Gail, thank you for fiercely holding space and for the powerful reminder that miracles often storm in without beauty, but they do arrive nonetheless. That truth resonated deeply within my soul. I am profoundly grateful for your steadfast witness and piercing wisdom. We are truly navigating through tumultuous times, but I’m determined to keep my hands open, ready to embrace whatever comes.

Please give yourself time to grieve and mourn the loss. Also free writing has helped me immensely- I find that it helps to bring to the surface hidden messages. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Thank you, MEL. That reminder to embrace grief completely, instead of merely bulldozing through it, is exactly what I needed. I've been sitting on my patio, in silence, but you’re right: free writing shatters the barriers to a different dimension. There’s a raw truth entombed in the quiet that only the page can unearth. I am deeply grateful for your compassion and profound wisdom.

Dear God,

I ask you to touch Ms.Maine right where she is, do it for your faithful servant. Comfort her in the late night hour! We thank you God for lifting her head, for sustaining her, for providing for her. You saw what happened on that job. We know your justice is swift because you do not play about your children. Strengthen your daughter as she takes time to process. We request God that you open the right door at the right time for Ms. Maine to reenter the workforce. We expect you to right the wrongs for the apologies that don’t come. Lord we know you are able to mend the broken hearted because you said in your word that you bind up their wounds. We ask that you divinely mend Ms. Maines wounds and shower her in your unconditional love. I pray she finds divine rest for her soul in the safety of your arms everyday. It’s is so, amen.

Praise God!! Thank you Jesus! We will live to see every promise of the Lord! Victory! Victory! Victory! These dry bones shall live, arise and go forth! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

You’re very welcome! I’ve been there and it hurts bad but even in the bad we experience it will all work out for our good. God is still moving even if we do not know the details of his divine plan for our life. 😌

Porchia… I felt every word of this prayer deep in my spirit. Thank you for standing in the gap and lifting me before the FATHER with such care and boldness. Your intercession wrapped around me like a warm covering.

Yes, GOD sees. HE knows. HE is just, and HE is near. Your prayer reminded me that I am not forgotten and that HIS justice, love, and perfect timing are already at work.

May the same grace, strength, and overflow you prayed for me return to you in abundance. You are a gift, girlie. Thank you for praying me through. It is so. Amen.

Thank you, Eric. I’ve been reminding myself that rest is a response and not a passive one. Breathing through the ache, and choosing not to rush the reset. Your words landed right where I needed them.

Thank you, Michelle. Hearing from someone who's fought through to the other side is like a lifeline. I'm gripping onto that hope with every ounce of strength, trying to trust the seismic shift, even as it threatens to tear everything apart. Your support means the world to me.

I’m glad I can encourage at this stage of life we can’t let them define us- that’s what I tell myself everyday💪🏾

I need to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude, truly. The overwhelming kindness, fervent prayers, unwavering encouragement, and constant presence you showed me after I revealed my layoff struck me to the core. It was a powerful reminder that true support doesn’t always scream; it reverberates deeply when it’s genuine.

Navigating this ordeal has been far from easy. Yet, your words have been my shield, dulling the sharpest edges of this experience. Some of you offered scripture like a lifeline. Others armed me with strategy as if preparing me for battle. Some simply stood by me, saying, "I'm with you," and that solidarity was nothing short of a fortress.

I see every heartfelt comment, every thoughtful check-in, every ounce of love. I carry them with me like armor as I stride forward, not just with hope blazing in my heart, but with unshakeable clarity.

Thank you for transforming this transition from a tale of loss into a powerful path of alignment.
