Not everyone is meant to stay.
Some people have already played their part in your story,
and holding on will only keep you from where God is taking you next.

Letting them go may be one of the most painful things you’ll ever do,
but with every tear that falls,
you’re drawing closer to the place God has called you to be.

Don’t chase what He has already removed.
If it is truly part of His plan,
He will bring them back in His perfect timing.

Trust that what lies ahead is far greater
than anything you’ve had to leave behind.

Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

The past month, this quote has been resting heavily on my heart:

“Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed, and rearranged to locate us to the place we’re meant to be.”

The season I am in right now is calling for stillness, for reflection, and for letting go of the noise to hear what truly matters. So I’ve made the decision to step away from my personal social media for a little while to refocus on the things that I genuinely care about, including my spiritual growth.

Usually, I would slip away in quietness. Still, due to the ongoing projects, including an upcoming crowdfunding, some upcoming casting calls, I felt the need to make this post and move everything to my professional page & LinkedIn, as well as the news and blog, on our new website launching August 11th, so it can be managed by InnerCircle Marketing.

The incredibly supportive team at InnerCircle Marketing & PR Group will handle all updates and communication moving forward. I will ensure that all those I am working with on projects have a way to contact me directly.

I’ll see you soon, more grounded, more whole, and even more on purpose.
