“Now I’m dancing on the grace that I once lived in!” // “GOODBYE YESTERDAY” by ELEVATION RHYTHM, Gracie Binion

Hey everyone! It’s be soooo long!! My gosh I can’t believe (well I can but still) that I haven’t posted a single blog this year on the website. I would say I’m ashamed but my heart just wasn’t in it. Sadly. But I want to do this now, and that’s what matters! I hope you’ll stay with me through the highs and lows. 🩵

The Year of Goodness☀️ —Don’t forget how Good God Is 

Before we get into the depths of the post, let me start off being telling you my word for the year and how it’s impacted my life. 

My word of the year is GOODNESS. The word has been spoken over my life and I’ve experienced tremendous amounts of Goodness throughout this year (all my life😉). God has really shown me how good He is by blessing me and giving me the courage to sustain myself in His presence each and every day. When I remain humble and faithful, God shows up. Over and over again. I can’t believe nor comprehend the amount of security I have in Christ and the One True God. 

God has shown up for me by showing me who is for me and against me, by blessing me with ability to lead others in worship (we’ll go deeper into this later), and by showing me that when I lean on Him, I have everything I need.

The biggest change and answered prayer is that I am now on the Worship Team at Port City Church. It’s been the biggest blessing I’ve had in my entire life and I know it’s because it’s what I’ve been called to do. Sing His praises. Took a year and a half, for me to finally get on stage but all of it was worth the wait! 

Let’s talk about the waiting. Gosh it was hard, but easy at the same time with the help and mentorship I received from JP (previous worship director) and Anika (current worship director). Those two people led me through my journey of becoming a vocalist just like my heart longed for. Then Easter Sunday came and Tee was a gang vocalist for the worship service!! Ahhh highlight of the year!! 

I’ve been on stage at least twice a month since then and let me tell you, GOD DID THAT! He knew what He was doing when He placed a microphone in my hand, and song of praise out of my mouth! I’ve come to love everything about worshiping our Heavenly Father and Jesus. the Holy Spirit fills me every single time I get to help lead others through worship! My step-mother Melissa said I get so giddy, have so much confidence, and love it so much because it’s where God is meeting me. God meets me on stage so that I do this all for Him. Not just for me. It’s about the callings snd my calling is to lead others in worship! Can I get an amen! 🙏🏾 

Speaking of the Lord, let’s talk about the Word. Bible study has been a journey, trust me. There are days where I don’t get to my Bible reading and those are usually the days where I either fall short, am stressed, or having a hard time. So, my understanding is, getting in God’s Word and sitting within His presence is the best option for my soul, heart, and mind. 

I have read from Genesis through Job in the Old Testament and man has it been a great thing to study and read through. I’ve learned so much, from the stories of Moses, David, Joseph, to Ruth, Esther, Job, and more! After getting all the way to the book of Psalms (which I’m currently reading through now), I have a better understanding of the Old Testament. Especially when at church, I actually understand what the sermons are talking about because I’ve read through Scripture and comprehended what I read. How awesome is that!

This is a lengthy post but I feel like it’s needed. Bear with me, we’re almost to the finish line. 🏁

Moving forward to the hobbies of life. 

  1. I’ve read 22 books this year! Genres range from: Romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, personal growth, Christian! Want recs? I’ll send some in a later post! 
  2. The GYM! Listen, the gym and I weren’t the best of friends for a like half this year but once I fell back in love with it, last week, I’m here 3 days a week, and I LOVE IT. I’ll even be posting my workout routine and what I do each time I come. It’s okay to fall in your fitness journey, routine, whatever you wanna call it. As long as you get back in! And that’s all that matters! On the days I’m not in the gym, I’m doing yoga, resting and recovering, a walk outdoors, etc, so there’s always other forms of working out other than the gym! Remember that! 

