We Made It. Somehow

2025🚮 2026…God Abeg, We’re Ready.

If you’re reading this, you made it to the New Year. Happy New Year—and genuinely, it’s good to see you here.

In my last post, I talked about how I figured out how I wanted to move through life in 2025. At the time, it felt like the greatest decision I’d ever made, and I’m still grateful for it. But let’s be very clear: 2025 did not come gently. It came with struggles, hella struggles, actually. I won’t even lie. But thank God it’s done and dusted. We made it out scarred but alive, and sometimes that’s the real win.

I read a piece this morning where someone said, “2026 feels like something big is coming.”And whew, felt that in my chest. That’s honestly what I wanted this New Year post to be about. Not the usual “this year will be different” talk, or “this is my year” affirmations we recycle every January. This one genuinely feels… different.

It feels like something big is loading. Like getting to a boss level in a video game, the kind where you need extra XP, better armor, and a couple power-ups just to survive it. You already know it won’t be easy. There’s work to be done, lessons to learn, and stories to collect along the way. But you also know that at the end of it? The rewards are HEAVY.

That’s why this year hit me differently. I don’t usually do New Year’s resolutions. I’ve always been more of a “quietly identify what needs to change and move accordingly” type of person. But this time? I actually sat down, pulled out a pen and paper, wrote “MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS” at the top, and started listing things out. That’s how I knew—yeah, something big is coming.

There are plans I’ve made with myself. Intentions I’m taking seriously. Work I’m committing to, even when it gets uncomfortable. And honestly? I’m excited.

For my family too, there’s a lot stacked for us this year. I can feel it. So many testimonies lined up that people at church might start getting tired of seeing our faces. One Sunday it’s “thank God,” the next Sunday it’s another “thank God.” We’ll just keep standing up.

Of course, you already know I’ll take you along for the ride. The wins, the lessons, the behind-the-scenes moments, it’ll all be here. But for now, this is just me slowing down long enough to say this:

Happy New Year.

I hope this year meets you with clarity, growth, and blessings you didn’t even know to ask for.

And whatever big thing is coming for you? I hope you’re ready to receive it.

Here’s to 2026. 🥂
