hey homegirlssss. i have been AWOL but God is faithful.

in today’s episode, i wanted to talk about the chrsitians who are overwhelmed, tired, maybe sometimes inconsistent with the word and feeling guilty.

... basically, all of us at some point.

i’ve been in a season where everything has felt CRAZY (hence the absence): wedding planning, work, travelling… and somewhere in the middle of all of that, my time with God started to look different.

i used to feel like i needed to "get back" to how i used to be with God - hours in the Word, long study sessions, structured prayer. but lately, God’s just been whispering, “start somewhere.”

in this episode we talk about:
✨ the guilt we carry when our quiet time doesn’t look the same
✨ how God meets us in the busyness
✨ how starting small is still starting

scriptures mentioned:
psalm 51:17 — “my sacrifice, o God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.”
psalm 139:8 — “if i make my bed in sheol, you are there.”
matthew 11:28 — “come to me, all who are weary…”
psalm 1 — meditate on His Word day and night
1 thessalonians 5:17 — pray without ceasing

⏱ chapters:
00:00 – life update: london, wedding planning & being tired
01:50 – guilt from not “doing enough” for God
03:15 – remembering early days of faith
05:10 – God wants you, not performance
06:40 – reverence & friendship with Jesus
08:30 – psalm 51: a broken heart, not a perfect plan
10:00 – back to basics: verse of the day & devotionals
12:20 – spontaneous prayers & friendship with God
14:50 – why a 5-minute convo with God is still holy
16:10 – comparing God-time to fiancé-time
17:30 – faith in the small beginnings
18:40 – returning to the foundation: Jesus
19:30 – don't underestimate the "simple" truths

i just got engaged… so why am i talking about our breakup?

in this episode, i sit down with my fiancé to share the full story of how we went on a break for 9 months, why we chose to step away, and how God completely restored our relationship in a way only He could.

i have received COUNTLESS of messages and comments about this, with people going through similar and unsure of what the future holds. so we pray this helps anyone going through confusion, heartbreak, waiting, or wondering if restoration is even possible.

what we talk about:

✨ the reality of going on a break while still loving each other
✨ how spiritual immaturity
✨ why it was the best decision for both of us
✨ what it looked like to pray for each other even while apart
✨ awkwardness of reconnection
✨ how we knew it was time to get back together

and whilst i am so blessed for our love story, this isn't about us but about God’s grace, timing, and leadership over our lives.
