@borjana_devanique: Over the past year, I prioritized myself over everything. My health tanking with uncertainty reminded me that life is too precious to be taken for granted — and the show will go on without you. I spent so much of my life grinding. Working two jobs. Going to school. Freelancing on the side just to get ahead. I literally worked myself into the ground. And at what cost? I'm 40 years old. And I know God isn't finished with me yet. But He did have to sit me down — because I ignored every sign and warning to slow down. Here's what I've learned: We can't ask God for blessings and then keep doing whatever we want. In order to receive what He's promised, we have to heed the warnings. Listen to His instructions. Trust the process even when it doesn't make sense. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. In all your ways obey him. Then he will make your paths smooth and straight. Don't be wise in your own eyes. Have respect for the Lord and avoid evil. That will bring health to your body. It will make your bones strong." — Proverbs 3:5-8 NIRV 💜 Drop a 🙏🏾 if God had to sit you down before you'd listen. #chronicillnesswarrior #faithoverfear #40andfabulous #HealingJourney #godsgotme
