Congratulations on this beautiful season of blessings! May you continue to feel the abundance of grace, joy, and purpose that surrounds you. I celebrate this time with you and pray that these blessings not only bring happiness but also strengthen your faith and fill your heart with gratitude. Remember that you are so deserving of all the good that has come your way, and I can't wait to see how you flourish even more in this season and beyond.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26

When times get tough, courage is what propels us forward. It's important to know that having courage doesn't mean you're not scared. It means that despite your fears, you walk with faith and hope. Having courage serves as our inspiration and motivation to keep pushing forward, regardless of how big the obstacles may appear. No matter what this chapter of life has given you, only you can write the next pages.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

Understanding why things happen the way they do can feel impossible. But often, our strength grows as we endure hardships. It's important to allow yourself to grieve and fully experience what you're going through.. Keep hope alive, knowing that every season of life is valuable. Even in loss, there's potential to find purpose.

2 Corinthians 1:4-He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

New beginnings can only come after we close an old chapter. In this season take the time to fully experience what a blessing it is. Soak in the beauty of all that is new and changing. Open your heart, be present, and let your joy spread to others.

Isaiah 43:18-19-Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

It’s a certainty that trials will touch all of our lives. Yet, it’s how we choose to walk through them that truly defines us. Take heart and remember, this too shall pass. The King of the world created you and stands beside you.

James 1:2-8-‘Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Life is full of highs and lows. Know that there is purpose and worth in each one. You are so loved, and valued. I will always be here for you.

Perhaps you were born for such a time as this. Esther 4:14
