THIS IS THIRTY-SIX

 

So This Is 36

“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.”

— Psalm 138:8 (NKJV)

Before I embrace 36, I honor 35.

Thirty-five was the year I faced my deepest fears. Everything I had ever been afraid of, I faced. It was a turning point.

My relationship with the Lord Jesus deepened, and my understanding of life became clearer. I realized I had been a people pleaser. Through adversity, setbacks, and limitations, I lost my voice, but I found it again.

I now see that the past decade was preparation for the stage God was setting before me. I asked for wisdom in 2016, and the years that followed were my wilderness. I was pruned. I was stretched. I was refined, not to harm me, but to prepare me.

So this is 36.

Thirty-six is a marker.

Thirty-six is a shift.

I am rising.

No more seeking validation. Just living in peace that surpasses all understanding.

I am not afraid to let go of anything or anyone. I have a destiny to fulfill. Those in alignment will remain. Those who are not will fall away. No forcing, no striving, just momentum.

Life is short. I will live fully, with no regrets.

Thank You, Jesus.

Thank You, Holy Spirit.

Thank You, God.

Hallelujah.

Happy birthday to me.

Closing Reflection

This is Thirty-Six, not a season of striving, but of settling into truth. I choose clarity over confusion, peace over pressure, and alignment over performance. I have learned that momentum doesn’t have to be loud, and strength doesn’t have to be hard. There is a quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are and whose you are.

I am carried, anchored, and still. I am no longer drawn to noise, but to what sustains me. This is not a glow-up; it is a homecoming, a return to the truest version of myself. Secure whether in abundance or in simplicity, I stand grounded beyond circumstances, trusting the path laid before me.

As I step forward, I do so with gratitude for every season that shaped me and with openness for all that is still unfolding. My prayer is that you, too, would choose clarity, walk in peace, and honor the quiet strength within you.

This is Thirty-Six. And I am at home.

Thank you for reading and sharing. I appreciate you dearly.
