But in this thinking and processing, I’ve been going back and forth between what God was saying and what the culture was saying, and I got caught up. I realized that in this moment I’ve leaned more into my identity as a black woman and less on my identity as a Christian. That was wrong.

I believe I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me through the love of my family and friends. I choose to be optimistic each and everyday, believing that everything will come together as it should in the end.
So I’m one month into my 26th year. To mark the occasion, I subconsciously booked myself an Airbnb (meaning that I didn’t realize that it was one month but I wanted to do it anyway lol).

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. God’s been teaching me a few things. Hope you enjoy!

As long as we remember that our ministry is to God only, there is no need to stress or worry about the big picture. All that we can do is to pray to God for guidance and take small steps of faith every day trusting that God will make every step clear at the right time.
Sometimes we feel like nothing we do it ever good enough. But I’m here to tell you that that’s not true. We cannot let our feelings dictate the truth to us. The truth is: You are AMAZING! You are a HARD-WORKER! You are APPRECIATED!
