They say April showers bring May flowers, and this year, I’ve felt every drop.
April was heavy—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It poured in ways I didn’t expect. Some days felt like survival mode, and others were filled with silent prayers and deep breaths. But even in the storm, I knew something was being watered. Something in me was being prepared to bloom.
Now May is here. And with it comes a shift—not just in the weather, but in my spirit.
This month is deeply personal for me. It’s a time of reflection, healing, and growth. I’ve gone through so many changes lately—some painful, some necessary—and I’m learning to accept the things I cannot change. To stop wrestling with what was and start embracing what is.
I’m learning to forgive myself. To show up for myself. To sit with my feelings without letting them define me. Healing isn’t easy, and it doesn’t come with a timeline. But I know I’m getting stronger. Some days I fall victim to the “distraction”, then Im quickly reminded why choosing ME was the best thing I could do for my children.
May this month build me up- in the best way.
So here’s to this new season. To letting go and looking ahead. To trusting the process and welcoming the flowers that are finally starting to grow.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Dear God,
As I step into this new month, I pause to center myself in Your presence.
Thank You for the gift of another day, another chance to grow,
To heal, to love, and to become more of who You created me to be.
This May, lift up my spirit, cover my children, bless my home, keep your arms around my family as you guide us into a new journey.
Grant me clarity where I feel uncertain,
Strength where I feel weak,
And peace in the spaces I cannot control.
Let every challenge shape me, not shake me.
May Your light guide my decisions,
And may I find quiet joy in the little things each day.
Walk with me, stay close, and keep me open to grace.
Amen.
