A letter to Goliath.
Spiritual Sacrifice Rebounding.
What if we stopped living inside the fear we were programmed to carry?
For years, shame lived in me. I floated in whatever version of myself my ego wanted to validate that dayâwhatever distraction or sin soothed the insecurity of the moment. I didnât realize how deeply asleep I was.
Then I woke up. Thank God.
My Turning Point With God
In small towns, gossip is currency. And as a business owner, especially in real estate, misperception comes with the territory.
At first, the whispers were small, quiet, relentless. False assumptions, narratives that didnât match my reality. I thought they would fade because they simply werenât true. I grew up in this community. I poured my time, money, heart, and good intentions into it. I never bore false witness and kept the path of the "high road" it was a personal conviction long before my spiritual awakening.
So I adapted. I extracted wisdom from misperceptions, tried to communicate better, meet people where they were, alchemize what I could, and survive the rest.
The Sigma Woman Witch Hunt
In an ego-driven world, especially as a woman, I learned to dim myself behind the energies that needed control that surrounded meâto make my strengths smaller, disguise my gifts, and let people believe my ideas were theirs if it got the job done. Credit never mattered. Preservation did.
But survival is not the same as purpose.
And the truth is: I didnât know God.
Not really.
I fought Him every step. I questioned everything. I refused to âpew-sitâ just to check a box or maintain a social image. I was raised analytical, skeptical, trained to distrust anything I couldnât physically see. Church often felt performative, like a business rather than a sanctuary. I sensed the lack of authenticity.
Yet God stayed. He waited.
And in one of the hardest seasons of my lifeâmonths of isolation, silence, betrayals and pulling myself out of bed with nothing but a sliver of hopeâHe tapped me on the shoulder. When the faces I had supported were nowhere to be found, when I had survived so much alone without choosing bitterness, He saw my perseverance. Not my perfectionâmy heart.
And He called me home.
What Weâve Forgotten,
Weâve forgotten God.
We quote scripture when it serves our ego but ignore it when He corrects us. We mock those who find Him. We label spiritual awakenings as mental illness. We attack people who carry light because it exposes our darkness. We lead with envy, judgment, and projection instead of love.
We were not created for this.
The System We Live In
Weâre not meant to work just to die.
Yet here we areâstructuring our days around screen time so our children wonât âbotherâ us while we hustle to pay the bills. Chasing the Joneses. Buying distractions to soothe the guilt of never being present. Indoctrinated from childhood into the rat race before we even know ourselves.
Weâre being fooled.
Our energy is harvested daily by systems built by the elite (Goliath). Systems designed to keep us busy, exhausted, and blind. We push buttons at work, push buttons at home, and become buttons ourselvesâreactive, worn down, disconnected.
The husband comes home pushing his own buttons from his workplace. Youâre burning dinner while on the phone with a client whose âbutton is stuck.â The kids numb themselves on iPads and come up to complain they are hungry, tired or bored. Chaos ensues your soul and your last button of the day has been pushed.
And instead of reaching for compassion, we judge others to feel superior for a fleeting moment. We tear people down to escape our own emptiness.
This is not who God created us to be.
What Our Souls Still Know
Deep down, we remember: Our souls were created for freedom.
âAll men were created equalâânot to become fuel for the wealthy.
The Awakening
We are not here to be harvested. We are not here to be programmed. We are not here to press buttons until our spirits collapse.
We are here to be whole. We are here to be awake. We are here to walk with God and truly know what that means.
Step out of fear-mongering. Turn off the noise. Care for the earth. Tell the truth. Choose God (awakening) or Money (Goliath). You can't choose both.
It is time to live in truth. Goliath, when did you take our power? We the people are the power.
The world is waking up. God is calling His people back to Him.
And this timeâweâre listening.
It's time to choose your side.
