Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is

Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is a choice. The most regulated, self-respecting thing you can learn to do when that happens is:

• stop auditioning for understanding
• stop overexplaining
• stop chasing reconciliation
• stop managing other people’s emotions
• stop reopening wounds just to prove you’re “loving”

Jesus modeled for us that once you’ve shown up honestly, clearly, and with care, the rest isn’t yours to fix.

“For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” — Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭

Unfortunately, most of the time, what usually happens next is people may act like nothing happened, or reach out casually without addressing it, or frame the distance as YOU pulling away.

But let the truth stand on its own. Let your nervous system settle. Go live your life. Because there’s a quiet strength in not chasing, not correcting, not proving.

Here’s three scriptures that’s encouraged me:

1️⃣ “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” — Proverbs 18:2

2️⃣ “If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people. Don’t try to get revenge for yourselves, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath.” — Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18-19‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” — Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭

Happy Monday Yall ❤️

This is your reminder that God is still in control

This is your reminder that God is still in control.

Even with everything going on right now in politics. In the news. In the economy. In our neighborhoods. In LIFE.

Here are some scriptures getting me through:

1️⃣ “Be still, and know that I am God!”
‭‭— Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭‬‬

2️⃣ “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” — Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you…” — Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ ‭

4️⃣ “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” — Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭

5️⃣ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” — Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭‬‬

6️⃣ “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” — Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

7️⃣ “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” — Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Feel free to take what you need. Happy Wednesday yall ❤️

Hear me when I say this: compassion doesn’t require self-abandonment.

I realized I had been so considerate of others that I forgot to consider myself. That’s something I’m no longer willing to do.

I am committed to honoring my capacity this year, even if that means disappointing people.

Here’s everything I’m done doing:

❌ Explaining my decisions to feel understood
❌ Shrinking myself to make others comfortable
❌ Feeling guilty after saying no
❌ Needing to be liked to feel loved
❌ Saying “I’m fine” when I’m actually overwhelmed
❌ Doing things out of obligation vs alignment
❌ Living from pressure instead of peace
❌ Confusing kindness with self-abandonment

If you’re on this journey too, hello and welcome 🫶🏽

Ending 2025 with a grateful heart. Truth is, God was faithful this year when I didn’t have the words, the strength, or the plan 😭😮‍💨🙌🏽

#newyearseve #grateful #godisgood #christian #faithjourney

Right where I was 😭😭 I spent most of my life

Right where I was 😭😭 I spent most of my life believing I had to find God.

Seek His face.
Seek first the Kingdom.
Ask, seek, knock.

And when I wasn’t doing any of that, I felt distant, like I was failing at being a His child.

What I’m realizing now is that God was present, patient, and near the whole time. 🥹 Just waiting for me to turn toward Him.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

So maybe being a child of God isn’t just about finding Him. Maybe it’s also letting yourself be found.

This season feels less like striving and more like surrender. Not because I went back to church or heard the perfect sermon, but because God met me right where I was. In the middle of my pain, my overwhelm, my busy life.

And He can do the same for you!
