Dear 2024,
Thank you for introducing me to the rawest version of myself yet. You revealed deep roots, unearthed the soil of my potential, and simply taught me how to water my plant. Now, I’m not going to lie to you… the girl you introduced me to kind of scared me for real. I was ready to “Forest Gump” her real bad, but instead, I was gifted with a vulnerable season of growth—facing myself, fully addressing my weaknesses, and choosing to bet on the woman God created me to be.
This year was my ultimate plant era. Let me explain:
🌱 Some old leaves in my life had to be cut because they were simply withering away.
🌱 Some leaves I needed to stop hiding behind and allow the Son-light to shine on them a little bit.
🌱 Some leaves needed to be propagated so they could reproduce what God had already planted inside of me.
🌱 Some seasons required repotting so my roots could grow a little deeper.
🌱 I learned that my leaves are delicate and deserve proper care, and above all else, I’m the one who needs to water, nourish, and grow all that God has called me to be.
🌱 I also learned not to be so stubborn in the watering process and to be completely open to watering tips—sometimes asking for help is more protective than hiding your leaves.
🌱 I let some leaves fade away by simply not asking good enough questions or, worse… not asking questions at all. 😮💨 0/10 recommend, lol. We’re packing up that kind of thinking in 2025 for real.
🌱 I learned the value of bringing life to spaces but also the importance of bringing that same life into my own home—wholeness.
🌱 I learned the true discipline of watering, whew… because if you don’t water those plants, then who else will? This one almost took me out, lol. If at first you don’t succeed, dust those leaves and water again.
🌱 I learned that vulnerability is my strength, authenticity is my superpower, and I also learned a lot about metamorphosis because I have a newfound obsession with butterflies.
🌱 I learned that everyone’s watering process is different… not all plants are the same, so focus on watering yours!
🌷 I grew some leaves, some withered… but overall, in every lesson, the Master Gardener continually redirected my watering process, and for that, I’m forever grateful. 🥹🌱
God gave me so much mercy and grace to truly understand roots, and in this next season, I already know God is about to God like only God knows how to God. It’s time to buckle up because 2025 will be a year full of surprises (it will shake only those without a sturdy foundation—try Him, okay?), God’s promises, and beaming, blinding light. Crying in the club just thinking about it 🥹.
I’m grateful for every leaf because God truly prepared my hands for harvest in this season. The harvest surely won’t pick itself, but the fruit on the other side of obedience will be unlike anything one has ever tasted before. It’s time to lock in with God like never before and seek strategy on how to till the Promised Land!
Thank you, 2024, for showing me there’s power in showing up, but there’s also power in not showing up—allowing me to grow authentically, learn out loud, and affirm that the only constant in the world (besides God Himself) is change! It’s not always comfortable, but it is necessary. 💐
God, I thank You for all You’ve done and all You’re getting ready to do—Amen. 🙏🏾
With SO Much Love,
T
