    WEEK 21 OF 52-2026 | C.H.O.S.E.N.-WEEK 2 OF THIS 6 WEEK SERIES| Confident & Healed: You Are More Than What Hurt You
    May 18 2026
    C.H.O.S.E.N. — SERIES- Confident in who you are- Healed from what hurt you- Open to growth- Strong through adversity- Empowered by purpose- Never meant to blend inWeek 2: H: Healed From What Hurt MeWelcome back to Week 2 of our C.H.O.S.E.N. series. Last week, we began walking through what it means to be chosen by God, not because of who we pretend to be, but because of who He created us to be. This week, we are focusing on the letter H — Healed From What Hurt Me.This topic is not easy. Healing is personal. Healing is layered. Healing requires honesty, courage, and surrender. Some wounds we talk about openly, while others we carry silently for years. Some pain is so deep that we learn how to function with it, smile through it, worship through it, and survive with it — but surviving is not the same as being healed.Today, I want to speak from a very real and vulnerable place. I am sharing a part of my story that took me years to even find the words for. My prayer is that as you read this, you feel seen, loved, and reminded that what happened to you does not define you. Your hurt may be part of your story, but it is not the end of your story.Before we go further, I want to gently say that today’s blog discusses sexual assault, trauma, and healing. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please take your time, pause when needed, and know that you are not alone.God is still a healer. God is still a restorer. God is still close to the brokenhearted.And if He can begin healing the broken places in me, I believe He can do the same for you.As we continue to break down the word C.H.O.S.E.N., today we are on the letter H — Healed from what hurt me.And honestly, we could be here for days, weeks, even months talking about all the things God has had to heal me from. Some wounds were visible. Some were hidden. Some I didn’t even realize were still controlling how I lived, loved, trusted, and saw myself.But today, I’ve chosen to share one part of my story with the hope that it encourages somebody else to allow God to heal them too.Scripture for Today“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3This scripture reminds me that God is not afraid of broken places. He does not turn away from wounds. He does not shame us for being hurt. Instead, He comes close, He heals, and He gently binds up what life tried to destroy.Why Healing Is ImportantHealing is necessary because what we don’t heal from, we often bleed on others.There is a saying: “Hurt people hurt people.” And while that may sound simple, it is very true. When we carry unhealed pain, it can show up in our relationships, our decisions, our attitude, our parenting, our friendships, our boundaries, and even our relationship with God.Unhealed hurt can make us defensive. It can make us isolate. It can make us angry. It can make us distrustful. It can make us blame ourselves for things that were never our fault.But when you are chosen, you have to understand that God never intended for your pain to be the end of your story. Some of the things you endured were not because God abandoned you, but because He was going to show you that there is a way through it — through Him.That does not mean what happened to you was okay. That does not mean God caused the hurt. That does not mean the person who hurt you gets excused.But it does mean that God can take what was meant to break you and use it to build something in you that the enemy can’t destroy.We often give the devil too much credit. The enemy has no real power over a child of God. He cannot do anything without God’s knowledge, and he cannot touch what God has already covered without God allowing it for a greater purpose. Even then, God’s purpose is not to harm you — it is to bring you through, heal you, restore you, and remind you who you are.Healed From Sexual AssaultOne of the things God has been healing me from is sexual assault.For a long time, I blamed myself for what happened to me. I carried shame that was never mine to carry. I replayed moments in my mind wondering what I could have done differently. I questioned myself. I questioned my worth. I questioned if I would ever truly feel whole again.And for over 20 years, I lived with it quietly.Twenty years is a long time to carry something that heavy. Twenty years is a long time to smile while hurting. Twenty years is a long time to survive something in silence.I was not comfortable sharing it for a long time, and I want to say this clearly: healing does not always happen overnight. Sometimes healing is a process. Sometimes God has to peel back layers. Sometimes we have to be honest about wounds we buried just to survive.But I thank God that He is patient. He did not force me. He walked with me. He comforted me. He reminded me that what happened to me did not define me.I am not what happened to me. I am not damaged goods. I am not unworthy. I am not dirty. I am not forgotten. I am chosen, loved, covered, and ...

