There are three forces that carry me through every storm: confidence, faith, and strength.

Not the kind of confidence that comes from applause or validation—but the kind that’s rooted in knowing who I am and whose I am. It’s the quiet assurance that I was created with purpose, and that my journey—every twist, every setback—is part of something bigger.

Faith is my anchor. It’s what keeps me grounded when life feels chaotic. Faith reminds me that I don’t have to have all the answers, because I trust the One who does. It’s not blind optimism—it’s bold belief. Belief that God is working, even when I can’t see it. Belief that I’m never walking alone.

And then there’s strength. Not just physical or emotional strength, but spiritual resilience. The kind that rises after a fall. The kind that chooses hope over bitterness. The kind that says, “I’ve been through worse—and I’m still here.”

Together, these three are my foundation. They remind me that I’m not defined by what I’ve lost, but by what I’ve overcome. That I’m not limited by fear, but empowered by grace.

So if you’re feeling uncertain today, I want to remind you: You are stronger than you think. You are held by a love that never fails. And you have everything you need to rise.

Confidence. Faith. Strength. Hold onto them. They’ll carry you through.
