Scripture: James 1:19

I didn't lose her because I didn't care—I lost her because I reacted before I paused. This chapter reflects on the cost of urgency, the wisdom of restraint, and the faith required to choose silence over instinct.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:11

I chased urgency instead of intimacy, mistaking intensity for connection and being needed for being loved. This chapter reflects on the hard lessons that come from loving without safety—and the clarity that arrives when you finally learn what love is not.

Scripture: Philippians 1:6

Becoming doesn't wait until everything is healed or resolved. It unfolds quietly in the middle—while questions remain unanswered and growth feels slow. This chapter is not about arrival, but about honoring the process God is still writing.

Scripture: Psalm 34:18

Love didn't leave all at once. It faded quietly—settling into empty chairs, unanswered phones, and the habits the heart is slow to unlearn. This chapter begins not with romance, but with what remains after it ends, and the slow, honest work of learning how to hope again.

A day filled with responsibility, quiet moments, and small kindnesses—ending with reflection, frustration, and the resolve to move forward with grace.

Scripture: Matthew 18:10

These are the memories from the years before my world changed—the first hints of innocence, chaos, and a childhood already bending under weights I didn't understand.

Scripture: Psalm 34:18

A childhood defined by pain did not harden me. It shaped my kindness, deepened my compassion, and taught me to become the person I needed when no one showed up for me.
