Hello September 🍂
Hello September!!!!!
August set us up for new beginnings. Now it’s time to push forth because it’s birthing season. 🙌🏽
While you’re doing all of the things this month let’s practice selfcare daily. You can’t be a blessing to others if you’re burnt out.
Take care of you. 🥰
Make it a September to remember. 🎊
.
Thank You August
As August comes to a close, my heart is filled with gratitude for a month of rest, renewal, and quiet reminders that growth often begins in stillness. Thank you, August, for the peace that settled my spirit, the creativity that sparked new ideas, and the inspiration to continue writing, creating, and dreaming. You made room for reflection, for gratitude, and for trusting God’s timing in every season. Some blessings arrived in unexpected ways, while others came as gentle confirmations that every step of this journey has purpose. August was a beautiful reminder that God continues to perfect those things that concern me, and for that, I am deeply thankful.
Now, I welcome September with open hands and an open heart. There is something special about September—it has always felt like a season of new beginnings, fresh starts, and renewed focus. As the leaves begin to change, I want this month to be one of intentional self-care, choosing rest without guilt, protecting my peace, and continuing to become the woman God is calling me to be. My hope is that September will truly be a September to Remember—a month filled with wellness, gratitude, creativity, and the courage to embrace each new beginning with faith, joy, and expectation.
Today, It’s Working Together for Good - 8/28
It is August 28th, and I find myself thinking about the scripture that has anchored me through so many seasons: Romans 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. At the end of 2020, I did two things that felt significant to me: I loc’d my hair and I got a tattoo. On my arm are the words “Y sabemos — R8v28.” Y sabemos comes from the Spanish translation of Romans 8:28 and means “and we know.”
At the time, I couldn’t have known everything that would come after that tattoo. I couldn’t have known all the things I would experience, the things I would lose, the things that would change me, or the things I would have to learn to release. But every day, when I lay down and see those words on my arm, I am reminded: and we know.
What I know now is that “working together for good” doesn’t always mean that everything works out the way I wanted it to. Sometimes it didn’t work. Sometimes the answer was no. Sometimes the plan changed. Sometimes life changed. And sometimes I had to become someone new in the process. But I still believe that even if it don’t work, it’s still working for your good.
Romans 8:28 doesn’t require me to understand how every piece fits together; it reminds me to trust the One who does. So today, on 8/28, I can look at the words I placed on my arm almost six years ago and say them with a different kind of knowing. Not because everything has been easy. Not because everything worked the way I thought it would. But because through it all, God has continued to work. Today, it’s working together for good.
Finishing Fervent
As I read the last 4 chapters today, I understood why I had to read this book. I think to some degree fear had paralyzed me and I could identify easily what I’ve made as idols in my life.
Using the app, I made a study guide for future reference.
Since, my illness reading has been challenging. Using the Kindle and Audible apps really helped me with finishing this book. 🙏🏾
