I hope everyone has an amazing New Year and that you spend it doing exactly what you want whether that’s staying in, going out, laughing with family, or sitting quietly in reflection. This is a beautiful time to pause and ask yourself how you want to move forward, what you want to release, and what truly matters.
I’m not the kind of person who sets traditional New Year’s resolutions or long lists of goals. For me, life looks different now. My only intention is to stay present with God and allow Him to direct my steps. I don’t want to force outcomes or rush timing anymore. I trust Him to lead my life exactly where it needs to go.
Most of my family is spending tonight at home good food, board games, laughter, and comfort. And I love that for them. But for the first time in 12 years, I’m doing something different. I’m getting my hair done. I’m getting dressed up. And I’m going out not to a bar, not to noise or chaos but to my church.
Tonight, I’m ringing in the New Year surrounded by my church community, worshiping, eating, dancing, and celebrating God. And I couldn’t be more excited. There is no place I’d rather be welcoming a new year than in His presence.
As 2026 begins, a lot is going to change especially my online presence. I still want to share God’s Word, but I want to do it in a more intentional, creative, and purposeful way. I also want to limit my time online. Not because being online is bad everyone should do what feels right for them but because I want to be sure I’m living obediently, not distracted.
I’m currently still looking for work online while dealing with ongoing flares, but this year my priority is clear I will soak in God’s Word deeply. I will let Him lead every step. I plan to spend long, intentional hours in prayer sometimes an hour or more connecting with Him in an intimate, quiet way. I will show up online only when I feel drawn, not obligated.
I don’t make money from posting online. So when I share something, it’s because I truly hope it helps someone who genuinely wants a relationship with God not one foot in and one foot out, not convenience faith, not a title. Being a Christian isn’t about labels. You are God’s child. Period.
And I want to say this gently but honestly if you pray with your mouth, respect God with it. I see people claim faith while speaking in ways that don’t reflect reverence for our Father. This isn’t judgment it’s advice born from love. We represent Him in everything we do.
I will also be cutting back on social media platforms this year. X will be gone. I’m choosing platforms that provide purpose and alignment. I’ve prayed over this deeply, and I trust God’s timing in all of it. I love Him. I trust Him completely.
As this year closes, I want to say thank you for the prayers, the encouragement, and the faith filled gifts from extended family. They mean more to me than words can express.
Please be safe tonight. Know that you are loved. And if you are stepping into this new year feeling unsure, tired, or hopeful all at once God sees you. He always has.
All in. Not halfway.
Hugs to all,
God bless 🤍 Happy New Years
