For the girls…If God said it, Just Start!

One of the greatest things I ever did was simply start when God told me to start! I didn’t have a full strategy. All I had was my faith and a belief that whatever God wanted me to do, God would give me the wisdom, the resources, and the right people to do exactly what he was showing me that could be possible with him.

Here it is, almost 7 years later, glory to God! I am so grateful to say that I started.

And, I believe greater things are coming over me, and the things that God has trusted for me to do.

If you are reading this, I do not care what your age is, where you grew up, how much money is in your bank account.

If God has shared for you to do something, right now is the perfect time for you to begin to start.

All you have to do is simply trust in God, and watch God blow your mind!

Love,

Your Bestie,

Breonna

And if you are looking for weekly encouragement, like this, feel free to take the Faith Builder Quiz.

It is a quiz I created to encourage the girls who are literally building by faith. You can take this quiz whenever you go to

I am so excited to go on this journey with you and see what will be possible for you when you trust God to build by Faith💕✨

... Read moreStarting something new, especially when guided by faith, is both exciting and daunting. The idea that it’s never too late to start, whether you’re in your 30s or beyond, is an empowering message many women need to hear. The OCR phrases like "Start in August," "Start in your 30's," and "It is not too late to start" emphasize that timing should never hold you back. The moment God nudges you to begin, that’s the right time. Faith isn’t just about waiting for perfect conditions; it’s about taking that initial step trusting God will provide the necessary wisdom, resources, and connections along the way. Many women experience hesitation because they want a fully formed plan before acting. However, stories like Breonna's show that sometimes the best approach is to start with faith and allow the strategy to unfold. This trust often leads to unexpected blessings and breakthroughs. The phrase "Start late, start you are breathing" reminds us to value our present life and opportunities and to realize that fresh beginnings can occur at any life stage. It's also important to remember that faith-building is a continuous journey. For those seeking encouragement, interactive tools such as the Faith Builder Quiz mentioned can offer personalized motivation and direction. Engaging with a community of believers provides emotional support and shared wisdom, making the path less lonely. If you feel called to act but fear what’s ahead, consider small steps today. Prayer, meditative reflection, or sharing your vision with a trusted friend can ignite confidence. Faith combined with action is powerful—watching how God "blows your mind" through provision and timing is inspiring. In sum, "just start" with God’s guidance. Embrace the journey with patience and trust, knowing it’s never too late to pursue your dreams through faith. The journey is uniquely yours, and each step forward is a testament to your courage and belief in God’s plan.

The Book That Finally Said What I Couldn’t
Some days, I wasn’t sad. I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t even crying. I was just… tired. Mentally, emotionally, soul-deep tired. And no one saw it — because I still showed up, smiled, did the work, kept the peace. Then I wrote the book I needed to read: You’re Not Broken, You’re Just Fcking Tired
