Today has been quite textured, to say the least. You ever have one of those days where there’s so much going on, yet something beautiful is being revealed underneath it all? That’s today.

I’ve been really zoning in on one particular scripture lately, and honestly, I just thank God for His patience and grace. I need it all. Every bit of it.

This all started back in 2018. I remember one of the things I was really focusing on was assembling myself with other believers. I thought, “I can at least do this one thing, right?” Even though I knew the church I was attending wasn’t really the right fit for me, I felt like I had to obey the Word. And you know what? Obeying that one scripture opened up doors I never imagined. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t obeyed that. It’s wild to think how one step in the right direction can change the entire course of your life.

Fast forward to now, and I’m zooming in on a different scripture—Philippians 4:6-7: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” That’s a mouthful, but it’s real. I’ve been living such an anxious life lately, and this scripture is speaking directly to that.

Yesterday, I sat down to plan for October, and it actually went really well. I’m starting to get better at using Notion, which is helping me stay organized. My schedule is packed, but it feels manageable. The more I plan, the more I realize how important it is to stay grounded, to stay in prayer, and to stay focused.

Oh, and on top of everything, my class starts today! Data Science, here we go! It’s a new season, and I’m excited to get my semester and month planned out. I’m also learning how to use Notion better, which is a win in itself. The more I plan, the more I realize how important it is to stay grounded, to stay in prayer, and to stay focused.

I’m actually in public as I write this, trying to finish up before my appointment and then hop onto my class Zoom meeting in a bit. But before I wrap this up, let me just say I’m feeling a shift. Even with all the demands on my time, I’m excited. I’m excited for the changes that are coming, excited to see the Word manifest in my life, and excited to walk in peace—peace in my mind, peace in my heart.

So, I’ll wrap this up here. It’s been a textured day, but a beautiful one. Stay tuned because I’ll be sharing more soon—especially about my first week in class. One of my learning styles is sharing what I learn, so get ready for some data science updates. I’m excited to take you along the journey.
