I'm back! I'm so excited to be on the mic again after a much needed break.

A lot has happened since December 23' and I'm here to catch you all up on all of the things. Let me tell ya, it's been a whirlwind of events and January was not how I planned the beginning of 2024 to look like. Though, John 16:33 tells us that this life on earth isn't easy and we will face trials of many kind. It's through the trials that we lean in more & trust that the Lord has a plan, always. We can suffer and we will suffer but I pray this episode reminds you that you can rejoice in the suffering.

I hope your 2024 has been amazing so far & I am SO excited for the wild ride ahead. Please DM me if you need any prayer requests for this week ahead! 🤍
