I started this year with a hard no. I had just buried my brother at the end of last year, and honestly, I was angry at God. I didn’t want to minister, teach, preach, testify—nothing. I felt like God had pushed me past my limit, and I was done. I made up in my mind that I’d rather be numb that suffering and living in agony, I didn’t want to feel or face anything. But this year, God showed up as Emmanuel—God with us. He didn’t punish me. He didn’t shame me. He didn’t leave me. He, yet again, found me where I was, and He sat with me in the anger, silence, and numbness. He kept reminding me of who I was and my purpose, my position, and my authority when I had stepped away from all of it. He told me, “If you can’t give Me anything else, just give Me your yes. I’ll do the rest.” So I gave Him my yes. Yes to walking through the valleys instead of avoiding them….and without rushing me, He turned every valley into a place I survived… and proof that I was never alone. Grief has been hard, but my yes to God’s help, has made it manageable. Parenting has been exhausting, but my yes to God’s help, has kept me going. Business has been TERRIFYING, but my yes to God’s instruction, has sustained me. I leave this year, more tired than I’ve ever been honestly, but with a yes that I know is working for me in ways I can’t even imagine.