Gratitude: 

  1. I am grateful for my GOD! He has done wonders in my life and I could cry daily about it! 
  2. My boyfriend is my favorite person in this world, I wouldn’t be here without him. He’s gotten me through tough times, and loves me for who I am. I will forever be thankful for Landon! 
  3. My church! Port City Church has shaped me into a fellow Christ follower and I praise Jesus for this! Thank you to Anika for aiding me in my call to worship, Pastor Steve, Pastor Apollo and Pastor Dave for sharing the message of God each week! 
  4. For my community of women in my life holding me up! 
  5. For prayer, without it I couldn’t speak to my heavenly Father ! And I cherish my time and talks with God! 

Well! It’s been an honor writing for you, welcome back to my blog! I love you! Follow me on Instagram for now other than this website! Links below! 

Xoxo, 

And that’s the TEE☕️🩵

Blog Refresh 🪴👩🏾‍💻

Today I wanted to come on here and talk about my blog, the website and what it’s actually about! This blog is supposed to be about me and my life, and I’ve planned to create that vision for you all! I also use Instagram to post a lot of my content. But I do want to get back into my website and dedicate more time to that. For one, I pay for it. Two, I loved it so much when I first started creating it!! And I want to get back into that. So without further ado, please take time to read exactly what my blog is all about! 🙌🏾☕️!

My Diary!

This has so much meaning to me! Because this is where I post the most of my life at. What I’m going through, what I’ve done, events, etc. I love the Tee Diaries, because that’s where all my thoughts and feelings go. Some posts are short and sweet, and some have more meaning to them. With the diaries (also a ton of highlights on my Instagram as well, go check those out! Link below), I want to be as real and honest as I can be. Sharing my tips, tricks, and tactics to this thing we call life! Below will be some recent and past links for you to take a look at if you’re new here!

My Fit Journey!

Oh Fit Journey🥹what a journey you’ve been! This year alone, has been a great time! I’ve leaned soooo much about myself these past 8 months of 2023, and that’s not even where my fit journey began, it’s been YEARS, I don’t even remember when I actually started? Maybe 2015-2016? I’ll have to look back at that 🤔. Either way! Here we are, this section of the website is where I posted my routines that changed a lot, my motives and goals, and how I planned to get back in the gym after my hip injury/recovery. I’ve come so far with this fit journey and I want you all to go back take a look, links below. This is where I plan to continue sharing my routines and explains of my workout splits so that you can have examples and follow along and workout with me!

My Reviews!

As far as reviews go, this can be about my favorite products, clothing, books, movies, etc. Here I just give a short and sweet a review on something I’ve wear, seen, or read. I have a few already, that I’ll post below for you to go back to too. This is a great place to go for references on my favorites lists!

My Recipes!

This one is the most yummy!! 🤤 Ya girl loves to cook and bake (a little bit😅 I’m no baker 👩🏾‍🍳) but I do love to cook! I’ve saved some of my favorite recipes and I’ll link them below! And I’ll continue to do so, I’ve learned a few new ones so I’ll post those as well coming up!

My Interviews!

Here was a place I wanted to interview people on their careers! I’ve only done one and it was with my step sister on being a stay at home mom and she ROCKED it (I’ll share below)! I do have two or three others I want to do so I’ll get on that!

My Short Stories!

Listen y’all! I’ve wanted to be a writer for so long but it just never happened so here I am as a blogger 👩🏾‍💻😂! Anyways, I do have a short draft but HATE it lol so I didn’t post it and probably won’t post it. But I do want to get back to writing. It was my passion other than fiction romance novels, I wanted to write my own. And I have but never published. Young Tee did so good on her old stories! I love reading them and editing now as my older self (but I haven’t in a long time, few years maybe?) because I have grown so much. I even took almost all the writing courses GVSU offered! So I know what I’m doing, I just have done it! Maybe by the end of the year or early next year I’ll have something for ya. Yeah I’m trying to convince myself 🤣 so what!

But with all that being said, that’s what this blog, MY BLOG, is all about. Just taking you through life with me and I hope you’ve enjoyed it and come to enjoy it even more!

God gave me this blog for a reason and I intend to use it! 🩵☕️

And that’s the Tee👩🏾‍💻💙☕️
