So I think it’s been over a week since I did an actual blog, but, yeah, we got to move fast. Moving, making progress, seeing results—I appreciate the progress I’ve made in the past couple of weeks. I’ve been a little more focused, a little more organized. But there’s still so much room to grow.

I used to feel overwhelmed by standing in a room full of growth. Like, the weight of how much needed to be done made me feel like I was never going to get out of that space. But, as they say on the internet, maturity is understanding that being in a room of growth is actually a good thing. It means I’m still learning, still open to learning, still flexible and adaptable, still moving forward, persevering, enduring—not giving up. All of that is necessary for success in life.

Because let’s be real—you’re never going to get anywhere if you quit. You’re never going to see change if you stop trying. So yeah, just keep trying.

There are always going to be challenges. There are things that could easily take my focus, make me feel overwhelmed, or pull me into frustration. But it’s a new day, baby. I’m grateful for the things I’ve experienced, even the hard things, because those things once made it hard for me to cope. But that’s not the same Charity today.

Unmoved & Unshaken

I’m not moved, and I like that. I like that I can tap into the joy of the Lord. I like that I can tap into the Word of God. I like that I can tap into the examples of faith that I’m surrounded by and just be steady. Like, bro—I said it a couple of weeks ago, and I meant it: I am not stressing in 2025.

Now, does that mean my faith won’t be tested? No.

Does that mean challenges disappear? No.

But here’s the thing: The challenges didn’t stop when I was struggling. The problems didn’t go away when I was stressed out. So why trip now? Why let it shake me? Being worried never changed anything for the better. So I refuse to be moved by it.

All is well.

No matter what it looks like. No matter what’s going on here, there, or anywhere. I’ve experienced enough to know that all things work together for my good because I love God and I am called according to His purpose. That’s what I’m standing on. And I’m standing on it with joy.

Faith in Motion

The Bible literally says, “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” It’s producing something. It’s working something in me—patience, endurance, completeness. The Word says, “So that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.” And that’s the goal. That’s where I want to be. Unmoved. Solid.

God is my rock. My refuge. My fortress. Jesus is seated in heavenly places, and so am I—so trip for what?

And that’s what I’m noticing. The shift. The difference. The change in dynamic. I know what doesn’t work. I’ve already experienced that. So there’s no point in wasting time on what doesn’t work when I could be moving in what does.

Moving With Purpose

Last night was a prime example. Tuesdays are those kinds of days. 6 AM prayer. Long day. But after work, I realized I hadn’t worked out all month. Now, don’t judge me—I have a modified workout schedule. The goal is once a month (yes, once). But February is almost over, and I still hadn’t hit the gym.

I knew if I sat down when I got home, it was a wrap. So as soon as I pulled up, I ran inside, changed, and ran back out before my body even had a chance to settle. And boom—I made it to the gym. Got my running in, did a little something-something. And I was proud of myself.

Because if I had stopped to entertain excuses, I wouldn’t have made it.

If I had listened to my tiredness, I wouldn’t have made it.

If I had slowed down, I wouldn’t have made it.

And that same energy carried over when I got home. I knew if I sat down, it was over. So I moved quickly—did what I needed to do, stayed productive. And by the time I was done? Out like a light.

I know how I operate. I know that when I move fast, when I keep pushing, I don’t even have time to be tired until it’s actually time to sleep. That’s the strategy.

Fast, But With Intent

But this isn’t just about moving fast for the sake of moving fast. It’s about moving with purpose. Moving with intention. Moving without being moved.

That’s the lesson. That’s the mindset.

So yeah, let’s keep it pushing.
