As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself pausing—not rushing ahead, not tying this year up with a neat bow—but honestly reflecting on what it required of me.
If I’m being transparent, 2025 was another year of change. Not the gentle kind. The stretching kind.
It was a year of growth that demanded discomfort. A year where I learned—again—that real transformation doesn’t happen in safety. It happens when we allow ourselves to be uncomfortable… and then choose to stay present there long enough for God to do His work.
This year was anything but easy. Yet, it was sacred.
Growth That Cost Me Something
In order for the growth to happen, I had to become comfortable being uncomfortable. I had to step into uncertainty, trust without clarity, and say yes before I felt ready.
God placed a clear calling on my heart: to walk alongside women navigating the same pain I once walked through—divorce, grief, identity loss, and the slow rebuilding of hope.
Answering that call meant stepping away from a full-time, dependable income. And yes—that was frightening.
There were moments I questioned myself. Moments I questioned God. Moments I wondered if I had heard Him correctly. But every single time I chose obedience over fear—every time I stepped forward in faith—God showed up. Not vaguely. Not partially. But faithfully.
God’s Faithfulness, Evidenced
In just the last three months alone, I have had the privilege of reaching and supporting over 3,000 women walking through divorce—all to the glory of God.
That number isn’t about success. It’s about stewardship. It’s evidence that when God calls, He equips. When He leads, He provides. And when we move—even trembling—He meets us there.
Each time I questioned whether I was hearing Him clearly, He answered. Clearly. Lovingly. Consistently.
The Sacred Work at Home: Our Blended Family
Alongside the growth in my calling and business, 2025 also required deep, intentional work within our blended family.
Blending families isn’t something you figure out once and move on from—it’s ongoing, tender, and holy work. This year stretched me to lean into prayer instead of control, grace instead of expectations, and patience instead of perfection.
There were moments that asked more of my heart than I felt ready to give. Moments that required humility, listening, and choosing love even when it felt uncomfortable or misunderstood.
Through it all, God reminded me that unity is built slowly—and that grace must lead the way. I’ve learned that blending families well doesn’t come from striving harder, but from inviting God into the everyday moments: the conversations, the misunderstandings, the pauses, the prayers whispered when no one else sees.
Looking Ahead to 2026: A Year of Alignment
As I look toward 2026, God has given me a word that feels both grounding and freeing: ALIGNMENT.
Today I choose grace over grind. I move with faith, trusting God already knows my next step. I love boldly, show up fully, and work with purpose. I grow without rushing, rest without guilt, and say YES to joy, connection, and soul-filling adventure. I trust God’s timing—steady, confident, and fully in ALIGNMENT.
I’m making decisions prayerfully, not reactively. I’m allowing myself to be human—to need rest, to feel emotions, to say no, to change plans. With grace, I will acknowledge my limits where grind ignores them.
In 2026, I will be present with my husband, kids, and grandbabies—without rushing through the moments that matter most. I will build community without pressure to perform. And yes—I will continue to grow… even when it is uncomfortable.
