Isaiah 43:19 (NLT)

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

2023 was a year of learning and gaining knowledge for me. How about you? I firmly believe that God orchestrates everything for a reason and a season. The first unexpected event in 2023 was when over 300 of my eBay listings disappeared. It was a headache, and I haven’t replaced those listings yet. The last significant event in 2023 was the passing of my mom, and everything that occurred thereafter contributed to genuine mental health challenges.

As we step into 2024, I’ve revamped my apartment, reorganizing everything for a fresh start. My focus this year is on self-improvement and caring for my child. I hope to avoid attending any more funerals. I continue to pursue my dreams and personal development. In the past, I used to struggle with saying no to events, but not anymore. I cherish the people in my life, both friends and family, but if they truly care, they will understand. Many of my relationships have ended, and I’m okay with that because I need to grow. I harbor no ill feelings toward anyone; if I have wronged someone unknowingly, I am unaware. This year, I am determined to work hard to achieve my goals, especially since my son is in the 11th grade and will be graduating soon. I am also becoming more organized in my life.

God works in mysterious ways, and I have no regrets because everything is part of God’s plan, my journey, and my story. I am now in chapter 38, aligning with my age, and it’s time to actively pursue what God has in store for me. As my grandma used to say, “it’s not playtime, it’s prayed time.” Please exclude me from any plans. I want to embrace my introverted nature and stop pretending to be extroverted. Society often pushes for extroversion, but it feels fake and phony. Although extroversion was ingrained in me through past jobs, I no longer want to be in situations where I can’t be true to myself, as it leads me to drink at events. I wish everyone a fantastic new year and encourage you all to become unstoppable. Here’s the link to my social media and book https://linktr.ee/Resellriri
