Life has a way of stopping us in our tracks sometimes gently, sometimes with a jolt we didn’t see coming. When our plans don’t line up with God’s timing, it’s tempting to give in to frustration or feel like we’ve lost it all. But even in the pause, He is shaping us for a purpose only we can fulfill. This is my reminder to keep going, even when the world feels heavy, and to never stop using the gifts He’s placed inside you.

After battling kidney stones and burnout from years of advocacy work, I found myself being redirected by God in the most unexpected way. A pink sky, a sacred mission, and a new beginning... this is the story of how pain led me to peace.
