Hey Sunshine,
Today, I celebrated another year of life – a day that was simple, amazing, and filled with the love of God, free treats, and the company of those dear to my heart, here to study God’s word.
As I reflect on these 31 years, I wanted to share the invaluable takeaways that have shaped my journey.
Here are 31 lessons I wanted to share to live with purpose, on purpose:
1. Faith Over Fear: Confront your fears head-on, choosing faith as your guide.
2. Divine Action: Act on what God has placed on your heart; His guidance is your compass.
3. Pray Through All Seasons: Maintain a constant connection with prayer, in both good and challenging times.
4. Never Settle for Less: Set high standards for yourself and your life; never accept anything less.
5. Vital Solo Parenting: Solo parenting is tough but essential for safety and the well-being of your children.
6. Live Life Boldly: Embrace life with boldness, seizing every opportunity with excitement.
7. Kindness is Priceless: Extend kindness freely; it costs nothing but means everything.
8. Sobriety and Joy: Sobriety isn’t a compromise on happiness; you can still find joy without sacrificing fun.
9. Reflect Your Circle: You are a reflection of the top five people you spend your time with; choose wisely.

16. Personal Growth First: Focus on your personal growth before influencing others positively.
17. It's Okay Not to Be Okay: Acknowledge when you're not okay, but don’t linger in that state; keep moving forward.
18. Alcohol Isn't a Solution: Seek solutions beyond alcohol; it won’t solve life’s challenges.
19. Control Your Response: The only thing you can control is yourself – how you respond and react.
20. Joy Protection: No one can steal your joy without your consent; safeguard it.
21. Self-Love Precedes Love: To receive love properly from others, love yourself properly first.
22. Live Life Well: Life is too short; live it well and purposefully.
23. Set Boundaries: Establish and uphold boundaries; even if it pushes some away, it preserves your well-being.
24. We Aren't Fixers: We're not here to fix others; focus on your journey.
25. Wise Companionship: Choose your companions wisely; they shape your path.
26. Waiting on Your Boaz: Patience in relationships is key; wait for the right partner.
