2025 Is Here: Answer the Call

Now that 2025 is here, let this truth guide you: God doesn’t call the qualified—He qualifies the call.

The experiences you’ve walked through, the challenges you’ve overcome, and the lessons you’ve learned were not in vain. They’ve shaped you into someone uniquely equipped to make an impact. You don’t need to be perfect; you need to be willing. Be ready to answer the call, even when it feels uncertain or uncomfortable.

As Ed Mylett reminds us, “Your mess becomes your message.” What you’ve navigated in your journey can now serve as a light for someone else. Trust that your story has purpose, and that your perspective can inspire and guide others.

Step boldly into 2025 with faith and confidence. You are equipped for what lies ahead, and God will continue to provide everything you need to fulfill your calling. This is your year to embrace growth and step into your purpose.

“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:24

Here’s to a year of courage, faith, and extraordinary possibilities. The world is waiting for your unique light—let it shine brightly in 2025

💌 A Message Matters: From One Foster Youth Alum to Another 💌

The holidays can bring a mix of emotions for us as foster youth alumni—memories of resilience, moments of gratitude, and sometimes a longing for connection.

This season, I want to encourage you to send that text—to a mentor, a friend, or someone who’s been part of your journey. A simple “Thank you” or “I appreciate you” can mean so much more than you know.

And if there’s someone you’ve been meaning to check in with, this is your reminder: You’ve got the power to brighten someone’s day, and maybe even your own, with just a few words.

Connection is one of the greatest gifts we can give. Let’s share it this season. 💙

I believe that hope is the light that guides us through the darkest moments, reminding us that every challenge is an opportunity for growth.
Counting my blessing, that at a young age I managed to find hope through the storms.
