My Love Letter to: 2025

Sincerely Angie2 Comments

We have about 4 days left before 2026 enters the chat. With the God that I know, anything and a lot can happen in 4 days, but I just have to dote on 2025. I noticed how much we tend to count down and plan for the next holiday, blessing, birthday, big event or the next year, without fully acknowledging the here and now. A silent goal I have been focusing on, is to be content in whatever season and moment I am in.

Society, social media, the world, etc. tells us to be on go mode and grind all day, every day. I did that about 15 years ago. I burned myself out and I’ve learned that it’s not worth it, for me. I did the grinding in my twenties. Now at 41, securing my future while enjoying my present(literally life itself, is a gift) is my priority. Living in the now and enjoying any and everything I do and taking it, for what it is.

In 2025, I learned to fully acknowledge my light, my life and how grateful I am to be me. I’ve always known that I was a creature of habit but it didn’t really hit until while on Facetime calls, my cousin would always compliment my life. I’ve been hearing and seeing the term “romanticize your life” and subconsciously, I’ve been doing that for two decades and never realized it. It’s my life, so it’s normal for me but when other people notice it and point it out, you have no choice but to acknowledge how blessed you are.. I love my nighttime routine. I love that I only work three days a week and anything extra is overtime and optional. I love that some days, I can sleep until 11a and feel great about the much needed rest. I love that some days I have a to-do list with 5-8 goals and other days, I sit in one spot and watch tv shows and movies all day. It’s all about balance.

2025 isn’t even a milestone year for me but its impact will definitely be one to remember. A year for realization, boundaries, spiritual growth, healing, relearning and extending even more grace than ever before. Discipline, letting go and sticking to my word, are things that are also teaching me more and more about my abilities. Creating daily to-do list has been really satisfying as well.

God, thank You for Your divine timing and allowing 2025 to be THE year. You knew I was ready and You knew everything I needed this year, to get me to all of my dreams and desires. 2025 was a quiet but very loud year for me. This year was the year that showed me that it was truly time to make moves. Thank God for answered prayers! Happy holidays and happy new year everyone! Be blessed!

Sincerely,

Angie

God is Guiding

Sincerely Angie2 Comments

I was listening to an IG video and the woman in the video said “God is Godding” but the auto-generated caption read “God is Guiding”. And immediately, I started to draft this post. I have no bullet points or talking points. I’m just writing. Because as soon as I saw it, that familiar feeling hit me. It’s the same feeling I get when I find a title/topic for a podcast episode. It’s placed on my spirit. Thank You God. There You are at work again.

He’s at work because my theme this year is to lead with God. Let God lead and let Him order my steps. When you trust God, he gives you, what I call, “breadcrumbs” to lead you in the right direction. The obedience to follow and listen to Him, comes with spending time with God and strengthening your relationship with Him. You learn His voice and the way that He speaks to YOU. He is a guiding light.

Psalm 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

I was very young when I learned the meaning of my name and it was not by coincidence. It’s all a part of His plan. “Angela means heavenly messenger.” So for a long time, I’ve been cautious and careful with what I say and how I represent myself and God. I pray before many situations for Him to bridle my tongue. But don’t get it twisted, I have not been perfect. I have said some things, thought some things and sinned, a lot! While I may not have always looked the part, in the eyes of people, thankfully, God knows my heart.

With that being said, I pray that everything I say, be God led, God fed and God said through me. I don’t know who this post was for, and I hope something I said resonates with someone. Even if it doesn’t right away, I was obedient because God still works on His timing and whomever, will see this whenever they’re supposed to. Letting God guide you means doing things and not knowing the reason. Just be the vehicle and enjoy the ride!

Sincerely,

Angie

Son-Screen

Sincerely AngieLeave a comment

Make sure you’re protected.

Last week as I was driving home, my face started to feel funny from the sun/heat. In that moment, I started to wonder if this is why they tell you to wear sunscreen even if you’re not going to be directly in the sun. From that moment forward, I make a decision to wear sunscreen every day.

Fast forward a day or so later, the sunscreen made me think about The Son (Jesus) and how much we need Him daily. When I apply sunscreen to my face, you can see a slight white cast on my skin. Throughout the day, the white cast isn’t as visible but if I touch my face, I can still feel the sunscreen. I’m still protected. This all reminds me of having a relationship with Jesus. He is our protection from this world if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. We put Him on daily by praying and talking to Him throughout the day. This is the same as the Armor of God that we are to put on daily. Equip ourselves with the Word in order to get through each day.

It may not always feel like He is there or present but God is omnipresent and the only way to Him is through His Son. We have to reapply our Son-screen daily. It may feel like you are alone in some situations or in life but you are protected. Even though you can’t see it, check your pulse. It’s proof that you are here and protected.

If you aren’t saved and want to experience this type of Son-screen(protection), just read this prayer aloud:

“Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ. I believe that He died and rose just for me. Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I repent for my sins and I turn to You. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

Sincerely, Angie
