Positive update. God helped me take my first small series of contiguous steps walking last night.

They were still with my “Star Wars AT-AT Imperial walker”, but nonetheless - I still took a small series of steps in nearly two weeks from my surgery.

Please keep the prayers coming!!

God is GREAT!

Monday Prayer 🙏

Lord, this week may bring challenges I can’t predict — but You are already in the middle of every mountain I face.

When this road feels impossible, remind me that nothing is too hard for You.

Help me walk in faith, not fear… and trust Your strength when mine runs out. Amen. ✝️💪

Saturday Prayer 🙏

Lord, thank You for the gift of rest and reflection.

Quiet my heart, renew my spirit, and remind me that Your plans are greater than my worries.

Help me trust You fully today — with joy, peace, and unshakable faith. ✝️☀️

I see your hard work — even on the days you don’t want to do it.

And I believe in you.

Your dreams are still worth the effort.
So show up, even when it’s hard. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.

Be R-A-W — Real. Authentic. Worthy. 💪🔥

6 Things God Will Never Do:

❌ Leave you
❌ Stop loving you
❌ Break a promise
❌ Ignore your prayers
❌ Fail you
❌ Give up on you

Even in silence, God is working. Trust His heart, even when you can’t see His hand. 🙏✝️💛

C.O.F.F.E.E. ☕

Courage. Optimism. Focus. Faith. Energy. Empowerment.

It’s more than what’s in your cup — it’s how you show up.

Because blending in never sparked a movement. Just like Anything Box said in Jubilation — “Don't take for granted. This thing called life.”

That search, that sound, that feeling — it’s proof that standing out is art.

Keep being Real. Authentic. Worthy. The world needs your voice, not your silence.

Today, I pray for your happiness — and that you know you are deeply loved. 💛

Don’t be afraid of risk.

Comfort zones never create legends. Lean into the unknown, trust your grit, and remember: playing it safe never built anything extraordinary.

Be R-A-W — Real. Authentic. Worthy. 🔥💯

Today is Monday, Lord.

Walk with me through the noise, the rush, and the unknowns.

If you’ve gotten out of bed when it felt like the world was on your shoulders.

Sometimes the reason good things aren’t happening to you… is because you are the good thing happening to someone else. 💛

Never underestimate the light you carry. A kind word, a quiet presence, or a simple act of love might be someone’s turning point today. Keep shining—the world needs your spark.
