Today felt like exhaling after holding my breath for far too long.
For the past 3 years, I lived and worked in a space where joy was quieted…
where passion felt heavy…
where something I loved so deeply was constantly shadowed by things meant to shake me.
It didn’t just affect my job—
it touched my home, my heart, my family…
and slowly, without even realizing it, it tried to take the light out of something God placed inside of me.
But today…
Today, I stepped into the water and felt something I haven’t felt in years.
Peace.
No noise.
No fear.
No weight sitting on my chest.
Just stillness…and purpose.
I heard God speaking to me today,
“I am with you. You’re safe here. You’re free now.”
And in that moment, everything came rushing back—
the joy, the passion, the calling.
The feeling I had my very first year… when this was all pure and untouched.
What was once stolen… was restored.
What once felt broken… was rebuilt.
And what tried to dim me… only made my light burn stronger.
I may not understand every part of the journey behind me,
but I trust the hands that carried me through it.
Because only God can take what was meant to break you…
and turn it into the very thing that sets you free.
Willis—this is home now.
Where I can show up fully.
Where I can give my whole heart.
Where I can walk boldly in what I was called to do.
I will always carry my Spring families with me—
you were a part of my story, my growth, and my heart.
And I miss you more than you know.
But I trust where God has placed me now.
To serve.
To teach.
To protect.
To save lives.
After lessons, I found myself in tears—
not from pain, but from a deep, overwhelming sense of joy and relief…
completely wrapped in God’s love and a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Today, I was set free.
Thank you, Jesus 🤍
