What God’s Been Teaching Me About Love Lately
I have been in such a real season lately where God keeps bringing me back to the importance of relationships. With this move coming up and selling all my stuff, everything feels so real. And when my boyfriend came to visit for my birthday, it honestly hit me how much I had been missing with him. Long distance makes it easy to act like everything is fine, but seeing him in person showed me the little ways I had been neglecting our relationship. Not on purpose, just because life gets loud. It reminded me that love is honestly the most important thing we have. The Bible talks about that a lot. It reminds us that men are called to lead and women are called to support. And I know people hear that and think it means something old. But it is not that. Supporting your partner does not mean shrinking yourself. It means bringing peace. It means helping where he needs it. It means speaking life over him. It means being his strength when he is tired. Eve came from Adam’s rib which shows that we walk side by side. Equal. Different roles. Same worth. And I have been struggling with that balance. I live in a place where everyone is obsessed with work and career. And I love working too, but I have noticed that if something does not align with my purpose, it drains me. God has been showing me that my mission starts with the people He gave me. My family. My relationship. My friendships. If God has been showing you something about love or partnership lately and you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to hear it. These conversations always help me grow too.

@Debbie Bailey Thank you so much for sharing this. I really needed to hear it. First Corinthians 13 always hits different when you really sit with it, and you’re right, that kind of love is something I want to grow into more. I love that you brought up Matthew 6:33 too. That verse has been coming up in my life a lot lately and it always brings me back to what actually matters. You’re so right about work. It is a blessing but it is not the point of life. I want to live the kind of life where I am present with the people God has given me and not so distracted by everything else. Thank you for taking the time to write this. It means more than you know.
Transition Season
Hey everyone 💛 Just wanted to check in and share a little life update. Things have been really busy lately, and today it all started to feel very real. I just finished my last full time day at my current job because I am getting ready to move back home. Next week I will be selling most of my furniture and things on Facebook Marketplace, talking to someone about taking over my lease, and sorting through all the little details that come with moving. It feels like a lot to juggle, but the more I sit with it, the more confident and at peace I feel with my decision. Even though I am excited to go back to the people who love me the most, it is still scary and a little sad. I have built a life here. I will miss my apartment, my independence, and the friends I have made. But deep down I know this next chapter is the right one, and I am ready for whatever God has planned. Anyway, enough about me. How is everyone else doing? What have you all been up to? I would love to hear what is going on in your world and check in with each of you 🤍

@Scout Sauls I’m so excited to be with you all and spend more intentional time together, and to get to know you even deeper. How have you been enjoying basketball? How are the new teammates and coaches? And please update me on your friends too!!

Hi Sultana! Not too much, just trying to take things one day at a time lately. How about you?
Big Life Update
When I was 18, I packed up my car and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida for college. I did not really know what to expect, but I was so ready to start fresh and figure out who I was meant to be. Fast forward to this May, I graduated college. What I thought would feel like a new beginning honestly ended up feeling a little bit like heartbreak. My stepdad and mom are going through a really hard divorce, and I have been trying to process it while living miles away from all my family in South Carolina. I have been working full time, but lately I have felt drained, lonely, and disconnected. Not just from the people I love, but from myself and from God. It feels like I know He is there, but I have not been showing up the way I want to. After a lot of praying and reflecting, I realized I needed a change. So this week, I did something big. I quit my job and decided to move back home to South Carolina. It is scary, but I know deep down it is the right step. I will still be working about 10 hours a week remotely, but mostly, I am giving myself space to breathe, reset, and rebuild. And part of that for me is pouring more into this group. This space has always meant a lot to me, and I want it to be a place where women, especially those navigating their own in between seasons, can come to feel understood and less alone. If you have ever been in that place where life feels uncertain or heavy, know that you are not the only one. I see you, I have been you, and I want this group to be a space that reminds us all we do not have to go through it by ourselves. If you know someone who could use that kind of support right now, invite them in. Let’s grow this community together and create a space that feels honest, faith filled, and full of women who lift each other up. I really believe we are better when we walk through it together. 💛

@Sultana Najma Thank you so much for your kind words. That touched my heart. 💛 Some days it doesn’t feel like I am strong at all. This season has felt really heavy and hard to get through, but I am trying to take it one day at a time and trust that things will get better.
Feeling Stretched Thin and Needing Help
Hey everyone, I could use some advice right now. Post grad life has been a lot. I have been working two jobs and doing really well in both, but honestly, I feel like I have been running on fumes. I am proud of how hard I have been working and how much I am growing in my career, but lately it feels like every ounce of energy I have is going into survival mode. Paying rent, groceries, bills. I just do not know how to make time for myself anymore. When I am not working, I try to pour whatever I have left into the people I love. My friends and my boyfriend really keep me grounded, but that usually leaves me with nothing left for me. I have been trying to prioritize sleep because I know I need energy, but I barely have time to work out, eat real meals, or just breathe. I guess I am just asking for some guidance or encouragement from people who have gone through seasons like this. How do you find balance when everything feels like a priority? How do you know what is worth pouring into when your time and energy are limited? If anyone has any wisdom, routines, or even spiritual advice that has helped you through a season like this, I would love to hear it. I am really trying to figure out how to keep going without burning out.

@Laurel Sauls This really means a lot. I love what you said about romanticizing the everyday. It’s such a good reminder that joy doesn’t always have to come from doing more, but from slowing down and being present in what’s already there. The twinkle lights idea especially made me smile, those are my favorite too. I can relate so much to what you said about learning to slow the pace. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one figuring that out. Thank you for being so open and real, your words really encouraged me.

@Debbie Bailey I love this. You worded it so perfectly. We need to slow down and really notice the beauty around us. We definitely need to chat more in person soon. I always enjoy talking with you.
