Theive's don't break into empty houses.

I let the enemy win for a MIN.

This past weekend, after what should have been a beautiful time at the Perfectly Made retreat, I found myself feeling defeated. Certain situations and behaviors left me questioning everything. I walked away heavy-hearted, wondering if I even wanted to keep going.

The enemy wasted no time. He whispered into my heart, "Why do you even bother?" He tried to plant lies about my identity, making me question if I was really called to this work. "You’re not enough. No one cares. You’re wasting your time." For a moment, I believed him. I let the weight of his words press me down, and I felt crushed.**

But then I remembered: the enemy doesn’t attack what isn’t a threat.

I realized that the very reason I felt this battle so intensely is because what we’re doing here is powerful. When women gather to heal, to grow, to break generational chains — the enemy trembles. He tries to stop it the only way he knows how: through doubt, discouragement, and fear.

But not this time.

I am made for this. God has placed this calling on my heart, and no amount of lies or spiritual attack will take that away. The retreats aren’t just weekends away — they are places where women reclaim their worth, rediscover their strength, and remember who they are in Christ.

If you’ve ever felt the sting of defeat or found yourself questioning your purpose, let me remind you: the enemy only fights what he fears. Stand firm. Push through. You were created for a purpose, and nothing can take that away.

I’m not done. I’m just getting started!
