Part 59:

For weeks now, I’ve been rereading my older stories.

Especially the ones where I promised I would continue telling the story that began when I was fourteen years old.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped telling the story.

Not because I ran out of stories.

And not because I stopped caring.

Life became a long season of survival.

For years I lived in an environment that slowly chipped away at my voice. Not all at once. Just little by little, year after year.

I still wrote occasionally. I still shared pieces of my heart.

But the girl who once told her story so freely grew quieter and quieter.

Looking back now, I realize the stories never left me.

The voice never truly left me either.

It was simply waiting for me to find my way back to it.

But reading these older posts, I found myself missing the voice that shared those stories.

Not because she had life figured out.

But because she was honest.
Hopeful.
Broken.
Healing.
And deeply aware of God’s grace.

As I reread these stories, I realized something else too.

All along, through every fire, every heartbreak, every failure, every prayer… a little bit of beauty for ashes became.

So I think it’s time.

Time to return to the stories I left unfinished.
Time to continue where I said I would.
Time to run back to that fourteen-year-old girl and pick the story back up from there.

Not because the fire is over.

But because God has been in every part of it.

And maybe someone else walking through fire needs to know that too.

After all these years, I think my voice is finally coming home to itself.

​I pray you find yourself in a healing path.

Part 58
​One Brave Step

Sometimes it only takes one brave step.

One quiet decision.

One moment where you stop listening to fear, pressure, expectations,
or the voices that tried to convince you to become someone smaller than who you really are.

Many of us spend years thinking about everyone else first. Trying to please people.
Trying not to disappoint anyone. Trying to fit inside boxes we were never meant to live in.

And little by little, we lose pieces of ourselves.

Sometimes we even forget who we are.

Some people don’t just misunderstand your spirit - they try to silence it.
They make you question yourself so deeply
that eventually you stop listening to your own heart altogether.

But somewhere inside you, the real you is still there.

Still breathing.
Still dreaming.
Still hoping.

Still waiting to walk again.

I want to encourage you today:
Take one brave step.

Let her dream again.
Let her breathe again.
Let her be brave again.

You do not have to stay trapped inside a prison built by fear, expectations,
or someone else’s opinion of who you should be.

You do not need to become somebody else to be valuable.

You do not need to be loud if you are gentle.
You do not need to be fearless to be strong.
You do not need to live somebody else’s life to have a meaningful one.

You only need to become who God created you to be.

That is enough.

Maybe your brave step is small.
Maybe nobody else even notices it.

But Heaven notices.

God sees every quiet step toward healing.
Every step toward truth.
Every step toward life.
And He walks with you.

And if parts of you were lost along the way, God knows how to restore them.

He knows how to gently call your spirit forward again.

He will lead you.
He will comfort you.
He will hold your hand while you learn to walk forward again.

You are not alone.
You are held.
You matter.

Take one brave step.

And don’t look back.

That does not mean you hate anyone.
It does not mean you are trying to hurt people.
It simply means you finally noticed yourself again.

And that matters more than you know. 🌿

This Shorts video is a beautiful story of our spirit in our youth
and the beauty of hope looking forward.

The Lion of Judah is not standing far away from you.

He is beside you.
Protecting you.
Covering you.
Fighting battles that have become too heavy to carry alone.

Sometimes life leaves us exhausted.
We keep trying to stay strong
while quietly carrying fear, disappointment, waiting, and uncertainty.

But you were never meant to carry it all by yourself.

This artwork was created as a reminder that you belong to the King.

You are not forgotten.
You are not abandoned.
You are deeply loved.

The Lion of Judah walks beside you with strength, peace, comfort, and protection.

When the battle feels too heavy, you can lean on Him and rest.

He is your helper.
Your shelter.
Your peace in the middle of uncertainty.

God still has a plan for your life.
Even in the waiting.
Even when you do not understand the season you are in.
Even when your heart feels tired.

There is still hope ahead.

Sometimes faith is not striving harder.
Sometimes faith is simply resting beside Him
and trusting that He is still holding your future.

You are a daughter of the King.
And you do not walk alone.

Sometimes we carry disappointment like proof that we failed.

A prayer that was not answered the way we hoped.
A door that stayed closed.
A season that felt longer than expected.

But not every delay means rejection.

Sometimes life slows us down because something deeper is being formed
inside us - strength, wisdom, compassion, or even a new direction we could not yet see.

This Lion of Judah artwork was created as a reminder that your worth is not measured
by what did or did not happen yet.

There is still purpose ahead.
There is still beauty unfolding.
And there is still hope.

“You Were Meant For More” is a Spirit Flow Prophetic Art piece by Pam Herrick,

​There are moments when the soul longs for quiet.

Not escape.  
Not giving up.  
Just peace.

I feel His peace in this painting.  
The kind of peace that settles gently over the heart and reminds you that you are not alone.

“He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”  
- Psalm 23:2-3

The Lion of Judah is strong, yet His presence also brings rest.  
There is comfort in knowing the One who holds all power also leads us gently.

Sometimes the most healing moments are the quiet ones - when fear settles, the noise fades, and His presence feels near.

If this piece brought you a moment of peace tonight, may that peace stay with you a little longer.

There are seasons that change you.
Not in small ways…
in ways that press in and stay longer than you expected.
You keep going, but something feels different.
Quieter. Heavier.


Sometimes we go through seasons that are hard.
And maybe we lose ourselves a little.
Not all at once…
but slowly, over time.
Your peace.
Your joy.
Your strength.


It can feel like those things are gone.
Like you’ve been left somewhere you didn’t mean to stay.


But those seasons don’t get the final word.
The real you is still there.
You are not forgotten.


There is still something in you that responds to the light.
Even if it’s been quiet…
even if it’s been buried under everything you’ve had to carry…
it’s still there.


You are safe.
You are seen.
You are held.


And this isn’t where your story ends.
You will rise again.

Sometimes people live so long under pressure, fear, disappointment,
or other people’s expectations that

they forget themselves.

But the real you is still there.

Under the years.

Under the noise.

Under what life has done.

Part 57 of The Girl Who Chased Horses is a gentle reminder

​that God has not forgotten who He created you to be.

You may have bent.

You may have gone quiet.

You may have lived small for too long.

But buried is not gone.

The spark can still breathe again.

The dream can still wake again.

The you He created is still there.
