Surgery was done this morning. I can speak but my tongue is swollen. Pain is manageable, but Iāll update you on how I feel in the morning.

For most of my time as a creator, Iāve positioned myself as a teacher (because thatās what I am). Iāve mainly focused on short-form content because it requires less time commitment. Iāve tried creating long-form content formatted similarly to my short-form videos, but Iāve found it challenging since I donāt have a team or the time.
Two weeks ago, I started vlogging just to process my thoughts, and it did surprisingly well! Iāve made a few more videos since then that havenāt performed as well, but Iāve enjoyed the process. I guess Iām at a point in my journey where Iām less concerned about views and more focused on connection. Iāve always aimed to provide value, but nowāseeing how competitive it isāIām happy to build and create for the people who genuinely care about me and want to learn.
If youāre one of those people, thank you so much for being part of what I do.

I came to the end of my rope, and the Lord said ārest.ā And I sabbathed with him, and he with me.

Obedience is not a substitute for faith, but it is the fruit and evidence of faith.

If you donāt think rest is spiritual, try praying, reading your Bible, being present, and kind without sleep.

A person responded, āYou don't struggle less as a Christian. You struggle easier.ā
