A Reflection: The Leap Before the Walk

I wrote this in March — pregnant, hopeful, and honestly unsure of what obedience would look like on the other side.

I shared this....

At the time, I was leaping in faith before I had clarity, consistency, or confidence. I felt the call deeply, but I didn’t yet have the capacity to walk it out the way I envisioned. My body was tired. My mind was stretched. My spirit & heart were being refined.

Looking back now, I see that season for what it truly was:
Preparation, not delay.

God wasn’t rushing me into visibility — He was inviting me into intimacy.
He wasn’t asking me to perform — He was asking me to become.

I talked about abundance before I had experienced it.
I spoke about grace before I fully understood how much I would need it.
I declared “muva of two” before I knew how much motherhood would stretch and soften me.

And now… I’m walking. 

Not perfectly.
Not loudly.
But intentionally.

This season looks different than the one I imagined in March — and that’s the beauty of obedience. I’m no longer forcing alignment. I’m no longer chasing momentum. I’m showing up from a place of rooted identity, not urgency.

I’m still a wife.
Still a mother.
Still committed to wellness, beauty, and faith.

But now, I’m leading from experience — not anticipation.

What you’re seeing now isn’t a rebrand.
It’s a resurrection of what God planted back then.

So I’m sharing this again — not because it was perfect, but because it was faithful. And because sometimes the first step isn’t meant to go viral… it’s meant to grow roots.

If you’re in a season where you leapt before you could walk — this is your reminder:
You didn’t miss it.
You weren’t behind.
You were being built.

Hey gworl heyyy! Ive been anticipating this leap of faith for months now, (if i'm being honest, years) I’m so excited to kick off this new chapter with you all on my journey from Faith To Flawless. There are so many different facets to my expression of who God is creating me to be and I cant hold it in any longer, all of this is new, but what better way for us to increase our faith and unlock all HE has in store. As I take charge of this space, I want to invite you into my world, where faith, family, and personal growth intertwine seamlessly.

It keeps happening for me...

We are having another babyyyyyy !!! These last 20 weeks have been trying times for my body and my faith.I believe this was the Lords way of inviting me into a place of deeper intimacy and preparing me for an abundance of love and grace.  My family and I are eagerly embracing this miracle and all the beautiful moments yet to unfold. It’s an incredible reminder of how blessed we are, and I can’t wait to share this journey of motherhood with you as I boldly step into being a muva of 2.

Beyond the thrill of welcoming my little one, I’m also opening up more about my faith walk and how it shapes my everyday life. Navigating a kingdom lifestyle means deepening my spiritual roots while balancing the many roles I proudly carry as a wife, a mother, and a woman committed to wellness. I’ll be diving into fashion and beauty topics that not only inspire your outer glow but nurture your inner shine.

You can catch me sharing snippets of this journey on YouTube and engaging with you through short-form content across Instagram and Tiktok. I’m committed to creating a vibrant community where we can uplift and inspire each other, sharing tips and experiences that make both our faith and lives fuller.

I’ve got so much more to share as we navigate this beautiful chaos together, all while striving for greatness in every area of our lives. Let’s dive into the real deal of living a faith-driven life in today’s world, and I can’t wait for us to uncover it all together!

Here’s to the blog — not as a launch, but as a continuation.

A reflection of growth, grace, and the seasons that shaped me quietly before they were ever shared publicly.

In this postpartum season, this space gives my voice somewhere gentle to land. A place where I can connect, reflect, and steward what God placed inside of me without pressure to perform — choosing presence over perfection and alignment over urgency.

This is me walking, not rushing.

Building with intention.

Showing up polished, present, and rooted in faith and real life.

Always, always, always — Lead By Living 🤍
