You’ve seen JBK on my blog/Insta before in my grace tee, which I bought ASAP since it was my word of the year for 2020. (Did you catch my word of the year for 2021 yesterday?) As soon as I saw this green version of the OG JESUS BE KNOWIN’ design, I knew I had to have it. I was trying not to buy stuff for myself, so I entered a contest to win it, and what do you know? I WON! (Jesus be knowin’.)
I wore this comfy sweatshirt the day after Christmas with Mother Shivaun’s sermon from Christmas Eve still fresh in my mine. This year wasn’t the Christmas we wanted, but perhaps it was the Christmas we needed, just like the first one.
The whole year wasn’t the year I wanted, but it was the year I needed.
I fully realize that this comes from a place of privilege that I had a safe home to come home to and regroup during my divorce, and for me to be able to stay here because of the pandemic. I was forced to slow down in a way that I’ve never had to before, and I think know that I’m a better person for it. I’m living more intentionally, setting myself up for success, and realizing things about myself and others to form healthier relationships.
I have been able to do things like consider grad school (I’m applying to get my Master of Science in Management from Catholic University), I’ve joined the community investment team at work, I’ve raised my credit score about 100 points, paid off my car, and I’m just about set up with everything I need when I move back to DC. It’s now looking like I might be able to do that in spring!
I know that folks have lost loved ones, jobs, and opportunities in a way that I have not. I know this year has been so hard on everyone and that I’m blessed to have been able to make progress in the way that I have. I tried to use this year to grown where I’ve been planted, and I hope that it shines through.
I’m wishing everyone a much better 2021, filled with hope and health.
