Dear Diary,


I got exactly what I asked for. And now? Whew.


I don’t know why I thought receiving a blessing meant coasting. I thought that when God answered my prayers, everything would just flow, be smooth, feel light. But instead, I got resistance. Work. Discipline. And if I’m being real? I started side-eyeing the blessing itself—like maybe I wasn’t supposed to have this?


But I had to check myself. Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not meant. Just because the weight is heavier than I expected doesn’t mean it’s not mine to carry.


In this episode, I’m talking about:

✔️ Why we second-guess what we once prayed for

✔️ The real reason blessings don’t always feel like blessings

✔️ How to stop running from the responsibility of answered prayers

✔️ What it really means when things feel “too hard”


If you’ve ever felt like giving up on the very thing you once begged God for… this one’s for you.
