🌿✨ From the Odd Little Girl to the Daughter of a King… My Walk With God. ✨🌿
I’ve had faith for as long as I can remember. Even as a little girl, I knew there was something extraordinary behind this beautiful, mysterious thing we call life. I knew there was something bigger than us, something divine working behind the scenes. And I always, ALWAYS believed in guardian angels. 🤍
You see, I was always the “odd” child. 😂 The overly sensitive one. The little girl who felt EVERYTHING so deeply. The one who connected with animals more easily than people, who could feel nature’s heartbeat in her bones, who found peace beneath the trees and comfort in the wind. The one who would talk to loving presences that nobody else seemed to see or understand.
I didn’t have a name for it all back then. I just knew what I felt.
And although I believed in God, I never quite understood how to fit that relationship into the box of religion.
Growing up, there were things in the Bible I couldn’t wrap my little mind around. Questions I asked that nobody seemed able to answer. Things that didn’t make sense to me yet.
But here’s the beautiful part…
I NEVER stopped seeking Him. 🌻
Because somewhere deep in my soul, I knew that if angels existed, if I could feel that kind of love and protection around me, then surely God couldn’t be very far away.
And then one day, something clicked.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit… three in one.
And suddenly my mind made a connection to something I could understand.
Mind. Body. Spirit.
Three parts of one whole.
💡 DING! There went that little lightbulb!
Now, I’m not saying that was some grand theological explanation. It was simply the moment my heart began to understand something my mind had wrestled with for years.
And that little moment opened a door that changed my entire life.
I stopped seeing God as some distant presence in the sky and began knowing Him as my Father.
Not just a name in a book. Not just someone I prayed to when life got hard.
My Father. My protector. My comfort. My greatest teacher. My safest place.
And me? His daughter. 🥹🤍
As I began praying more, reading my Bible, asking questions, and truly seeking His presence, that relationship grew.
Like roots spreading beneath a forest floor, it grew deeper and stronger, reaching places inside me I didn’t even know needed healing.
What started as a tiny seed of faith became the strongest, most beautiful relationship of my entire life.
And OH, the work He has done in me over the years. 🙌
I’ve experienced loss. I’ve watched doors close that I begged Him to keep open. I’ve cried over people, places, dreams, and versions of my life I thought I couldn’t live without.
I’ve had seasons where I couldn’t understand why things were happening the way they were.
But somewhere along this journey, my prayers began changing.
Instead of always asking, “God, WHY is this happening to me?”
I started asking, “Father, what are You trying to teach me through this?”
And that changed EVERYTHING.
I don’t sit in puddles of tears wondering why something was taken from me anymore. That doesn’t mean I never hurt, never grieve, or never have difficult days. It means I’ve learned to trust Him even when my heart doesn’t understand.
Because looking back over my life, I can see how many of the things I once called losses were actually lessons, redirections, and sometimes even protection.
And so often, what came AFTER the heartbreak was more beautiful than anything I had been desperately trying to hold on to.
What I thought was rejection was sometimes redirection. What I thought was the end was often God preparing a new beginning. 🌿
I’ve learned that God’s timing isn’t always comfortable, but His love is always faithful.
And here’s something I want you to remember…
God can see the table you’re walking toward, even when you can’t see beyond the next step.
He knows what’s waiting around the corner. He knows which doors need to close, which paths need to change, and which blessings you’re not quite ready to receive.
Sometimes He’s preparing the table.
Sometimes He’s preparing YOU.
And sometimes the waiting season is where the most beautiful growth takes place.
That’s why I no longer need to understand every little detail of His plan to trust the One who created me.
I just need to keep walking with Him.
Because the love I’ve found in my relationship with God is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. A love that doesn’t demand perfection. A love that meets me in my mess, teaches me through my mistakes, and welcomes me back every single time I stumble.
The ultimate unconditional love. 🤍
So today, I’m sharing this for someone who might be sitting in a dark season.
Someone questioning their faith.
Someone who feels different, misunderstood, overly emotional, or like they’ve never quite fit into the world around them.
Someone who has lost so much that they’re beginning to wonder if God has forgotten them.
Sweet soul, please hear me…
HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU. 🕊️
You are not too far gone. Your questions don’t make you unworthy of His love. Your tears don’t mean your faith is weak. And your current circumstances are not the final chapter of your story.
Keep seeking Him.
Talk to Him like a Father who loves you, because He does.
Take your questions to Him. Open your Bible. Sit quietly in His creation. Let your heart be still enough to recognize the peace that comes from His presence.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin a relationship with God.
I certainly didn’t.
I’m still learning, still growing, still being molded every single day.
But I can tell you this…
The little girl who once searched for God in the whispers of the wind grew into a woman who now recognizes His love in every season of her life. 🌻
And if there’s one thing I hope my journey teaches somebody, it’s that you should NEVER stop reaching for His light.
Because even after the darkest night, the sun still rises.
And sometimes the most beautiful thing God grows from the ashes of your old life…
Is YOU. 🤍
