Every Season has a Reason

              Saying that life has transformed since my last update would be a major understatement. Nonetheless, catching up will be incredibly rewarding in the end... so here it is, and I hope you enjoy this journey of unveiled reality.

              If you followed my blog before I took a break, you know I don't sugarcoat things. Claiming I was thrilled with life and everything was perfect before my husband came into my life would be false. In fact, the day before meeting him, I was at my lowest point. I had never felt so defeated and disconnected from friends, work, and life. I vividly recall standing in the shower, pleading with God to take away the pain, sadness, worries, and uncertainties that weighed heavily on me. In the same breath, I completely surrendered to Him because I had no other choice; I lacked the energy to continue on my own without putting Him first. And in that moment, everything changed. Life transformed because all God wanted was for His daughter to fully trust Him and for me to finally surrender!

              I went to bed unaware that the next morning, I would receive a notification on Bumble from the person who is now my wonderful husband :)

Timeline:

              I first connected with my husband online on March 4, 2023, and we met in person on April 28, 2023. The following day, on April 29, 2023, we got married. On October 6, 2023, we discovered we were expecting. Our beautiful baby girl was born at home on June 19, 2024!

              Saying my prayers were answered doesn't fully capture it! For years, I doubted my worthiness to be someone's wife, thinking it might not be my destiny. However, I believed that God understood my heart's desires and knew how deeply I wished to become a wife and mother someday.

              Despite experiencing several years of ups and downs and significant changes, I wouldn't alter a thing. One thing I am certain of is that if we can praise him during the highs, we can undoubtedly praise him during the lows. What remains constant in both situations is his presence, grace, and mercy. Even when we can't see or feel it, he is always at work.

              Soon, I'll share my journey of becoming a doula while balancing life as a wife, mother, and business owner. I'll include all the tips, tricks, hacks, and resources I rely on to manage everything. It truly takes a village, and it definitely requires faith that the Lord is always working for our good, even when it's not immediately visible.

I hope you've enjoyed this first post back. I realize it was filled with some WOW factors, but wouldn't life be less fun and worthwhile without them? 😊

Until next time…
