Today, my heart is full of gratitude for my teens and for how God has kept and sustained them. Reflecting on their journey fills me with awe at God’s goodness and faithfulness. Each one of them represents a testimony of His unending love and grace.

Friendship is one of life’s most beautiful gifts, and today, I want to celebrate the incredible people God has placed in my life. Growing up, I leaned toward being an introvert. I valued my space and often kept to myself, but God, in His kindness, showed me the importance of connection by surrounding me with love wherever I went. Even when I didn’t actively seek out friendships, genuine connections seemed to find their way to me.

Today, I returned home from work feeling quite tired and hungry. At one point, I almost became grumpy, but then I had a moment of reflection. I remembered how, years ago, having a job was something I deeply desired and prayed for.
