One thing nobody tells you about adulthood is how fun it is to become your own person. One day you randomly start liking jazz, olive green, expensive dark chocolate, documentaries about volcanoes, weird lamps, sparkling water, books about loneliness in Tokyo, silver jewelry and quiet cafés. Your personality keeps unfolding forever if you let it.
Nobody talks about how God’s love is not transactional. It doesn’t increase when you’re faithful and decrease when you’re not. It doesn’t reward your good seasons and withhold in your bad ones. It’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.
GET UP! I know you’re hurting, BUT GET UP. Start moving. Put on some music. Start cleaning. Wash your dishes. Start a load of laundry. Sweep and mop your floors. Take a shower. Put on lotion. Get dressed. Organize your closet. That depression thrives on chaos and disorganization. IT WILL NOT WIN THIS YEAR! GET UP! God needs you to GET UP. Your kids need you to GET UP. Your spouse needs you to GET UP! I know you’re tired, but the energy in your house needs to go. GET UP BABY!
YOU GOT THIS‼️
My professor used to say, ‘Everything is hard until it’s not.’ I didn’t understand it back then, but I understand it now. The beginning is always the hardest part, but with consistency, the difficulty gradually loses its grip.
