One night I dreamed I was walking with the Lord.
Across the sky appeared scenes from my life.
I saw myself as a young woman with dreams bigger than my circumstances.
I saw the long workdays, the late nights, the prayers whispered when nobody else could hear.
I saw the seasons when bills were due, opportunities seemed distant, and exhaustion tried to convince me to quit.
Then I saw DiJoytal Boutique.
I saw Joyzzle Personalized Gifts.
I saw The DiJoytal Agency Group.
I saw courses, communities, digital products, ideas, notebooks filled with plans, and visions waiting for their appointed time.
As each scene appeared, I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets.
Sometimes there was only one.
The times with only one set of footprints were the hardest seasons of my life.
The seasons when I doubted myself.
The seasons when sales were slow.
The seasons when I wondered if anyone believed in the vision God had given me.
The seasons when I poured into everyone else while secretly carrying my own burdens.
The seasons when I questioned whether I was too old, too late, or too far behind.
So I said,
“Lord, You promised You would walk with me.”
“Why is it that during the most difficult seasons, I only see one set of footprints?”
The Lord smiled and replied,
“My daughter, those were never the seasons when I left you.”
“Those were the seasons when I carried you.”
“When you stayed up creating, I carried you.”
“When you invested in yourself and couldn’t see the return yet, I carried you.”
“When you were building businesses while still working and serving others, I carried you.”
“When fear told you to stop, but purpose told you to continue, I carried you.”
“When you stepped into AI, consulting, teaching, creating, leading, and serving, I carried you.”
“When you could not see the growth, I was preparing the harvest.”
“When you thought you were starting over, I was positioning you.”
“When you felt unseen, I was building your testimony.”
Then I looked again.
What I thought were random footprints formed a beautiful path.
Every trial had become wisdom.
Every setback had become preparation.
Every prayer had become part of the foundation.
And every step had led me closer to the woman God created me to be.
A woman of faith.
A woman of purpose.
A mother.
A Gigi.
A creator.
A teacher.
A Certified AI Consultant.
A CEO.
A woman still growing, still learning, and still trusting.
Then the Lord said,
“Jeketa, the story is not over.”
“The businesses will grow.”
“The lives you are called to impact will increase.”
“The seeds you planted in faith will bloom in their season.”
“Keep walking.”
“Keep believing.”
“Keep building.”
“Because the footprints ahead are leading you exactly where I promised.”
And as I looked toward the horizon, I realized something beautiful:
The footprints were no longer behind me.
They were leading me forward.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6
