MAY NEWSLETTER: Created, on purpose!
Happy May, RG Family —
So I have a question for you this month: Do you know what you were created for?
Well, let me be the first to tell you — you were created on purpose and for a purpose that is bigger than you could ever imagine. Going into the week, I could feel a shift coming. Little did I know, April 28th would confirm it through a person I had just recently met.
Somewhere along the way in starting this business, I began to lose confidence. Things that used to come naturally to me — it felt like I forgot how to do them. I forgot how to talk to people, network — you name it. It felt like an insecurity sensory overload. I was filled with negative thoughts, negative self-talk, jealousy, doubt, worry, anxiousness, and isolation. Things I thought I was healing from and moving beyond seemed to be happening all over again.
I read a devotional this week that said, “But here’s the shift: awareness is the beginning of freedom.” Man — that blessed me.
I wasn’t going back to the old me. I was just now becoming aware of me. That awareness is so freeing, because it doesn’t mean I’m perfect — it means I can surrender where I lack. I can surrender when I’m feeling insecure or lacking confidence, and cover my thoughts and mind with the Word of God.
Friends, I hope you know the Lord created you perfectly the way you are — even with all you may feel like you're carrying. I encourage you to lighten your load by surrendering what we were never meant to carry.
As I step into a new month, I can boldly say: I am aware of who I am and who I was created to be — on purpose, for His glory. And that, my friends, is freeing. I pray that it is for you, too.

Prayer for the Month of May: Friends, I pray this month you see yourself directly through the lens and eyes of a God who loves you! He created you, formed you — intentionally — for His purpose and plan for your life. I thank God for each of you. I pray this month is full of His presence and that you see His hand at work in every part of your life. You are so loved. Thank you, Jesus, for keeping us — saving us daily, weekly, and monthly. As long as we are breathing, we have a reason to praise You! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
