Hey Y'all! Happy Fall!!!
It’s been a few years since I last shared here, and I have to say, life has been a journey! So much has changed, and God has been working on me in ways I never expected. From career moves to personal growth, there have been highs, lows, and everything in between. I’ve experienced moments of deep reflection, intense pruning, and learning how to truly surrender to God. But through it all, one thing remains true: I am GRATEFUL!
As I come back to blogging, I’m excited to share what God has been teaching me—especially about wisdom and accountability. So, let’s dive into this season of growth together, because I know He’s not done with me yet, and I believe He’s got something special for all of us.
It’s been a minute—over 2 years, to be exact—but we’re back! I’ve missed sharing my thoughts, life updates, and this sacred part of me with the world, so here we are! Over these last two years, God has instilled so much wisdom in me. He has PRUNED me in ways I didn’t even know were possible—when I say pruned, I mean PRUNED me, okay! But in all seriousness, it has been a blessing I can’t even fully explain. It’s funny how far I’ve come, and Facebook likes to humble me daily with those "memories." Today’s memory? A picture from two years ago, getting drinks with a friend and a boomerang of me smiling with my cleavage out... CHILEEEEE. Talk about seeking validation! But we’ll save that conversation for another day. Lol.
Anywho, as God has given me more wisdom, it has come with so much more accountability. You know the saying: “When you know better, you do better!” Well, now I know better. Knowing better has looked like choosing not to dress promiscuously, not posting every little detail of my life on the internet, learning to keep some things just for myself, and—most importantly—using discernment every single day. Accountability for me has meant making better decisions (or not making the wrong ones) in every area of my life. And trust me when I say, I am so grateful God saved me when He did, because whewwww chile! That’s all I’m going to say.
But here’s the thing: I want to encourage whoever’s reading this—whether you’ve been walking with God for years, you're still figuring it out, or maybe you’re just feeling a little lukewarm in your faith—it’s never too late to make a change. It’s never too late to grow, to want more, and to want better for yourself. Start by seeking wisdom! For me, I fill myself up with podcasts, pray for discernment on what to listen to and what to avoid, and I make sure to feed my spirit with things that grow me. I’m always listening to an Audible book, and I even got myself a mentor. I’m asking ALL the questions because, let’s be real, my mama always told me, “A closed mouth doesn’t get fed.”
Most of all, I finally learned what true surrender looks like. It’s not just about saying “God, take over,” but actually letting Him! Surrendering to His nudges, listening to conviction, and yes, opening my Bible and reading His word. Don’t get me wrong, making these changes has been challenging at times—especially when you’re dying to your flesh. But anything worth having and worth living for isn’t supposed to be easy. It’s part of the journey, and that journey? It’s worth it.
So, here’s to more wisdom, more accountability, and a whole lot of growth. Let’s keep moving forward, trusting God with our whole hearts, and choosing to live better every day.
Happy Healing Loves!
