You ever look back at your life and barely recognize the person you used to be? That’s been me lately—spending quiet moments reflecting on my journey, the struggles I’ve faced, and the blessings I almost didn’t see along the way. I’m learning that discernment isn’t just a fancy word; it’s a lifeline. It’s the filter we use to sift through the noise and find what truly matters. And let me tell you, this process hasn’t just changed me—it’s reinvented me.
Reinvented
Reinvention wasn’t a smooth road for me—it was messy, uncomfortable, and at times downright painful. I had to confront parts of myself I wasn’t proud of: the habits that kept me stuck, the doubts that whispered I couldn’t change, and the beliefs that didn’t align with who I wanted to be. Slowly, I started peeling back those layers. What’s crazy is that I didn’t abandon “the old me”; I built on her. Every stumble, every tear, every hard-earned lesson—they’re part of the foundation I’m standing on today. Reinvention taught me that growth starts with grace—for myself and for the journey.
Reunified
This part hit me like a tidal wave. Somewhere along the way, I realized I had pieces of myself scattered everywhere—my faith, my relationships, my sense of purpose. I felt like a puzzle with missing parts. And discernment helped me see the bigger picture. I started leaning into my faith again, really opening my heart in prayer and seeking guidance. I reached out to people I’d drifted away from, people who love me for me. It felt like reuniting with lost parts of myself, and let me tell you, it was healing in ways I didn’t know I needed.
Redirected
If reinvention is breaking free and reunification is finding your anchor, then redirection is the leap of faith. For me, it meant trusting that the lessons I’ve learned are preparing me for something greater. It hasn’t been easy—I’m not exactly the most patient person—but I’m learning to embrace the unknown and take steps forward, even when the path isn’t clear. What I’ve realized is that redirection isn’t about a shiny new destination; it’s about walking forward with purpose, faith, and the courage to trust God’s plan.
So, here we are—reinvented, reunified, redirected. And if that all sounds like a lot, just remember: Even GPS gets confused sometimes and still manages to get you where you need to go. Trust the reroutes, embrace the pit stops, and know that every detour has a purpose. Because when God is navigating, lost isn’t in the vocabulary—only led.
