As I step into my 47th year, I’ve been reflecting on what I’m carrying forward and what I’m leaving behind. This past year was a profound journey of growth. I faced deep fears and battled critical thoughts, realizing that the cost of my “yes” was higher than I anticipated. Alignment required releasing comfort, and finding peace meant embracing solitude over social invitations. I sought better emotional regulation, only to be met with lessons in managing disappointment and frustration.

Often, it felt like the more I tried to do things “right,” the more I stumbled. So, what am I leaving behind? My expectations of how life should be at this stage. And what am I taking with me? Surrender. It’s been a tough year, but I’ve learned that few great stories come without a significant price. Here’s to hoping the road to 48 is a bit smoother and to embracing the lessons learned along the way.

🌿✨ Following God is like relying on your car’s GPS. Once you set, “Nevertheless, not my will but Thy will be done,” or, “Send me. I’ll go,” as your destination, you’re on your way. Your course is set.

But sometimes, like me, you might worry about getting lost or “missing God” along the way. The beauty is, God is the ultimate map coordinator—he’s already factored in our imperfect map reading skills. Just like your car’s GPS, God reroutes us when we miss a turn or take a wrong path. It may mean arriving later than expected, but those detours often reveal sights and experiences we wouldn’t have found otherwise—like those amazing local food spots from a “missed turn”!

Some lessons I’ve learned from relying on my car’s GPS:

• 🎶 A good playlist sets the journey’s soundtrack.
• 🌟 I haven’t missed any experience meant for me.
• ⏰ Delays don’t stop my eventual arrival.
• 🛣️ There’s more than one way to reach any destination.

If my car’s GPS can do that, how much more can God do? On this journey to mental wellness, redefining strength and success, and prioritizing self, remember your destination is secure. There will be detours, wrong turns, and reroutes—but each brings its own lessons and joys.
