2025 â you were supposed to be my year.
Instead, you became my forging year.
My transforming year.
My surrendering year.
Behind the smiles and beautiful memories were some very dark moments. Moments I thought would be rock bottomâbut instead, I found God there. Lonely seasons where I thought the world had moved on without me, and God gently whispered, âCome closer.â
This year looked nothing like I imagined.
From hosting Bible studies⌠to watching my husband preach.
From pausing my business⌠to stepping into a new jobâand then having to walk away from it.
From building⌠to surrendering.
From striving⌠to slowing down.
From momentum⌠to obedience.
We experienced pure joyâand then moments of âWhere do I go from here?â
And through it all, God taught me something sacred:
⨠I am more capable than I ever believed.
⨠The fire inside me comes from God and the calling He placed in my heart.
⨠If Iâm going to make sacrifices, they must be for the dreams God gave meânot someone elseâs.
⨠Discernment is real. Prayer is powerful. Surrender changes everything.
⨠My family is the greatest gift God has entrusted me with.
⨠I truly can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This year stretched me. Broke me open. Refined me.
God spoke to me, transformed me, and strengthened me.
Yesâmy house flooded.
Yesâmy knee replacement had complications.
Yesâmy car died.
But God still provided.
Healing and strength in my body.
And a circle of friends who changed my life for the better.
2025 forced me to slow down.
To step back.
To be still.
To separate for a season.
And now I understand why.
Because my purpose is big.
Because I am called.
Because I am a conqueror through Him.
And 2026⌠be ready.
Because now I knowâ
2025 wasnât stopping me.
It was preparing me. đЎ
