Free from Validation: Embracing the Process

All right, here we are, taking a quick moment in between locations. First off, let me just say—why do certain stores close so early on Saturdays? Like, bro. People are still out here moving, doing stuff, trying to live life. Anyway, I digress.

Today, I just want to pause and reflect on something that’s been a recurring theme for me: thankfulness and gratefulness for the process.

There was a time when I wanted everything overnight—quick fixes, instant change, the works. I was annoyed at the process. I wanted results without the waiting, growth without the effort. But now, standing on the other side of some things, I see the beauty in overcoming. I see how God uses time to reveal and refine, and let me tell you, I’m so grateful for it.

Breaking Free from Misunderstanding

Today was a good example. Normally, certain conversations or misunderstandings would have thrown me off, had me questioning myself. But not anymore. I’ve decided: I’m not letting being misunderstood—or the fear of it—put a cap on who I am in Christ.

God has placed so much inside of me—gifts, talents, purpose—and for so long, I undervalued it. I let the projections of others make me doubt myself. You know how people love to project their limitations onto you? Yeah, I let that stop me at times. But not today, not anymore.

I don’t need to explain myself. I don’t need to fit in anyone’s box. And that’s freeing.

God is in the Details

Here’s the thing: God is a God of details. The very hairs on our heads are numbered. I mean, who’s doing that? Who’s counting hair particles? God is. He’s that detailed. He’s not just about the big picture; He’s in the fine print.

And that gives me so much peace. I don’t have to over-explain or justify the details of my life to anyone. God already knows, and every once in a while, He lets me share those details with someone willing to listen. But I don’t need the approval or validation of others to know that I’m walking in His will.

Free from Validation

Oh, let’s talk about validation for a second. That was a biggie for me. I used to need it—crave it, even. I wouldn’t release anything unless it was validated by someone else. And let me tell you, that is so limiting. Living life seeking constant validation is like putting yourself in a box with no way out.

But now? I’m free. God’s Word is my validation. That’s all I need.

Living Fully in 2025

We’re not playing games with 2025. We’re leaving behind everything that isn’t of God—old mindsets, falsehoods, anything that doesn’t align with His purpose for my life. We’re stepping into authenticity, boldness, and the perfect will of God.

2025? It’s going to be the greatest year of my life. Period. We’re living fully. We’re living wholeheartedly. We’re walking in the blessedness that makes rich and adds no sorrow.

Nothing less. Nothing less.

Let’s go.
