I turned 28 and this is what happened... life update.

Hey there, darlings! I am absolutely thrilled to be writing a new blog post! It's been ages since I last sat down to write, and let me tell you, it feels AMAZING to be back at it!

A lot has happened since my last blog post, and I thought I'd fill you in on what's been going on since I turned 28 back in May. But before I get into that, let me quickly sum up how my 27th year went. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "CHANGE". I made a ton of changes in my life last year, not just on the outside (like cutting off my locs) but also internally and in my surroundings.

I was intentional with getting rid of old behaviors, patterns, habits and all of those things that were keeping me stagnant. I forgave my father and let go of all the anger I was carrying due to my hurt and as a result to that I also started attending church at the beginning of this year. I got baptized a few days before my birthday and and life started to get better for me once I began to put God first in EVERYTHING.

I just figured out that I wasn't really prioritizing God like I should've been. Even though I've always had faith, I was kinda just doing my own thing and not really seeking God's guidance. And you know what? That led to a bunch of failures in my life. Plus, my friendships and love life weren't exactly going great either, but that's a whole other story for another time.

I turned 28 and...

Without warning, a significant shift occurred. I began to discern a noticeable change in my actions, behavior, body, and how I approached situations. I grew wiser and no longer had time for my previous activities. Have you ever felt weary of experiencing the same things repeatedly? If so, then you can relate to the exact sentiment I am referring to.

God began to work on me and He humbled me, y'all. I had to learn to let go of my pride because it was manifesting in my relationships and, I completely surrendered my life to Jesus because I could not make any of those changes by myself; these days when someone compliments my growth, all I can say is "Lord, I thank you" because I could not have done any of those thing alone.

So, like, the major thing I've learned in my late 20's is that if we let God do His thing and show us the way, we'll find clarity and won't be lost constantly. Just wanna say, if you're reading this, maybe try getting closer to God, you know?

I hope and pray this blog post blessed you in some way. If it did, I'd appreciate you leaving a comment and join our newsletter.
