“Started late but still going” Bible journey 🌱📖:

✨ Started 365 days late… but it’s alright. I’m still showing up. 🙌🏾

Consistency ain’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s missing a few days, scribbling X’s on a plan you forgot about, or picking back up with highlighters and heart. But THIS right here? This is growth.

I’m not chasing perfect — I’m chasing presence.

Showing up in my Word, even late.

Highlighting the verses I need, not just the ones I planned.

Letting God meet me exactly where I am 💜

So here’s to the “late” starters, the “try again tomorrow” believers, and the “progress over perfection” saints. We still in it. One verse, one day, one prayer at a time 🙏🏾
