What 2020 has taught me

December 31, 2020

What a year this has been! I’ve said 2020 has been trash, I’ve said it’s been the worst year of my life, I’ve also said it’s had some good moments. All of the above are true but 2020 has also taught me a lot.

It may sound crazy, but the quarantine was the blessing I never knew I needed. Even though I’m an introvert and having everything canceled was a dream, I operate like an extrovert. As my mom says, I “always have something going on”. Growing up my sister, cousins and I were always involved in extra curricular activities, church activities and throw in family gatherings and trips. We always had something going on, we’ve always been a busy family. So that lifestyle carried into my adulthood. Outside of my 9-5, I have a husband, we now have two dogs, I have a grip of friends who have become my family and if you follow any of us on social media, you know we are always celebrating something! In addition to that, I run my small business and I was leading a women’s empowerment non-profit that consisted of outreach activities and events. Oh and throw fertility treatments in the mix because that became a part of my life as well. At the beginning of the year I was planning for another year of busyness, but God was like “nah”. It wasn’t until we all were forced to sit at home for what went from two weeks to months, that I realized I needed that time to sit and listen to God and allow Him to clear some things out and make room for what’s to come.

The toughest year of my life has granted me such wisdom, strength, insight and purpose that I don’t think I would have gained to this extent, or realized, had it been I the midst of the busyness. God has a way of giving us just what we need at the most unimaginable times. As I mentioned earlier, I’m so accustomed to doing all the things that I don’t often take the time to take inventory of what’s on my plate to see what purpose it’s serving and/or if I’m operating in purpose in it. Sometimes we fear letting things go because we don’t want to disappoint others or we don’t want to appear weak for not being able to do everything. One of the hardest things for me to let go of this year was The Ladies Lounge, the non-profit that I co-founded. The decision to discontinue the Huntsville chapter was something I was considering for a while. The passion I once had for it was no longer there and I felt like I was no longer operating in purpose. I felt like I was doing so much to keep it going and the original desire for the organization was no longer being carried out. Being in the stillness of the quarantine helped me to realize that and God helped me to see that there is a season for everything and that season had come to an end.

This year I’ve learned how to experience peace in the midst of the storm. This has been the craziest year, but it has been the year where I’ve experienced more peace than ever before – imagine that. There have been times in the past where it felt like the difficult situation I was in had overtaken me. I was so deep in my emotions that not only could I not even think to ask for peace, but I never truly experienced it. But this year I learned to search God’s word like never before and I asked for peace, and clung to it like crazy. God has granted me that peace this year.

This year has taught me to find joy in things that I love and that has helped me a lot this year, especially during this time. It’s almost like I’ve rediscovered my love for creating, for writing, for dreaming. In the stillness of this quarantine I’ve been able to do all of that more and it’s like I’ve gained renewed purpose in it. One thing I’ve learned about purpose is that we don’t have to find it, it’s within us, God put it in us, we just have to recognize it and decide to walk in it. I feel like up until this year I’ve been trying to find it, doing all the things, looking for purpose in at least one of those things. All along it’s been within me. I just needed to look internally, recognize the gifts God has given me and make the decision to fully live in that purpose. I don’t know if this type of self-reflection would have come about in the busyness of life.

The last thing I’ve learned this year is that I don’t have to be strong. I don’t have to try to turn bad situations into good ones or try to find the silver lining in everything. We’re so accustomed to being “strong” through the difficult times that I don’t think we allow ourselves time to really feel our feelings, process them and heal. We just put on our “strength”, suppress our feelings and hurry through; I don’t think that’s true healing. I know I’m guilty of that. Strength is not in suppressing our feelings, appearing to be okay or have it all together, or in hurrying through pain. Strength is in acknowledging the bad in the situation, accepting what is, acknowledging our feelings, processing them and doing it again and again. There’s no timeframe on healing or a limit on the amount of time we feel sad. I’ve learned that my healing is completely up to me. Also, my strength comes from God so I don’t have to worry about or push myself to be strong. So, if I appear strong it’s because of God.

It’s been a wild year, I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned more. I’m praying that I can carry the lessons I learned this year into the new year and that everything that was lost is restored and I receive what God has promised ?

