Hey! I hope that something in this letter speaks to your heart, ministers to your spirit, and gives you the victory you deserve.
Happy ten years of being obedient,
It all started ten years ago when you made the choice to finally call the police on Donnie. At that moment, you decided that you deserved more: more love and more protection.
For months leading up to the call:
- God showed you that the love you received from your family wasn’t enough.
- God showed you that if you stayed in that house, you would die.
- God showed you that there was a standard of love, and then you decided to answer the door.
✍️Write It Out: What has God been showing you for months?
✨ You didn’t make a choice in naivety. You made a choice knowing that there would be repercussions. You made a choice knowing that you would NOT be chosen. You knew your family would NOT decide to choose you, but you chose you.
✍️Write It Out: What consequences are you afraid to face?
More than that, you chose God. You decided to listen to him, trust him, and say yes.
You didn’t know it, but that one choice CHANGED everything.
✅ Choosing God
From there, you constantly made other choices. You decided to believe God when he promised that you would go to college, that you would graduate, and that you would be great. Not only great in standing but great in impact.
And baby, you did it. 🥳
2-3 JOBS: You worked two jobs in high school and three in college, stayed obedient, and impacted many people.
HOMELESS TO FOOD PANTRY: You dealt with homelessness in college yet decided that you would make things better for others and started a food pantry. That food pantry is still standing and will be impacting students for years to come. Congratulations. 🎉
THERAPY: You went to therapy and still do therapy because you decided your trauma and pain wouldn’t hold you back or go to the next generation.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP: You trusted God enough NOT to go into corporate America, turned in your car early, and made the hard decision to trust God even when you didn’t make any money.
You have spent the last 10 years serving God wholeheartedly, obeying even when it was hard, and choosing to have faith in God during the hard times. 💖
✨When we decide to choose God, everything changes.
✅ Choosing Myself
As you enter this next season of your life, I hope you know that I am so proud of you. I am proud of your dedication, hard work, and yes. I’m proud of your heart. I’m proud of the way you conduct yourself with integrity. I’m proud of who you are today, not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
💐I want you to know that if no one sees you, I see you. If no one knows how hard you’ve worked, I know. If no one knows the tears you’ve cried, the giants you’ve slayed, or the mountains you’ve moved, I know.
💐Thank you for deciding that you would be obedient to God and leave the rest to him. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for protecting me.
💐Thank you for creating a standard of love. Thank you for deciding to heal. Thank you for not letting your pain destroy you.
💐More than that, thank you for deciding that you would believe God, no matter what.
💐Thank you for trusting God and showing up when it felt impossible.
✍️Write It Out: What are three things you are proud of?
✅ Choosing to Remember
As you enter this new season, I hope you know that you deserve it ALL. You have paid the cost. You deserve EVERYTHING that the Lord has given you and will give you. Do not apologize for the victory, blessings, or favor in your life. Do not belittle, criticize, or mock yourself.
🥊You deserve it all. Do not roll over. Fight. Fight for your victory. Fight for your family, and fight for women.
I know that sometimes you feel that your obedience doesn’t matter, but it does. Your consistent yes to God matters. It matters to your family, friends, and community, but more than that, it matters to God.
Your yes to God matters!
Things to remember:
- You are worthy.
- God is with you.
- You are equipped and prepared.
- God would never let you enter a season he hasn’t prepared you for.
📣 I want you to know that you can try again. I know that as a little girl, you lost some of your voice, self-esteem, and belief in yourself, but you are safe. It’s time to explore, find your voice, and bask in the protection that God has given you.
You do not have to perfect, put on a strong front, or be put together. God rests in your messiness and calls you forth. Be strong, be courageous, be you. You are worthy, resilient, and exactly who you are supposed to be.
As a child, the devil tried to take your gifts, voice, and confidence. But baby, you’re still standing. What the devil meant for evil, was a stepping stool for you to become the woman God called you to be.
🥳 Congratulations on believing in God, congratulations on surviving, and congratulations on this new season.
Welcome to a new era of using your voice and sharing your lessons! Welcome to The Daily Way!
