This is a reminder that paths that seem blocked to us are not obstacles to God. In July of 2025, I was given one word … SUDDENLY, which slowly began to appear all over my social media accounts. A delicious spaghetti bolognese made with veggies, beyond ground ‘beef’, and walnuts. The world sells fear, but you don’t have to buy it. “For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” 🩷 Word for Today 🩷 Imposter Syndrome WILL never stop God’s unconditional love for you. 🦋 Word for Today 🦋 It took a while for me to come up with the right words to say, because the truth is that this has affected me more than I’d like to admit.
