Journey With Patina

Have you ever felt spiritually disconnected?

To be honest, there were times in my life when I was going through the motions. I thought I was listening, but in reality I was not. That was probably a sign for me to slowdown and find a quiet space to listen. Nevertheless, I kept going.

When He has had enough He will sit you down. I know from experience. In 2024, God sat me down and said, 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽’𝓼 𝓮𝓷𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱. In February 2024, I had a knee replacement that shut me down for 3 months. But it took me another 2 months to begin to feel like myself. I was pushing to get back to the normal routine.

Well, apparently I wasn’t listening. August 2024, I was diagnosed with stage 2, breast cancer. My life, as I knew it came to a halt. I remember feeling scared, confused, and frustrated. I didn’t understand why God would do this to me, but I have always trusted Him. So, I said Lord I’m listening and trusting you. It has been a journey.

Fast Forward

It’s May 2025, I can’t tell you how grateful that I am that He slowed me down.

Over the past few months, in my quiet time with Him, He has revealed so much. He began to unfold His ministry for my life while I was healing physically and emotionally. I feel really good now about the path that He has me on. One thing is for sure, 𝓘 𝓭𝓸𝓷’𝓽 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓸𝓵𝓭 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮. God gave me a new life and I love it. I have a more peaceful and serene life. I’ve fallen in love with my devotional time with Him. There is no going back.

Living in peace and listening to God is a choice. I chose Him and trust Him.

Choose Him, choose love, because love is DOPE!

XOXO
