What a year this was… This year I went to places I’ve never been, but missed home more than ever. I had more fun than ever before, but I struggled to find rest. I saw the oceans of Mexico and hills of California, but my soul missed the GA pines. I met more renown people than I ever have, but I found healing in being down the road from my childhood buddies. I made more money than I ever have, but I spent more money than I ever have. I inspired thousands with my platforms, but I missed when barely anybody knew my name. I missed when I had privacy and anonymity. This year I dreamed. I laughed. I loved. I made memories I’ll never forget.…but I also lost. I failed. I cried. I was broken. I thanked God for blessings He gave, but also grew angry at Him for things He took away. Really what I learned this year is this: Life is full of dichotomies. It’s full of constant contradictions to remind us that the highs won’t ever satisfy us enough, and the lows are inevitable for us all. I’m learning that to be strong, is to know how to hold the tensions of two conflicting things. I’m learning that remaining steady, throughout life’s ebbs and flows, is what I really hope to see in myself. God is teaching me that holiness, is something really closely synonymous with this word: consistency. In Matthew 21, Jesus enters the temple and sees that it’s been turned into a marketplace. He famously overturns the merchants tables, driving them out. He doesn’t say, “we need to destroy the temple and rebuild it from scratch”. He just drives out the idols that shouldn’t be in His house. That’s how I feel this past year was for me, God removing things I allowed in that shouldn’t be there. For He gives, and He takes away...and yet, He is still good. Happy New Years y’all ❤️ #christian #2025recap #bigbrother #atlanta #photodump
