Pressed, Not Defeated

Image
  We just finished the Daniel Fast, and it seemed as though I was being pressed on every side. For a moment, I found myself becoming frustrated. Everything that mattered to me appeared to demand my attention all at once. The distractions felt relentless. Then something shifted. I believe it was something my nephew said that reminded me of Jesus' own experience. After fasting for forty days and forty nights, Satan came to tempt Him. The enemy didn't show up before the fast—he came afterward, attempting to weaken Jesus' resolve and redirect His focus. In that moment, I began to see my own situation differently. This wasn't simply a series of unfortunate events. It felt like another attempt by the enemy to pull my attention away from what matters most—to distract me from prayer, to weaken my faith, to consume my thoughts with the things closest to my heart until I lost sight of God's presence. But I refuse to sink. Like Peter stepping onto the water, I know what happen...

Childhood Games To Purpose - Full Circle


 

As a young girl, I loved playing house—but my favorite games were always “store,” “teacher,” and “doctor.” I didn’t know then, but it seems I was rehearsing for my real life.

At 12 or 13, I got my first taste of entrepreneurship, selling Kudos candy bars at school thanks to my aunt. It felt natural—like something inside me already knew how to build, serve, and share. Teaching came natural too. I’ve always had a heart for sharing what I’ve learned, planting seeds in others. And the healer in me? Still present. I often receive insights—spiritual remedies and visions—that I research and find real benefits like medicine.

It’s amazing to realize that the games I played as a child were never just pretend—they were glimpses of my calling. These roles still shape who I am today. Playing store as I create products and have an online store , teacher as I heal I share what I am learning or have learned sometimes sharing my thoughts on the topic in a way that provokes thought, and doctor wasn’t random because to this day I still get inspired remedies and medicines—it was purpose peeking through.

It appears that what we’re drawn to as children can be clues to our future. Our childhood joy might just be the earliest whispers of who we’re meant to become.
