I have not written anything for a while, despite my mind drowning in thoughts. Many things happened over the course of September—both personally and in the world—that affected me deeply, hence the silence.
For now, I will keep the personal challenges to myself, as I believe they will form part of my testimony when the time is right.
On a world level, like many, the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the events leading up to and including his memorial stirred something deep in my soul. It forced me to confront how far I have drifted from living a life in step with God. As I sat reflecting, decades of bad choices came rushing back and floored me. Yet, along with the conviction, came urgency—an urgency to realign my life with the Lord.
A Season of Change
October will be a month of fasting, praying, and delving into the Word for guidance, wisdom, and direction. I am done living with one foot in the world—stepping between light and darkness.
I know this decision will bring pain and some loss, but I also believe the gains will far outweigh them.
I will be examining myself and my roles—as a woman in our community, as a mother and wife, and as a partner in our business. Alongside my husband, we will be reassessing how we run our business and rooting all decisions in biblical principles and stewardship.
Expecting Miracles
As I write this, I feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of unpacking every aspect of my life. Yet I am also deeply excited. I am expecting nothing short of a miracle, and for God to reveal His plans for me, just as He promises in Jeremiah 29:11.
I am determined to make the changes needed so that I can follow Jesus without question or compromise. My prayer is that my children will see what happens when you invite God fully into your life—and that they will choose Him much earlier in theirs than I did.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
— Jeremiah 29:11
Closing Blessing
May the Lord keep us and bless us as we take courageous steps back into His light.
