GIRL, GET UP. 🤍
Isaiah 43:2 says when you pass through the waters He will be with you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned.
Through. Not around. Not delivered from before it starts. Through.
Which means the hard season you’re in right now… God is not absent from it. He is in it with you. Walking through it beside you. Making sure that what was meant to destroy you… doesn’t get to.
So stop waiting to feel better before you start moving. Stop waiting for the season to end before you start being who God called you to be inside of it. Start being that woman now. In the middle of the fire. In the middle of the water. In the middle of the uncertainty.
Because the version of you that comes out on the other side of this is going to be built on something unshakeable. And it’s being built right now. Through every hard day you chose to keep going. Through every moment you trusted Him when you couldn’t see the outcome.
That woman is being formed. Right now. In this season. Don’t waste it by sitting still.
Get up. Keep going. He is with you through all of it. 💪🤍

A lot of this journey feels like flying blind…there are a lot of unknowns and my hardest days require resilience and faith. My trust is not in people, but in God. I dont know why things happen the way they do, and I certainly don’t understand the crooked path- all I can do is just follow His voice and trust that He will make everything work out.
It doesn’t mean there won’t be tears or hard times, But He does promise that I’m never alone.
Life is an exercise of not letting the situation control what you do next- but rather lean into allowing God to navigate and just do the next right thing listening to His leadership.💗

Say it with me: I’m not buried - I am planted 💪🏼 keep your perspective and focus on whatever is the next step to move forward, don’t get caught up in how far you have to go

It’s a good day to have a good day 🙏🏼

It seems the thing about life is you don’t get time outs- life momentum keeps pushing- and sometimes not only are you trying to keep all the plates spinning at once, but sometimes they fall and break. In those times the only response is to keep going…let the plates fall where they may. Learn to see those moments that try your patience or that frustrate you- tell yourself that it’s not a punishment, but rather a way being cleared for something better.
That this is an exercise in releasing control of things you can’t control. Cry if you must and then wipe your face and Recalibrate.

You are stronger than you know and more resilient every day that goes by when you choose to keep it pushing.

You got this.

Dialysis…super thankful for it- but also not my favorite thing to do. It’s painful for me to get the needles, I have to use lidocaine to my numb my arm and I became allergic to the skin cream so now they inject the lidocaine above my fistula. A fistula is a graft they create and put a type of tubing into the vein to reinforce the support for the dialysis needles to go into, over time there is a type of scarring that acts as a callous. There is one line that goes out and into the machine to filter and clean the blood, and then a second line that takes it back into the body. Unfortunately I am a super sensitive person so i can feel alot 🫠, when i first started with the heart catheter it caused many problems for me. Once they put my arm fistula in, those problems and the anxiety they caused slowly went away. Mostly my treatments go well and I play a video game, cruise social media, and watch a show. Then afterwards I usually go home and rest for a bit, then get up and do house chores. My NYE resolution is to start a hobby - so I’ve started a paint by number which is a restful and enjoyable thing!
Make today count💖🫶🏼🎁

Putting away Christmas always has a slightly melancholy feel to it…the sparkle and shine during the Holidays help give every day a bit of a special feel. I often feel the gift of decorating is an opportunity to recall memories from the year prior and to have gratitude for getting to live another year- not something everyone gets. I hope this season finds you reflective on the moments you were fully present, not just the sparkle moments but some of the tougher times as well. I have collected ornaments since my first tree and I love seeing how beautiful everything looks together- even though some of those years left scars. I have gratitude now for both types of years because in me they have crafted a resilient, steady, creative and yes- still optimistic person. I have chosen to let those hard moments shape me into a better person; Instead of letting it turn me bitter- I will not allow anything else to take away parts of who I am from the past. Instead I take the ornaments off the tree and gently pack them away and wonder what new memories I will have next year when I unpack them again.

Happy New Year and let’s lean into a fresh new year with a spirit of excitement for new opportunities and adventure! 💖

Looking ahead into 2026, praying for my journey and the people who care for me in the medical field. I’m not anxious or afraid because God has always cared for me and He won’t stop now. I am leaning into His will for me and trying to let go of a timeline…all things work together for good.
Gratitude for the journey isn’t always an easy pill to swallow, but gratitude for God helping me get through it is on point!
May the coming year bring more love, laughter and adventure!
Merry Christmas and 🎄🫶🏼 Happy New Year 🎁
