I’m entering 2026 with surrendered hands. This I’m entering 2026 with surrendered hands. 

This past year, God showed me that He doesn’t need my strategy. He’s been faithful in ways I didn’t even know to ask for.

So no big New Year’s resolution.
I’m on whatever God’s on 🙏🏽

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,” — Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭

The truth is, some days, the only reason I keep going is because I know God isn’t finished yet. 🙏🏽

On this Christmas Eve, I’ve been thinking about On this Christmas Eve, I’ve been thinking about the birth and life of Jesus.

He came with a clear purpose, and that purpose required boundaries.

Not to protect His comfort, but to protect His calling.

He withdrew.
He disappointed people.
He said “no” (even to good ideas), so He could say yes to what the Father asked of Him.

I’m learning that boundaries aren’t about pushing people away. They’re about pushing us closer to what God is doing in and through us.

Maybe our blessings really are attached to our boundaries. 

Happy CHRISTmas Eve!

I spent a lot of years letting other people decide I spent a lot of years letting other people decide who I was allowed to be.

The irony? My first name, Danielle—derived from Daniel—literally means God is my judge. And yet, somehow, I made people my jury.

So here I am, on this journey, learning to trust God more than people’s approval.

I may not know what God has for me, but I know where He has me.

First, I am His child.
Second, I am my husband’s wife.
Third, I am my children’s mother.

If stewarding these things well is the only thing I ever achieve, that is enough.‭

“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety.” — Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭25‬ ‭

For anyone learning to live from peace instead of pressure, you are welcome here 🤍
