Here’s to the woman I am becoming in 2026.
Not a woman striving to reinvent herself, but a woman surrendered to the gentle, faithful work of God. A woman learning to take brave steps, not driven by fear or proving, but by trust. A woman discovering that loving herself well is not selfish, it is stewardship of the life God has entrusted to her.
May I take more risks, not reckless ones, but brave, prayerful steps that trust God beyond comfort. May I love myself fiercely, with the same compassion I so freely pour out for others, honouring the work God has already begun within me.
I am learning to surround myself with people who lift my spirit, speak truth in love, walk with me in kindness and who celebrate her presence rather than merely tolerate it. I am choosing to celebrate both the small wins and the great victories, recognising that each step forward is a testament to grace at work.
May I recognise that a healthy community is a gift, not a luxury, and that I am worthy of spaces where my heart can breathe.
May I celebrate every small and big win along the way, noticing progress instead of perfection. May gratitude mark my days, even when the journey feels slow, trusting that faithfulness compounds quietly over time.
May I keep growing and learning, remaining teachable without shrinking, curious without striving. May I step into my God-given authority with humility and confidence, no longer apologising for the strength God placed within me. May I rise, rooted in truth, clothed in grace, and led by the Holy Spirit.
📖 "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." — Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
This year is not about rushing ahead. It is about growing deep roots. It is about learning, unlearning, and allowing God to lead me into the fullness of who He has always known me to be. I am stepping into strength that flows from Him, power shaped by humility, and confidence anchored in Christ.
📖 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." — Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)
I am not becoming by my own effort alone. I am being formed by the hands of a faithful Father who wastes nothing and redeems every season.

Father God, thank You for the work You have already begun in me. I place this year into Your hands, trusting Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your loving guidance. Teach me to walk bravely, to love well, and to rest securely in who You say I am. Shape me gently and lead me faithfully as I step into all You have prepared.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
