Tiredness Will Sometimes Be Your Companion

My sister asked me if I was OK. "Yes," I replied, and it was an honest response. I'm OK, but I'm also weary. I'm holding on to the fact that God isn't a man who can lie to me. My soul is exhausted, but I'm committed to getting my S.H.I.T.—Strength, Hope, Intentions, and Tenacity—together in this season.


This season has been arduous. I've wanted to quit multiple times, but the power of His Holy Spirit is making me resilient. I will not give up! I might cry, complain, write, pray, fast, cry some more, worship, talk, and vent, but giving up isn't an option. I'm committed to resilience.


Then I received a devotion that said, "Tiredness will sometimes be your companion." Those words comforted me. Instead of feeling ashamed of my humanness, I felt the arms of my Savior wrapped around me. It was a welcoming embrace—one I must remember is always waiting for me.
God said He has a plan and will guide me in the way I'm supposed to go and grow. So this weekend, I'm choosing to R.E.S.T.--Release Every Single Thing—so I can continue Putting my S.H.I.T. together. I trust in His plan and find hope in it.


I believe 2025 will be a year of manifestation—a year of the things God promised me and mine coming to pass. We've been patiently waiting for our turn, in Jesus' name.


If you're feeling weary, I hope this reminds you that tiredness doesn't mean defeat. It's a companion we can acknowledge without letting it define us. Rest, cry, write, pray—do what you need to renew your spirit. The journey may be long, but His embrace will always strengthen us.

We will not give up.
With love and faith,
