One of the things I appreciate most about God is His manner with each of us. There is a way in which He stirs our hearts towards Him. Be it instruction or a call to action, the inclination is always GENTLE. Each of us who believes is very different, yet His way with us is found in the same gentle love. I'm standing in the bathroom on February 15th, brushing my teeth. First comes the imagery for the picture; it has a certain place to be taken at a later time. Then comes the title, which has a certain flow. But more importantly, comes the urge to start because I know the precise moment of finish. It's less an act of movement because I know the "ending outcome" and more an honor to respond in immediate obedience because I know where the instruction clearly comes from. To yield immediately without question, concern, or doubt is the fruit of my soul surrender, and I don't take it for granted.

You'll be reading this on February 28th, 2026, in its finished form. But.

I began it at 2:03 pm on February 15th. The day after Valentine's Day and also forty-six days after my 45th birthday. February 28th is my Mama's 62nd birthday. This is the second year we find ways to honor her on our own and choose to celebrate her spirit because her body is no longer here.

I am standing at the beginning of the other side of so many promised things. I am standing on the other side of one of the most INTENSE, multifaceted, multidimensional, soul-riveting, mindshifting, guttural processes thus far in my adult walk with Christ. I would be a bold-faced liar if I said any of it was easy up to this point. It never once has been. I was literally put in a posture of still healing throughout the entirety of 2025. There were moments where God Himself had to step in and take over in my mind, because otherwise I would not be here. It's not even "easy" now in this present moment because 2026 came with an early knowing of further disconnect. Disconnecting is not ever comfortable. It often comes with confusion on the best ways to do it and soul compromise when choosing not to move forward with it. Either way, it costs something that we are not always prepared or ready to pay.

Yet with the same heart, I can transparently say nothing is worth keeping or even having if it requires me to sacrifice the promises God made me. Friend, Family, Man, Job, Opportunity, Cat, Dog, Rat lol. Whatever it is, it's not worth it.

My instruction for 2026 was simply this: Set the Tone for Something SACRED. Privacy and Sacredness are not the same thing. Sacredness is an understanding of what God has called to be kept and set apart. There is a level of trust, safety, and protection that sacredness requires, but privacy does not.

I challenge you to recognize where you need to create space within your life for sacredness to reside. It may require you to disconnect. It may require you to reset. It may very well require you to set adequate time aside for self-examination and comprehensive soul work. Whatever it costs you, do it. The space you create now is necessary for an appointed time of promise. God's word does not ever return void, and His promises end in Yes and Amen.

The question is, will you have room when it arrives? I sincerely hope so.
