of our friendship.

You’re also the person who can call me and I IMMEDIATELY START CRYING. 😂😂😂😂 Like girl, I wasn’t even sad before you called!!! 😭😂

But I think it’s because you’ve become such a SAFE SPACE for me. A place where I can just BE. And I don’t take that lightly.

So on this day, I just want to say THANK YOU.

Thank you for being exactly who you are.

EVERY part of you.

Thank you for loving me through every version of me, for giving me space to just exist, and for being the kind of friend where even when we don’t get it right…we NEVER have to question the love. ❤️

I cannot WAIT to see all the things you walk into this year!!! I’m praying this year brings you everything your heart needs and some things you didn’t even know to ask for.

I LOVE YOU, SHERRI!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy 40th Birthday to my beautiful sister, Taira Jean-Bart! 🎉🎂❤️

Man, 40 years! Today is your day, and I just want you to know how much I love you and how proud I am of the woman you are and everything you have accomplished.

This is more than my sister. This is my twin, my ride or die for life! ❤️ It still makes me laugh that we were born one day apart. Your birthday today and mine tomorrow. We have always had that special connection.

And even though she is my younger sister, somehow she has spent her whole life acting like she is the older one 😂😂 Always looking out for me, always having my back, always making sure her brother is good.

Through all the different chapters of life, one thing I have always known is that my sister is there. That means more to me than I could ever put into words.

Taira, I hope you truly take in this moment. 40 years of life, growth, memories, accomplishments, lessons and blessings, with so much more still ahead of you. I am excited for this next chapter of your life and everything that is coming with it.

I love you forever, sis. No matter where life takes us, you already know what it is. Brother and sister. Twins. Ride or die for life. ❤️

Everybody help me wish my beautiful sister Taira Jean-Bart a HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY!!! 🎂🎉🥳❤️

Love you sis! Happy 40th! ❤️🙏🏾 #Happy40thBirthday #TairaJeanBart #HappyBirthdaySis #MySister #MyTwin #RideOrDieForLife #SiblingLove #FamilyFirst #SisterLove #ForeverFamily #BlessedToHaveYou #Chapter40 #Fabulous40 #CheersTo40 #BirthdayQueen #JeanBartFamily #LoveYouSis #SeptemberBirthdays #VirgoSeason #40yearsblessed by @tairajb

Chapter 40

I keep coming back to one question:

God, what have the first 40 years been preparing me for?

And maybe I don’t need the answer yet.

Through it ALL…

GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL.

At 40, I think one of the greatest gifts is simply being able to say…

THANK YOU GOD 🙏🏽

So I’m not entering 40 needing to know EVERYTHING that’s next.

I’m entering remembering Who has been with me all along.

“Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years…” — Deuteronomy 8:2

And THAT is how I’m walking into Chapter 40…
REMEMBERING.

Remembering every way He made.
Every door He opened.
Every prayer He answered.
Every time He carried me when I didn’t have the strength to carry myself.

The same God who kept me THEN is keeping me NOW.
And the same God who brought me HERE is already waiting for me THERE. ❤️

So no, I don’t need to know exactly what’s next.

I KNOW WHO’S LEADING ME.

40 years down, and if I’ve learned anything, it’s this:

GOD HAS NEVER FAILED ME YET.

So here’s to Chapter 40. 🥂 by @tairajb

There are SO MANY things I wish someone would’ve poured into me when I was younger.

I had to learn that I have a BIG heart. And when I love you…BABYYYYY, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!! 😂🧡

But I also had to learn that not everyone has the capacity to reciprocate that kind of love. Not everyone will appreciate it. Not everyone will know what to do with it.

AND THAT’S OKAY.

I LOVE ANYWAY. ❤️

I just learned that loving people doesn’t mean losing myself in the process.

So to every young girl and young woman who needs this reminder:

YOU ARE RIGHT WHERE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

Don’t let ANYONE make you doubt that. And I don’t care who that person is!!!

People may misunderstand you.
People may overlook you.
People may even try to make you question who you are.

BUT GOD KNOWS YOU BEST. ❤️

Trust what HE says about you more than what anybody else thinks about you.

