A Divine Alignment
Six days ago, I quietly crossed another milestone, another year around the sun. This year, my birthday aligned with Good Friday, a powerful reminder of sacrifice, grace, and divine love. I don't take that timing lightly. It's a sacred alignment that made me pause, reflect, and thank the great God I serve daily, faithfully, and gratefully.
Living Proof of Purpose
At 26, I don't just celebrate age. I celebrate the assignment. I look back and realize that through God's infinite wisdom and mercy, I have lived a life rich with creativity, vision, and impact. I've ventured into the worlds of art, business, authorship, and purpose-driven work not by luck but by divine design. Every idea, every move, every opportunity came from God. And even when I didn't understand the lesson at the moment, I now understand the blessing that followed it.
The Power of God's Presence
I've seen highs that lifted me beyond what I imagined and lows that humbled me to my knees. But in every season, God was consistent. He covered me when I didn't deserve it. He molded me through trials I thought would break me. He gave me platforms to speak, create, build, and, most importantly, serve.
A Vessel for Hope and Light
To be a light in the darkness, a voice for the voiceless, and a vessel of hope for dreamers who still believe in the impossible is not just a passion but a calling. And I am honored that God saw fit to choose me.
Some say 26 is still young. Others call it the preface to maturity. I call it middle-aged youth, where my body matures, my wisdom deepens, but my imagination remains childlike. I still see the world through the lens of wonder. I still dream like a kid, create like a rebel, and believe like a child who knows his Father has all power in His hands.
A Story Still Being Written
There's so much more to come: more books, more art, more vision, more healing, and more purpose. I know this because God is not done with me yet. I am not finished. This is not the climax. This is simply the continuation of a story that God is still writing.
So today, I don't just celebrate a birthday. I honor the Author of Life.
Thank you, Lord, for every breath.
For every battle is won silently.
For every door opened, that man tried to close.
For the strength to create.
For the grace to endure.
And inspire others who desperately need truth, beauty, and faith.
Thank you to everyone who has walked with me, uplifted me, believed in me, or challenged me to grow. Your presence has been part of the process, and your impact is part of the equation.
This journey is far from over. The Marathon continues. But I don't run it alone. God runs before me, beside me, and within me.
Here's to life, legacy, and limitless faith.
To 26 years of favor and eternity in His presence.
All glory to God. Always.
