“𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭…”⁣
⁣
Yes — it’s possible to have a 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹 even in the midst of 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀.⁣
⁣
You can move through 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 and 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and still 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 within you.⁣
⁣
But that kind of quiet doesn’t happen by accident.⁣
⁣
It comes through 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.⁣
Through 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.⁣
Through 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 what truly 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗿𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 and what merely 𝗮𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.⁣
⁣
“𝘉𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘸𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘴...”⁣
⁣
And when those senses are trained, it looks like:⁣
⁣
🌪️Being able to encounter someone who is 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱 without 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 their 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲.⁣
⁣
🛒 It looks like walking through a 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 without being 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 by every 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 or 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 by every 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.⁣
⁣
💪🏼 It’s recognizing 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 without being moved by it or swept up in it.⁣
⁣
🤳 It’s scrolling through 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 without slipping into a 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹—able to 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻 and 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 what holds substance and what is simply 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 dressed up as 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.⁣
⁣
🚨 It’s the ability to 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵 between what feels 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 and what is actually rooted in a 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿.⁣
⁣
🕊️ A quiet soul isn’t 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲.⁣
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱.⁣
⁣
This is what I’ve been giving my attention to lately.⁣
⁣
🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️It’s one thing to experience peace in 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲—in prayer, in stillness, in the quiet of your prayer closet. ⁣
⁣
💦 It’s another thing entirely to carry that peace into noisy spaces and to 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 it rather than 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯 what doesn’t belong to you. ⁣
⁣
That kind of peace requires intention.⁣
⁣
It requires 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 how to hold internal 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.⁣
⁣
And it often requires starting again…and again….and again. ⁣
⁣
𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦, 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴. ⁣
When I 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 within myself—⁣
when I 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯 what isn’t mine to carry,⁣
when I 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 to interrupt the work You’re doing in me.⁣
⁣
Teach me to hold the line.⁣
⁣
Because peace is not just a feeling to experience—⁣
it’s an authority we are meant to walk in.

Hey friends 👋⁣
⁣
Here’s an excerpt from a project I’m working on. Many of you know parts of my story, and some of you may not. I’m taking a little bit of a different approach with it for this project. This is the start. ⁣
⁣
In these pages, you’ll find themes of 𝗮𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀—of 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲, only to have it 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 again.⁣
⁣
If you can spare a few moments to read, I’d genuinely appreciate your thoughts and feedback. I know who I’ve written this for, but I’d also love to see how it lands with a broader audience.⁣
⁣

We rarely get to choose our defining moments. More often, we stumble into them—messy, unprepared, and only later realize we’ve been marked forever. That was certainly the case for me on a cold day …

Jesus said 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 begins in the heart. ⁣
⁣
But what we often don’t realize is that the 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 of the 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 doesn’t start out wanting to take someone’s 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚. It doesn’t start with the 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 desire to 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 or 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿. ⁣
⁣
You know how it starts? With 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗧. ⁣
⁣
That state of 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 someone. That sense of 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻, intense 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿. And if we don’t expose it for what it is, that seed gets 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 and 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱. Soon enough it 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 and 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀, eventually producing a harvest of 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥. ⁣
⁣
Jesus 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘋𝘰 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳… 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘺 “𝘙𝘢𝘤𝘢!” (a colloquialism that conveyed 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 / 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴) Or if you can say, 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘍𝘰𝘰𝘭! (which expressed 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿) If we get to the point where we feel that level of 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁 in our hearts - guess what? 𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. ⁣
⁣
We’ve already ingested the 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 that carries the same 𝗗𝗡𝗔 as the 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁. We’ve already switched lanes and are traveling down the road on which the murderous spirit is 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱, and 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱. ⁣
⁣
And as awful as the 𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 have been that have swept our nation, our world, my home state in the last few weeks - I have to be honest. I’m seeing and hearing a 𝗹𝗼𝘁 of 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 of that same seed 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 and 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 in people’s 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 and 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀. ⁣
⁣
If we are to effect change - and I do believe we have an incredible opportunity to be 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁 and 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 - we have to get the 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁 out of our midst. ⁣