Baby girl, keep that BIG heart. Just make sure you give GOD the authority to teach you where, when, and how to pour it. ❤️🙌🏾

I had to put this one on the MAIN PAGE because this one is VERY present day. 😩❤️

Like, I’m not sharing something I already made it through. I’m literally living through this lesson RIGHT NOW. 😂😭

God is stretching me in vulnerability, challenging the parts of me that would rather keep it together, and teaching me that obedience doesn’t always feel comfortable while you’re IN it.

And if you know me personally… you already know I DO NOT LIKE IT HERE. 😂😂😂

And even when I don’t completely understand why He’s requiring certain things from me, I trust Him enough to keep giving Him my YES. ❤️ by @tairajb

Today was a better day.

Around the 30-minute mark, I’m usually DONE. 😂 Like okay body, we did what needed to be done!

But today was different.

Today, grief made me push to 45 minutes.

And whew… it felt SO good.

I didn’t realize how much I needed to move. To breathe. To stretch. To push through those extra 15 minutes and give some of what I’ve been carrying somewhere to go.

Grief is interesting because it doesn’t just live in your thoughts…it can sit in your body too.

Today, Pilates felt like a release.

Not because I’m suddenly over it.
Not because I’m not still grieving.
Not because everything is back to normal.

But simply because today was a better day. 🥹❤️

And right now, I’m learning to be grateful for the better days when they come.

So today, I’m celebrating my little win:

45 minutes.
A good sweat.
A needed release.
And a heart that feels just a little bit lighter. 🫶🏾

And to anyone else who is dealing with grief right now, remember: One day at a time! Give yourself permission to feel whatever that day brings. by @tairajb

The moment you stop growing, you start dying.

Growth hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it. I thank God for pushing me beyond my comfort zone, stretching me, and showing me what’s possible on the other side of obedience.

Proud of how far I’ve come. Grateful for the process. ✨ by @tairajb

Can’t nobody tell me my God doesn’t care about the smallest details of my life! 🥹🌻

I woke up this morning crying to the Lord about something so minor, telling Him my feelings were hurt. And at the same time… I knew exactly what He was asking me to do, and I still chose obedience.

Cried my lil heart out, went to work not my usual happy self, and had to go right back to God like, “Lord… my feelings are legit hurt.” 😭

And what He do? Put it on a friend’s heart to send me sunflowers. 🌻

It’s really the little things. The smallest details. The quiet reminders that God sees us, hears us, and cares deeply about every part of our lives… even the things we think are too small to bring to Him.

Everybody keeps asking me how I feel… and the truth is, I’m still trying to find the words.

All I can say is that I’m honored, blessed, and deeply grateful.

Grateful for a God who never took His hands off of me… even in the moments I didn’t recognize His presence. Even when I didn’t always get it right… He never let me go.

Honored to be chosen—me, of all people—to minister to His people. That alone humbles me.

And blessed… because my past does not define me. God saw me, kept me, and still called me.

This moment means so much more than what people see on the outside. It represents growth, surrender, healing, and God’s faithfulness over my life.

To everyone who showed up for me—those who drove, flew in, or came last minute without hesitation… thank you. Your love filled that room, and I felt every bit of it. I don’t take that kind of love lightly.

Seeing my former students there… hearing your words… it reminded me that purpose is real, and God uses every part of our journey.

To my Pastors—thank you for seeing me!!!! Thank you for speaking to who God called me to be. Thank you for pushing me, covering me, and believing in me. Thank you for bringing my God given voice to life!!!! @theeladyfreey @iamdjyarborough

To God be all the glory… for every step, every lesson, every tear, and every victory.

And in my heart, I know… this is only the beginning 🤍✨

When I sit back and really think about this moment… I get emotional.

Because I know where God brought me from.

There were seasons I didn’t look like what He promised…
moments I didn’t feel worthy…
times I could’ve walked away…

But His love never changed.
His hand never left me.
And His calling never failed.

Now here I am… stepping into what He spoke over my life.

Not because I’m perfect…
But because He is faithful.

✨ This is more than an ordination…
This is evidence that God keeps His word.

And I would love for you to be in the room as we celebrate what God is doing—not just in me, but in all of us walking in purpose. by @tairajb