    Restart, Reset, and Refocus: 242 Days to Finish Strong in 2026CLICK AND GRAB YOUR COPY ON AMAZON .... DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO FINISH STRONG GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU!!!There are 242 days left in 2026.That means there are still:5,808 hours348,480 minutes20,908,800 secondsThis is not the time to quit. This is not the time to give up. This is not the time to believe the lie that it is too late.There is still time to become disciplined. There is still time to obey God. There is still time to finish what you started. There is still time to heal, grow, build, write, launch, forgive, pray, plan, and move forward.The year is not over. Your assignment is not over. Your purpose is not canceled. Your promise is still alive.But in order to finish strong, you must make a decision: Restart, Reset, and Refocus.The Power of 242 DaysMany people look at what they did not accomplish and feel defeated. They focus on the missed opportunities, the delayed goals, the distractions, the pain, the mistakes, and the setbacks.But God does not need a full year to turn things around.God can restore momentum in a moment. God can give strategy in prayer. God can open doors that no man can shut. God can redeem time when your heart is fully surrendered to Him.Joel 2:25 KJV says: “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…”God is a restorer. He can restore time, vision, strength, relationships, confidence, discipline, and focus.The question is not, “Do I still have enough time?” The question is, “Am I willing to be intentional with the time I have left?”It Is Time to RestartTo restart means you are willing to begin again without shame.Maybe you started the year strong, but life happened. Maybe grief, disappointment, sickness, financial pressure, family issues, fear, or procrastination slowed you down. Maybe you lost your passion, your consistency, or your confidence.But hear this clearly: a delay is not a denial, and a setback is not the end of your story.Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV says: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning…”Every day is proof that God is giving you another opportunity. You do not have to wait until next year to start over. You can restart today.Restart your prayer life. Restart your writing. Restart your business plan. Restart your healing journey. Restart your fitness goals. Restart your financial discipline. Restart your ministry assignment. Restart your obedience.Do not allow shame to keep you stuck. God is not finished with you.It Is Time to ResetTo reset means to realign your life with God’s will, God’s Word, and God’s timing.Sometimes we get off track because we are busy but not fruitful. We are moving, but not in the right direction. We are saying yes to too many things and no to the very things God told us to do.A reset requires honesty.Ask yourself:What has been distracting me?What habits are hurting my progress?What relationships are draining my purpose?What did God tell me to do that I have delayed?What needs to be removed from my schedule?What needs to become a priority again?Hebrews 12:1 NIV says: “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”Everything that is available to you is not assigned to you. Everything that wants your attention does not deserve your focus. Some things must be released so you can run the race God has marked out for you.Reset your mindset. Reset your environment. Reset your schedule. Reset your boundaries. Reset your priorities. Reset your circle. Reset your commitment to God.You cannot finish strong carrying things God told you to lay down.It Is Time to RefocusTo refocus means to bring your attention back to what matters most.Distraction is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons. If he cannot destroy you, he will try to distract you. If he cannot stop your calling, he will try to scatter your focus.But in this season, you must become spiritually disciplined and purpose-driven.Philippians 3:13-14 KJV says: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind… I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”Paul said, “This one thing I do.” That is focus.Not ten things. Not distractions. Not comparison. Not looking back. Not rehearsing failure. Not living in regret.He said, “I press.”Over these next 21 days, you must press. Press in prayer. Press in discipline. Press in obedience. Press in faith. Press when you are tired. Press when you do not feel motivated. Press when it feels uncomfortable.Your future requires your focus.The Next 21 Days: Restart, Reset, and RefocusThe next 21 days can become a turning point if you are willing to be intentional.Do not just talk about change. Build a plan for change.For the next 21 days, commit to:1. Pray before ...

