God Restores….

One year ago today, I lost a lot and was going through alot. The job I enjoyed for 3.5 years… the steady income I depended on… the roof over my head…people trying to take advantage of me for their benefit and the sense of purpose I thought I had found.

Almost two years before that, I had already started rebuilding a life for me and my children. I was finally getting to know myself, discovering what I wanted, and finding my own way. I picked up new hobbies, learned to enjoy my own company, and embraced the quiet moments that helped me grow. For the first time, I found peace, clarity, and a resilience I never knew lived inside me.

But I also learned something else:
When you find God…
When you discover your purpose…
When you walk boldly in who you truly are…It can irritate the mess out of those who haven’t found theirs. 💯

You see what was meant to break me, block me, or serve someone else’s hidden agenda, God took it and turned it around! 🙌🏾 You know the scripture that warns people not to touch God’s chosen ones? Or the one that says He will prepare a table in the presence of your enemies? That means God will restore you, sustain you, and elevate you so all can see.

And I’m living proof.

What I thought was the end was actually the beginning… The beginning of restoration for me. God was faithful and kept His promise to me when He said I would lack for nothing. That scripture took on a whole new meaning for me!

Today, I’m married.
I have a beautiful home.
A steady and secure income.
I’m a ministry leader.
A business owner.
And a woman walking fully in purpose.

And beyond all that, I now have wisdom, insight, discernment, and awareness of things I used to ignore. I have a peace that surpasses all understanding. I have security, calmness, and joy. Most of all, I have my identity, my courage, and the power to shape my life and pour into others with a mission unlike any other.

I am thankful, grateful, and blessed that God keeps His hand on me. I am living proof that He already had my life planned out.

It’s amazing what can happen in just ONE year when God directs your steps.
Praise Him because He is worthy! Today, one year later I have so much JOY!

My message to you that are going through a similar situation….hold on because He is about to do a thing!
