BIG GIRL TIME

For so much of my life, I’ve looked at different areas and seen nothing but failure. Job failures. Relationship failures. Friendship failures. Even spiritual failures. I used to carry them like heavy weights, reminders of what I couldn’t get right.

But over time, I’ve realized something that shifted everything, none of those moments were just failures they were testimonies. Every “no,” every heartbreak, every disappointment was actually a stepping stone toward the version of me I’m becoming.

I used to ask God, “When will it be my turn? When will it be my turn for love, for money, for success, for closeness with You?” That question replayed in my head more times than I can count. But now I see it’s been my turn all along.

God has been allowing me glimpses of my future in pieces. He’s been shaping me quietly, teaching me through small wins and small losses, preparing me for a life that is full of everything: love, prosperity, peace, sadness, happiness, grief, and joy. A life that is rich not because it’s perfect, but because it’s whole.

And now? I finally see it. I see the progress. I see the growth. I see the hand of God over my life, molding me into someone who can carry the weight of His blessings.

Today, I’m grateful. Grateful that I can travel the world. Grateful that I can love my boyfriend, my friends, and my family. Grateful that I have a full-time job, limbs that move, bills that get paid, and eyes to see the beauty around me. Grateful that through it all, God has never stopped favoring me.

God has never stopped loving me.

And for that, all I can say is: thank You, God.
