I'm so late will be ready next week

Daily Check-In 💚 I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I honestly believe I may need to spend more time learning about relationships. Not romantic relationships—relationships in general. Friendships. Family. Business. Professional relationships. All of them. It seems like I often find myself getting the short end of the stick, especially with people I genuinely believed I had a good relationship with. I’ve even caught myself wondering, “Do I have ‘victim’ written on my forehead?” But I know that can’t be true. I’ve survived things that should have broken me. I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would never be weak again. I stand on my own two feet, and I’ve learned to address people respectfully but immediately when they cross a boundary. So maybe this isn’t about weakness. Maybe it’s about wisdom. What’s even harder is when the disappointment comes from people you’re supposed to be able to trust—people like a lawyer, a business, or a professional whose job is to protect your interests. Those situations are different because you’re almost required to place your trust in them. When that trust is mishandled, it can shake your confidence in ways that are hard to explain. But as I sat and thought about all of this, I realized something. The one relationship in my life that has never left me feeling cheated, manipulated, or abandoned is my relationship with God. My walk with Him hasn’t been perfect. It’s still growing. But He has never failed me. Even when I couldn’t understand what He was doing, I can look back now and see that He was working things out in ways I couldn’t see at the time. Somehow, He has a way of taking what looked wrong and turning it into something for my good. Maybe that’s why my trust in Him keeps getting stronger. People are human. They’ll disappoint you. They’ll misunderstand you. Sometimes they’ll even take advantage of your trust. God never has. So maybe this next season of my life isn’t about becoming harder or more guarded. Maybe it’s about asking God for the wisdom to recognize who deserves my trust, who deserves healthy boundaries, and who simply isn’t meant to walk closely with me.

Hi, I’m so happy to be apart of your community and can’t wait to learn more about relationships and learn new skills that I can use. 😊👏🏽🙌🏾

: I know there’s a place called sleep. People talk about it like it’s a destination they visit every night. For me, it feels like a place I can never quite find. Around 11 o’clock, the yawns come. My eyes get heavy. I tell myself, “Maybe tonight.” But sleep never arrives. So after lying there for a while, I eventually give in and get up. The house is quiet. The world is still. And I just… wander. I found myself walking through my house this morning, admiring the little projects I’ve poured my heart into over the past few weeks. My walk-in closet. The statement wall in my bedroom. Anthony’s freshly painted room, already imagining how we’re going to transform it into the NBA room he’s been dreaming about. Then I sat back down at my computer and went back to my book. The writing isn’t the hard part—it’s these stubborn margins and formatting that keep testing my patience—but I’m determined to finish what I started. The funny thing is, I’m not awake because I’m worried. I’m not stressed. My mind isn’t racing with fear or problems. I’m simply… awake. Maybe this season isn’t about losing sleep. Maybe it’s about finding purpose in the quiet hours while the rest of the world is dreaming. And if sleep ever decides to stop by, it’ll find me exactly where I’ve always been—creating, grateful, and still moving forward.
