What Is Cortisol & How Does It Affects Us?

Image
I share from my own healing journey—these posts are for me first, then if you relate, for you too. I’m simply walking in purpose and sharing what helps me heal and grow, in hopes it may encourage you to. 🌱✨  Cortisol is a hormone your body produces in response to stress. It’s made by your adrenal glands (small glands that sit on top of your kidneys) and plays a big role in how your body manages stress, energy, and balance. Functions of Cortisol Stress response : Often called the "stress hormone," cortisol helps your body deal with challenges by triggering the "fight-or-flight" response. Metabolism : It helps regulate how your body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy. Inflammation control : Cortisol keeps inflammation in check, so your immune system doesn’t overreact. Blood sugar balance : It works with insulin to keep your blood sugar levels steady. Sleep/wake cycle : Cortisol is usually higher in the morning (to help you wake up and ...

A Loner Who Is Never Alone

 


I was so happy the day I began loving my own company. No longer chasing people to keep friendships going, that was when I started to value myself and my time. Maybe because of how differently I think now—conversations often don’t align with the way I see the world. I’m not trying to be offensive, or judge because I am not perfect and there are things I still have to let go of, but I wrestle between brutal honesty and compassionate silence when it comes to being in the company of others. 

 God meets me—in the stillness, in the space where I feel least burdened by the world.

Yet in my solitude, I’m reminded that God didn’t design us to walk alone. Community and family mean more to Him than we realize. And as I step deeper into my purpose, I feel a new calling: to build the very kind of community I once avoided—one grounded in faith, creativity, belief, and purpose.

The clearer I see the vision, the more I feel the excitement rising. This community isn’t just for me—it’s for the ones who’ve felt misunderstood, who want to become better people, who are searching for truth, and who long to create and grow together. We’re not meant to journey alone. Not anymore.


Sometimes I even find myself in places and spaces that don’t make sense to the physical eye. People might wonder, “Why are you there?” But I know—I'm often placed there on assignment.

God positions me where change needs to happen. Where light is needed. Where truth must be spoken in love. And now that I’m fully aware of this part of my spiritual journey, I no longer resist it—I embrace it.

If it will glorify God and reach even one soul… it's worth it.
Praise God. Glory to His Holy Name.

 

I’m Not Here to Please People
I walk in the awareness that the only One I’m truly here to please is God. Yes, we must coexist—but it’s what God wants from me that matters most.

I’ve learned that unhealed people, often unknowingly, can become vessels for the wrong forces. This isn’t judgment—it’s spiritual reality. And I no longer ignore the signs.

As a child of God, I will pray for you and wish you well. But I won’t pretend not to see what side you're standing on.

We are in a spiritual battle, and discernment is not optional—it’s necessary.
I move in love, but I also move in truth.