⁣
🍽️ We are what we eat, right? The same applies to our 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 and development.⁣
⁣
5️⃣ Over the years, l've learned that managing my spiritual growth means paying attention to the 𝟱 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 that Jesus already put in place to lead and guide us.⁣
⁣
📖 Ephesians 4 tells us that He gave the fivefold ministry - 𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘀, 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 - to equip the saints and build up the body of Christ.⁣
⁣
⚖️ I learned that If I only receive from one or two of these graces, I can end up imbalanced.⁣
⁣
💪🏼 Just like our physical bodies need a 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, our spirits need the full counsel of God and the unique graces He placed in His body.⁣
⁣
🍃 This is one of the ways I stay 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 and keep growing in Him — by making sure I'm gleaning from the whole table the Lord has prepared. ⁣

“Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].
Psalm 27:10 AMPC

I can’t tell you what day it was. It was before iPhones and screen shots and on-the-go-photos that timestamp life’s memorable moments. But I will never forget what God did that day. It was one of the most healing days I have ever experienced.

I was sitting in Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. It was during a season when I was cautiously giving church—and God—another chance.

Surprisingly, a guest speaker and his translator approached the podium. It was Pastor César Castellanos of Colombia, and this simple verse in Psalms was his opening text.

Spanish being my first language, I bypassed the translator and instead tuned in intently to Pastor Castellanos, hanging on every word he said.

When my mother and father forsake me…then the Lord Himself will take me in as His own.

What? Really?

The Lord knew exactly what He was doing in my heart that day. He sent forth His word into the deep places of my heart, and healed me with it (Psalm 107:20)

Growing up in church environments and in Christian schools, I’d only ever heard about honoring and obeying my parents. I’d only heard about how the reward for honoring and obeying was long life and length of days being added to me (Exodus 20:12). And trust me, I was very clear on the consequences for disobedience.

I had never, ever heard how God views things when family doesn't work out as He had originally intended it to. Those were deep waters—territory that had always felt dangerous to explore. I'd never felt as though I had permission to even consider these thoughts. But admittedly, the questions were real, hidden in the most wounded places of my soul.

God is a God of justice, right? So what if....?

What if….at the hands of those who are to protect and care for us….we instead experience deep pain?

What then?

What if the father entrusted with caring, protecting, shielding, and speaking identity over me… had instead abandoned me?

What if the mother who was to nurture, protect, call out purpose in me, train me, and model womanhood for me had instead forsaken me? What if the stand-in, my stepfather, had exploited and abused me, stealing my innocence and twisting my entire perception of right, wrong, and justice?"

What then?

What did God require of me then?

What if, when we asked for bread, we were handed a stone?
What if, when we reached for comfort, we were met with pain?
What if our search for nourishment ended with a sting?

What then?

I didn’t know I was allowed to ask these questions.
But God did.
And He was ready to meet me right there, in the middle of them.

Pastor Castellanos, with such gentleness and reverence, gave me permission to bring those questions to the surface—and offered me God's perspective:

First of all: God saw me.
Nothing that happened to me escaped His attention. Not a single moment was hidden from His eyes. And yet—He had already made a way to restore me.

Secondly: He would take me in as His very own.
"...yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child]. Psalm 27:10 AMPC
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

To leave is to walk away physically. To forsake is to emotionally detach, to abandon the heart.
God promised He would do neither.
Not then. Not ever.

Thirdly: He would set things right.
God wanted to heal—and clarify—my perspective on family.
No, I couldn’t change what had happened. But He could stop the dysfunction from continuing through me.
Reconciliation was always His heart. But when that wasn’t possible (as in my case), His priority became healing and restoring my heart.

Yes, I needed healing.
But I also needed forgiveness.
God didn’t excuse the pain I had gone through—but He didn’t leave me bound by the pain I had caused, either.
He held me responsible for what was mine—but never held over me what wasn’t.
He could heal what had been done to me, and He could lift the weight of guilt for what I had contributed.
Only a just God can do both.

This is who God is.
Not distant. Not dismissive.
But near to the brokenhearted. Present with the forsaken. Just toward all.

He took me in.
Not as a project to fix.
But as a daughter to love.

If you’ve ever felt abandoned—by parents, by people, by systems that should have protected you—I want you to know this:

God sees. God knows. And God will take you in.
You are not too far gone.
You are not too broken.
And you are not alone.

He didn’t leave me alone to figure it out.
He took me in as His own.
He Himself filled the vacancies that were left.
And now, through me, He is restoring what family was always meant to be.
