Reflection
Darling, have you ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of your purpose? The kind of weight that presses down on your shoulders, making it difficult to breathe? The kind that makes you question if you’re truly capable of fulfilling the calling that seems to echo within your soul?
I know I have. There are days when the path ahead seems shrouded in fog, and the destination feels miles away. It’s on these days that I find myself desperately seeking solace and strength.

In the quiet moments of prayer, I seek grace. Not the kind of grace that excuses my shortcomings, but the kind that empowers me to overcome them. The grace that provides me with the strength to persevere, the wisdom to make sound decisions, and the courage to step out of my comfort zone. It’s in these moments that I find a renewed sense of purpose, a reminder that I am not alone on this journey.
