Inventory Summary
Emotional State: I’m Truly unsure. I feel like I’m growing in a few specific areas in my life and yet I feel like there’s so much I want to achieve. I yearn to embrace my achievements and enjoy my happiness but something keeps trying to weigh me down.
Spiritual State: I feel sure when I let myself rest in the arms of my Saviour. I’m glad this is steady flow for me.

Heart Check
One word that describes my heart today:
Becoming.
A sentence about what I need most right now:
I need to feel a difference.

5-Song Playlist Reflecting My Life and Current Season

1. “Unwritten” – Natasha Bedingfield
This song is a personal anthem for my son and me. We listen to it as a way to motivate ourselves — a reminder that the power lies within us, and no one else will write our story. It’s all inside of us.

2. “Rise Up” – Ada Ehi
This track resonates deeply with me and my sisters. It speaks to the strength we must summon to rise above our circumstances — because no one else can do it for us. The will and the power are within.

3. “Seasons Change” – United Pursuit, Michael Ketterer
This song reminds me that life flows in seasons. Each one — with its uncertainties and transitions — carries lessons. Right now, I may not feel fully present, but I rest in the assurance that God’s love is carrying me through.

4. “One More Day” – Sons of Sunday
I chose this song as I reflect on how deeply God loves me, even through my struggles. He offers grace, even in the midst of pain, and gives me the gift of one more day — every day. Listening to this also brings my dad to mind.

5. “Anyone Who Knows” –  Irma Thomas
I love the feeling called love. Love is beautiful and I feel it deep down. I find happiness in love…my son, husband, sisters, parents and anyone who means much to me. Sometimes I feel it’s really hard to explain.  Sometimes I feel most people don’t understand it.