    Staying F.O.C.U.S.ed—The Hour of P.O.W.E.R. | WEEK 12 OF 52 NEXT LEVEL |Wisdom in the Wilderness: Tuning Into God’s Direction When You Need
    Mar 30 2026
    Welcome back, Kings and Queens, to Week 12 of our 52-week journey, Staying F.O.C.U.S.ed!As we gather again on this path God has uniquely called and purposed for each one of us, I’m excited to announce that this week marks the beginning of a powerful 7-week deep dive into the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Each lesson is crafted to help you recognize, receive, and activate the Holy Spirit’s gifts in your everyday life.Get ready to go beyond inspiration—each week, we’ll incorporate practical tools and real-world applications, helping you experience lasting growth, renewed strength, and spiritual clarity. So grab your notepad and pen, open your heart, and prepare yourself for wisdom that transforms. Let’s dive in!WEEK 12: WISDOM Staying F.O.C.U.S.ed by Making Room for God’s PerspectiveThis week’s lesson on W.I.S.D.O.M. is all about equipping you with practical tools and real-world applications designed to make godly wisdom a living, breathing part of your daily walk. We’ll explore not only what wisdom means according to God’s Word, but how it looks in action—through the decisions you make, the challenges you navigate, and the relationships you nurture. By focusing on discernment, reflection, and seeking wise counsel, you’ll gain new clarity on how to align your thoughts and choices with God’s purpose for your life.Each day, you’ll be challenged to apply these steps in tangible ways—whether it’s pausing for prayer before a big decision, journaling what you sense God is teaching you, or reaching out to trusted mentors for advice. Our aim is for you to finish this week feeling renewed in strength, empowered to face uncertainty, and anchored in spiritual clarity.Embracing W.I.S.D.O.M. isn’t just about having the right answers; it’s about living with confidence that the Holy Spirit is guiding you step by step.W – Walk with God Stay closely connected to God through prayer, worship, and daily fellowship. True wisdom begins with a reverent relationship with Him.I – Invest in Insight Pursue understanding by studying God’s Word, seeking knowledge, and learning from both life experiences and others’ perspectives.S – Seek Counsel Value the voices of trusted mentors, leaders, and spiritual friends. Invite accountability and welcome advice that aligns with biblical truth.D – Discern Decisions Pause and pray before making choices. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, weighing each decision against God’s principles and peace.O – Observe and Reflect Take time to reflect on experiences, mistakes, and victories. Journaling or meditating helps you recognize God’s hand at work and grow in wisdom.M – Move in Faith Apply what you learn by stepping out with courage. Wisdom isn’t just knowing the right thing—it’s doing it, even when it takes faith to move forward.In a world flooded with opinions, options, and endless noise, clarity can feel just out of reach. How do we know which path is right, which voice to trust, or how to move forward when the way isn’t clear? The answer is not just information—but wisdom. This week, as we focus on the gift of wisdom, you are invited to step into a deeper understanding, to listen for God’s guidance above the commotion, and to embrace the power He has placed within you. Wisdom is the compass that orients your journey, and God delights in giving it to those who seek Him. Let’s discover together how staying F.O.C.U.S.ed empowers you to walk confidently, guided by discernment and peace.Why It’s Important to Know Your P.O.W.E.R.Wisdom is more than knowledge; it’s the ability to discern beyond the surface and see life through God’s eyes. Wisdom keeps you from rushing into decisions based on fleeting emotions or temporary circumstances. It slows you down so that you can sense God’s direction, instead of being swept away by the demands of the world or the opinions of others.Knowing your P.O.W.E.R. (Pray, Own, Welcome, Encourage, Release) is foundational to living a life of wisdom. When you stand in the authority God has given you, you begin to recognize the difference between what looks “good” and what is truly “God.” Staying rooted in P.O.W.E.R. means you’re open to God’s voice in all things—big or small—and you develop the courage to respond in faith, even when the answer stretches your comfort zone.Word of EncouragementYou are not lost, though the road may seem unclear. What feels like confusion is sometimes God calling you closer—to seek Him, to slow down, to listen for the whisper of wisdom that guides you into peace. If you need direction today, take a deep breath and remember: you are never alone in the search for answers. God promises to generously give wisdom to those who ask. Trust that a greater understanding is already on its way. Keep moving forward—you are equipped to make wise decisions, because you are connected to the Source of all wisdom.Word of the Day: DiscernmentScripture:...
