Today is my day, 28 trips around the sun. I am grateful. I feel loved. I believe this will be the year everything shifts for me. My life is full, and I hold it with joy. I don’t have birthday wishes, only a prayer to continue walking in all that God has called me to be, with a heart that remains pure and a spirit that reflects my Father.

It took 28 years to finally love the person I see in the mirror. No longer sifting through the rubble of my past or sitting in the weight of “what ifs.” Instead, I embrace every loss with gratitude, knowing it shaped me. The joy of the Lord is mine, and with that joy, I step into this new year with expectation. I don’t want to make this season about receiving but about giving. Giving light to those who feel surrounded by darkness. Advocating. Interceeding. Being a safe haven for the people I love.

Today is my day. Here’s to 28, a year of love, purpose, and divine unfolding. Receiving all that God has promised me.

“May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.”

Psalms 20:4 NLT
