Grace in the Middle of the Ride

As 2025 wraps up, I can say it’s been Mr. Toad’s wild ride no seatbelt, no map, just twists and lessons I never asked for. I’ve had my moments of struggle and sadness, because that’s real life. But I’ve also found blessings in the chaos, moments of serenity between the storms.

So here I am still standing, still pushing forward, still trusting God to lead me. I’ve learned that resilience is both a fight and a gift something Momma Dukes 𓆉 instilled in me.

As this year closes, I honor every version of myself that made it through the broken, the healing, and the calm that followed the storm. Standing up again counts. Finding peace in the middle counts. And trusting the journey, even when it’s wild, is its own kind of blessing.

Here’s to resilience and serenity all wrapped together. 🤍✨

Fruit of the Spirit Bible Journaling Idea

Gratitude in the middle of the mess
Storms will come — in business, in family, in life. But Pivot in Grace means learning to bend, not break. 🌧☕ It’s not about waiting for everything to settle down… it’s about finding joy, peace, and even gratitude in the middle of the mess. 💡 Your storm doesn’t define you. Your grace in the middle

Quiet Grace
Sarai and Abram were promised a son, but as time passed, they grew impatient. Sarai gave Hagar to Abram. They doubted. They tried to take control. And still—God met them with grace. These are photos from my personal Bible study notes. A reminder for me (and maybe for you too): God’s faithfulness

The book cover for 'Wildfire' by Hannah Grace features two characters, a man and a woman, standing in a camp setting with a campfire. The title is prominent, and the author is noted as a New York Times bestselling author of 'Icebreaker'.
A page from 'Wildfire' shows highlighted text where a character humorously states, 'If you say being sad makes you horny two more times, Mason will appear like Beetlejuice,' in a conversation about relationships and emotions.
A page from 'Wildfire' with highlighted text where the narrator describes herself as being 'about as quiet and graceful as a drunk hippo' while trying to leave a room quietly.

RIDE-SHARE AND TAXI APPS IN EVERY COUNTRY OR REGIO
If you’re planning a trip abroad and planning to move around a large city, or city-to-city, you will most likely need a ride share or taxi hailing app. Uber is available in many countries, but in my experience in some countries there are not many Uber drivers, or the prices are not the best deal.

Sis, even if the morning didn’t go how you planned… you’re not behind. Take a deep breath. There’s still time to pause, pray, and start again. Grace doesn’t run out at noon — it just whispers, “You’re still covered.” 🫶🏾 Write that reminder down today in your From Survival to Sanctuary journal
