I woke up this morning 31.
If you’ve been following me, you know this past year began my #30Journey. What I envisioned and what it revealed itself to be were completely different. I prayed for spiritual growth and fresh perspective, but I didn’t expect unforeseen attacks to be a part of the process. My mind, health, career, creativity, and relationships were in a chokehold; and I just wanted to breathe again!
=JOURNEY =
the passage or progress from one phase to another.
I UNDERESTIMATED THE JOURNEY, AND WHAT IT REPRESENTED…
Going on a journey isn’t necessarily about the plans you make, but about how you handle the unexpected. What will you do when things don’t go the way you hoped they would? How will you respond when you feel left out or misunderstood? These are just a couple of questions to consider. Nevertheless, along the way you’re guaranteed to learn patience, trust in self, and how much you really need genuine people.
This is where true transformation began for me.
God was transforming my thinking and way of being in a very uncomfortable way. I don’t really think I knew what I was asking for, but He definitely pressed GO! I was forced to shed old layers, SLOW DOWN, and let people in. Whew, the VULNERABILITY! Those of you reading who know me personally, understand why that one was such a struggle; I’m still trying to remove the cactus knob, lol!
Instead of allowing the circumstances to break me, I had to trust the Holy Spirit to guide me. As much as I wanted to figure things out on my own, revise the plan, and ultimately give up… God’s was like, “Nah, daughter… WE got things to do! You tried it your way… it’s My turn!”
So, I’ll be following His vision this time, remembering these truths along the way:

So, yeah… I woke up 31 today… staring purpose in the face! Saying to myself, “Kendra, you have to get on with pursuing your passions and purpose without fear or apprehension. You’re headed in a new direction, and God is ALWAYS working behind the scenes for YOU! Follow Him!”
Friend, let us travel lighter together by breaking free from the things that keep us from living fully!
Keep Going Until It Makes Sense,
