Pressure is real.
But falling doesn’t mean you weren’t prepared.

Sometimes it just means something pulled you off your axis.

When a skater is aligned — centered — they can spin, jump, and land strong.
What winners do is stop fighting themselves.

They stay on their axis.

That’s alignment. ✨

Lent is an invitation to come back to center.
To stop drifting.
To stop bending under pressure.
To stop fighting yourself.

Repent = realign.

Axis. Granted. 🙏

We love activation. Push through. Get up. Keep going. 💪✨

But activation only works to a point.

Sometimes your body makes a different choice.
Sometimes you collapse. 🫠

Not because you’re weak.
Because it’s too much.

On the mountain, the disciples fell flat in the presence of glory. ⛰️🌤️
And Jesus didn’t shame them for it.

He knelt down.
He reached out. 🤲
“Get up. I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”

Biology made them fall.
Theology let them rise. 🌅

If you’re face-down right now — this might just be the turning point.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t action—it’s the space in between. ⏳
We call it paralysis.
Scripture calls it an invitation. ✨

Jesus was busy—and still stopped.
For the urgent. For the long-suffering.
For spoken prayers and silent ones. 🙏🏽

If you’re stuck, grieving, or moving slower than you think you should…
don’t rush it. God is in the in-between. 💛

I don’t think God’s interested in your plans. I think God is interested in who you’re becoming.

The work you’ve been assigned is *holy*. It carries God’s anointing. And anointing brings…provision. You don’t have to collapse under a weight you were never assigned.

What are you already carrying that you’ve never considered sacred before? So many of you don’t offer what you have because you’re waiting for just the right conditions. Of you’re waiting for some more perfect version of yourself to emerge first. Drop that demon. Eliminate that stronghold. Because, like the wise ones, in Jesus’ presence, what was precious is made sacred.

I stand before you today saying: this is a new day. A Turning Point. I’m ready to do my part in making some changes to live a little differently. Steadier and readier than ever. Prepared. Because I’m channeling Anna. I’m fasting and I’m praying and I’m staying in the Temple, praising God. So that whenever God shows up? I won’t be distracted.

When God chose that manger, in a crowded home, God was keeping the Holy Family safe. No one would look for a king there.

Heaven moves first in the margins. Angels skip the courts and councils of kings, choosing instead to go straight to shepherds working the night shift. They’re ordinary people. Watching and waiting through the night for the light to shine.

Please, beloved, don’t miss God’s strategy of protection. This is how God moves.
