I am so thankful for everything 2023 had to offer. I am so thankful for my church home, Port City Church. I am so grateful for everyone I had to lean on this year. I am so thankful for all the blessings You gave me this year. Thank you. Thank you Lord, for Your never ending faithfulness. I cry out to You, that I don’t look back. That I don’t dwell on the past. That I rise up to all the greatness you have planned for me in 2024!

It start’s tomorrow, and I’m ready, my God. For WHATEVER it is that You have planned! So, here’s to 2023 and 2024!!
In Jesus Name, your only begotten son,
Amen! 🙏

I pray that everyone be thankful for 2023 and even more for 2024! Who else is ready? To crush new goals? To read more books? To eat more clean, but not have a bad relationship with food? To move your body more? To REST? To have UNHURRIED peace? Because this girl, right here, is!
I love you all! ☺️💋🩵 Thank you for all the follows, likes, shares, voting on polls, watching my crazy reels and videos! I couldn’t do this, without you!
Hey y’all! Ya girl has been MIA lately and it goes back to everything I’ve been going through mentally. So I apologize for the abrupt absence. I will say, I’ve still been resetting and readjusting the last couple of days. I decided that Blogmas should just end with BLOGMAS PT. 3. I say that because I feel like I don’t have enough content to make it a full on Part 4. However, I do have two great events to share with you about Friday and Saturday!
Early Birthday Party🥳
I want to start off by thanking my friends (even the ones who didn’t make it due to icy roads and snow storm) for throwing and hosting this 26th birthday party for me. My girls are the best and I had fun just chilling, having a few drinks, and hanging out with them! They went out of their way to get me gifts and everything, balloons, and more! I love them! I did ruin my surprise party though, and I feel SO bad I did, but the future planner in me took over and found out that they were trying to plan something for me, haha. Good news is, they expected it. They knew I’d find out 😂!
For KING + COUNTRY
Little Drummer Boy Concert 🥁
Oh boy! THIS WAS THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE BEEN TO ALL YEAR! For KING + COUNTRY never disappoints, 10/10 performers! 🤩It was so fun to go with family and friends to the concert! They sang so many good Christmas Classic songs, and some of my favorites from their albums, and man oh man, did I love it! I drove on those icy roads for that concert and for y’all that live in West Michigan understand that Saturday’s weather was not the greatest to be driving in that late at night. I mean, 40-55mph on the freeway is crazy but I wanted to be safe (I was just too scared to go any faster).
I wanted to share something vulnerable with you all for a quick second. This picture below was me breaking down toward the end of the concert. Luke, one of the members of For KING + COUNTRY, was telling a story and at the end he said something along the lines of “I felt a nudge from God,” and I knew where this was going. After he told his story, he asked the crowd if we had ever felt that nudge from God before and did we listen to it. He then went on to say he knew that this time of year, not every family sits around the Christmas tree, sharing stories, laughing and having a good time. Some of us don’t have that at all, and Luke then went on to say “there’s a lot of un-forgiveness this time of year” and he asked if we had been actually listening to God and then of course they sang my favorite song, “God Only Knows”, and I lost it right there in that seat, I stood to my feet, letting the tears fall because these past two weeks have been nothing but stressful for me, and there is a lot of un-forgiveness going around in my family.
I have worked so hard to set boundaries for myself and I know now that I can’t do this alone. I decided today that I’m going to look into some therapists and get one because I know I need more help. I want to break generational curses and family trauma, so for my future family, I will go to therapy and start my path to this breakthrough for myself, for my boyfriend, and before bringing new lives into this world in the future. I want so much better for my family and children and this is the step I’m taking to do that!
But with that being said, this is where I’m going to end the blog for the year. I had such a great time and so much fun creating all this content for you all to read and follow along with! 2023 is right around the corner and I cannot wait to share even more content with you starting ASAP next year! For the month of January, I will have that Short Story, new Interviews, new Recipes, new Reviews, and I’ll be getting back into my fitness journey ten fold.
I hope everyone enjoys their holiday or at least be at peace these last two weeks of the year. I’ll still post and share content on my socials, OH! I have new socials for y’all! I created a Linktr.ee (<—you can click this link) that has new links for the blog, for example, a Pinterest and TikTok! Those links will be below, GO FOLLOW all of them! Thank you to everyone that shared, followed, and liked this blog! I will back and better than ever next year! I hope to see you all and more then!
TIL NEXT TIME! 😚 Merry Christmas🎄+ Happy New Year 🎆 !!!! I’ll see you all in 2023!!
And That's The TEE
