As I look back on 2023, it was a year of breaking, molding, vulnerability & healing. God broke me all the way down this year to reposition me for my purpose. I met the most broken version of myself this year. I was walking in disobedience to the Lord. I was lukewarm. I wasn’t listening to God. I as deceiving myself and self-sabotaging. God showed me so much grace.
August 2023 is where my life changed, for the better – even though it was painful. Heartbreak is the most painful thing I have experienced in my life so far. The grieving, the accepting of what was happening, the rollercoaster of emotions – anger, sadness, resentment, bitterness, rejection, depression, embarrassment, but God. He had to break my heart to save me.
I finally get to experience the true agapé love of Jesus. I have a joy that I cannot explain. I do have my days where I struggle, but that is part of the process. My heart posture towards Jesus has changed. I’m souled out for Him. I’m praying more, in my word, listening to sermons, ministering to women who are dealing with the exact same thing I am IN THE MIDST of my pain. God is showing me the reason for my pain. How can I minister to those in the valley when I have not been there myself?
God also gave me a Godly community that I can rely on, and I am so blessed!
Going into 2024, I am leaving behind this old, broken version of me. The lukewarm, people-pleasing, seeking love in the wrong places, angry type girl. Instead, I am going into 2024 healed and still healing while walking in my calling.
Jesus, I pray that you continue to soften my heart, continue to mold me into the Proverbs 31 woman who recognizes the authority she has in your Kingdom. I will no longer succumb to the tactics of the enemy.
2024, I’m ready!