Live well,

It’s my BIRTHDAY 🥳🎉💕

Today I choose joy, gratitude, peace, abundance, love, hope and all the good things! Year 35 was filled with many ups and downs, but I’m so thankful for the growth, to still be here and to be in purpose. Although I was certain this birthday would look different, I know that God still has a great plan and a promise to fulfill. So, I enter chapter 36 with expectancy and faith 🙌🏽

Also, now that I’m over 30 and closer to 40 I can never remember my age. I always ask my husband how old we are because who keeps up with ages after 30?! 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

Anyway, cheers to 36 🥂 (P.S. if you want to bless your girl with a little birthday coffee money check my stories 🥰🙏🏽)

It’s June which means it’s my birth month 🎉💕 

I remember last year at this time feeling sad about June because our daughter would have been born in June. But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey.

I realized recently that this will be our third year of treatment, our third round of IVF, our third embryo transfer and we’ve lost three little babies (I’ve also had three surgeries and have seen three doctors). I’m always curious about the significance of numbers in the Bible. I remember experiencing a series of sevens during our first round. I found that the number three means harmony, God’s presence, new life and completeness. I don’t know if or how this applies to our next steps, but I’m choosing to hold onto His word that reminds me to forget what has passed for it is nothing compared to what He is going to do. I still believe God is doing something new and as I enter a new month, I’m claiming new blessings, new mercies, new paths and new streams 🙌🏽

What are you claiming this month? Let me know below ⬇️

Today we are celebrating the most special woman in our lives, our mommy @ms_dap21 🎉💕 Today she turns 60 and I’m so thankful that God has blessed her with another year of life and to see a major milestone. We’ve learned so much from her and she’s such a great example of a loving, hardworking, determined, strong woman of God. 

Growing up we always celebrated her birthday together and when we all moved to different states, it made that tradition a little harder. So, to celebrate together this year in Mexico is such a blessing 💕 Thank you God!

I don’t know if or how this applies to our next steps, but I’m choosing to hold onto His word that reminds me to forget what has passed for it is nothing compared to what He is going to do. I still believe God is doing something new and as I enter a new month, I’m claiming new blessings, new mercies, new paths and new streams 🙌🏽

What are you claiming this month? Let me know below ⬇️

It’s June which means it’s my birth month 🎉💕 I remember last year at this time feeling sad about June because our daughter would have been born in June. But then God turned those feelings of sadness into joy as He began to show that He was doing a new thing for us as it related to our fertility journey. I realized recently that this will be our third year of treatment, our third round of IVF, our third embryo transfer and we’ve lost three little babies (I’ve also had three surgeries and have seen three doctors).

Today we are celebrating the most special woman in our lives, our mommy @ms_dap21 🎉💕 Today she turns 60 and I’m so thankful that God has blessed her with another year of life and to see a major milestone. We’ve learned so much from her and she’s such a great example of a loving, hardworking, determined, strong woman of God. 

Growing up we always celebrated her birthday together and when we all moved to different states, it made that tradition a little harder. So, to celebrate together this year in Mexico is such a blessing 💕 Thank you God!

God has really been working on me in the area of worry. During my 21-day fast that was one of our focuses, to abstain from worrying. Someone asked me, “how do you stop worrying? That’s so hard.” That was my question as well because for so long worry has been my first response to any type of threat, problem or challenge in life. Worry is the result of focusing on our inabilities instead of focusing on God’s abilities. The more I read about what God has to say about worry the more I realized that worry is a choice and we have more control over that thing than we realize. 

God promises us peace but peace doesn’t just come magically. That promise of peace is conditional which means we have to do something in order to receive it - thus indicating that we have a choice. God promises us peace if our minds are fixed on Him, not on our problems. God knows that we will be faced with situations in life that will cause us to worry, but the beauty in this is that we can choose how to respond to those situations. We can choose to worry or choose to accept peace. We make it so complex but when you think about it it’s so simple.

If you are like me and you often let worry dictate how you respond to life’s challenges, I want to encourage you to choose peace. When you feel yourself being filled with worry or anxiety, turn those thoughts over to God and practice that every single moment the enemy tries to tempt you to worry. It’s not going to be an easy habit to break but we know that practice makes perfect.

If you’re choosing peace this week, let me know in the comments and share this with someone else who needs to choose peace 🙏🏽🤍
