Reflections, Lessons, and the Road Ahead

As the year draws to a close, I’ve taken some time to reflect on everything it has brought—both the highs and the moments that pushed me to my knees. Each month, week, and day has carried its own story, but through it all, one thing has remained constant: God’s hand has been present.

This year wasn’t about perfection. It was about persistence. It wasn’t about easy victories but embracing the lessons hidden in the hard days. I’ve seen how purpose isn’t just found in the milestones we achieve, but in the seemingly small, faithful steps we take each day.

Sometimes, life surprises us with victories we didn’t plan for, and other times, we walk paths we wouldn’t have chosen. Yet, in all this, a thread binds us: the assurance that we are being shaped for something greater.

Isaiah 43:19 has been a constant reminder to me: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Even when we feel stuck, God’s work in our lives never stalls.

As I send out this final newsletter for the year, I’m not just closing a chapter—I’m preparing for a new one. My hope for you as you read this is simple: step into 2025 with the courage to dream again, to try again, and to trust God more deeply than ever before.

Thank you for journeying with me. I’ll see you on the other side, ready for all that’s to come.

Keep Growing,
