April, with God.

Josiah and I at our favorite local coffee shop Abide on a Sunday afternoon after Church :)

Thank you God, for a new month.

There’s something sacred about starting a new month and a new quarter.
Not in the loud, what’s next? kind of way… but in the quiet, reset, let me show gratitude kind of way.
The breath you take before the next stretch of the journey because let’s be real, we need it.

So today, I’m showing gratitude— not just for the big wins, but for the quiet foundations I once prayed for and have now.

Stability

Even when it’s not loud, shiny or glamorous,
it’s something I’ve created for myself and my son.
There was a time I didn’t have this — just survival, just hope.
Now I have something steady while being fully independent. 

My Circle

For the people who pour into me, not pull from me.
It took time and being mindful to get here.
Boundaries. Discernment. Letting go of people that didn’t align anymore.
But now? I’m surrounded by love and amazing people that inspire me daily!
Love that feels like home and feels genuine.❤️

Faith

The one thing that has held me through everything and all I have been through.
When nothing else makes sense,
when my mind is all over the place, God makes sense of it all.
My anchor. My reminder. The one who provides guidance and clarity.

New Experiences

I’m learning to welcome what’s new,
even when it scares me. Not only exposing myself to new things but also allowing Josiah to experience them as well.
Choosing growth over comfort,
presence over perfection. 

“Exposure therapy” has been my go to phrase lately lol.

Health

For strength in my body.
Peace in my mind.
The ability to keep going — even on quiet, lonely days. I am grateful to be here, alive and breathing. That’s a blessing in itself.

Motherhood

The greatest gift of all.
Watching my son become who he is and develop in all areas.
His laughter, his personality, his empathy, his lessons, his light and being a solo mom figuring it out for 5 years has been the most grounding part of my journey.
He teaches me just as much as I guide him and the fact I have made it this far is testimony to trusting in God and utilizing my resources. Has it been perfect? Definitely not, but it sure has been the most rewarding thing by far.

So hello April, this month, I’ll keep choosing intentionality with what matters, even the small things that can get overlooked.
