It's strange but when I look back at this year, one phrase keeps ringing in my spirit: God, You really did that.
This has been an incredibly amazing year—not because everything went perfect or the way I imagined, not because every prayer was answered exactly how I scripted it, and definitely not because the journey was smooth.
But because God proved, over and over again, that He hears, He moves, and He knows better than I do.
Some prayers He answered quietly. Some He answered loudly. Some He answered in ways that made me laugh because they were so far from what I expected. And others? He answered by closing doors I thought I needed…but now I see He was protecting me. Awesome Year!
I’ve worked hard my entire life. I grew up without a father, and my teenage years, I was the only one in my household bringing in income, carrying responsibilities that most kids my age never had to face. But this year… God gave me something I didn’t even realize my soul had been starving for: days where I wasn’t working. I didn't have to be responsible.
Days where I could breathe. Buy things and just think about myself. Days where I wasn’t running on survival mode, but actually living. I've never had that even as a child.
And the best part?
I got to sit, pray, and talk to God for hours.
There were moments this year where my relationship with God got so deep, that even the spiritual realm took notice—literally.
One of the funniest moments was when a witch walked up to me and told me she was going to be water fasting for me to go into full-time ministry and relocate out of the city. She said, “You are moving. I’ve never met someone who talks to the Lord 24/7.
I was a little taken back and didn't know how to respond. The woman was very serious.
She told me to fast—like she was giving me divine instructions. And when she saw me eating the next day, she was so annoyed with me, like I messed up her plans. I had to laugh. Because who gets rebuked by a witch? But baby, I only take instructions from God.
It was hilarious, but it also reminded me of something powerful:
When your light is real, everybody sees it.
When your walk is authentically in your anointing, everybody feels it.
And when God is with you, even people who don’t follow Him recognize it.
This year taught me that I can be a witness anywhere—to anyone. Even in moments that make no sense, God will use your life, your presence, and your relationship with Him as ministry without you even trying.
And for that, I’m grateful.
Looking back, I’m thankful for every moment:
The blessings that surprised me.
The lessons that stretched me.
The people who came.
The people who left.
The opportunities I didn’t even pray for.
And the ones I prayed for that showed up differently—but better.
This year taught me that God is not a genie; He’s a Father. He doesn’t always give me what I want, but He always gives me what I need. He doesn’t always follow my plan, but He never fails to fulfill His purpose.
And now, standing at the end of this year, all I can say is:
Thank You, God—for every experience, every shift, every redirection, every miracle in disguise.
I’m leaving this year wiser, softer, stronger, and more surrendered.
And I’m stepping into the next with expectation—because if this is what God can do with a year I didn’t fully understand, I can only imagine what He’ll do with a year I’m fully aligned for.

Not a wanna be.
Not a gonna be.
I am a winner.
I always win!
Here’s to gratitude.
Here’s to growth.
Here’s to God’s faithfulness—again and again.
Amen.
