The Whole Way Home: Why I’m Walking a Different Path Now

I’ve been walking with God since I was a little girl.

I’ve always felt His nearness — in the wind, in the trees, in the ache for justice and the longing for peace. I’ve always known there was more to life than what I could see. That a divine presence was guiding me, loving me, sustaining me. And for that, I’ve always given God reverence.

But for many years, I walked in part of the truth — not the fullness of it.

I knew Jesus…

I admired Him. I loved His wisdom, His compassion, His authority. I wanted to understand His way.

But for about 15 years of being born again, I refused to worship Him as God.

I couldn’t fully grasp the mystery. I kept Him at arm’s length — respecting Him, even following His teachings in ways — but not bowing.

Because in my mind, worship belonged only to God. And I couldn’t reconcile how Jesus could be both Son and Savior — both messenger and Messiah.

So I lived in the in-between. Half-surrendered. Half-lit. Half-home.

But now… I get it.

Now, I see Jesus for who He truly is. The Word made flesh. The doorway, the shepherd, the lamb, the King. The One through whom we come home. There’s one sword of a verse in the Bible that says “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

— John 14:6 (KJV)

I no longer compartmentalize God and Christ. I see the fullness of the Trinity. And I no longer just walk with God — I follow Christ.

That revelation changed everything.

It changed how I see myself. It changed how I serve others. It changed how I build. It changed what I lay down.

I’ve come through years of studying wellness, tantra, natural healing, and embodiment. I’ve earned certifications. Taught classes. Been recognized. Built brands. Helped people return to themselves. And I still honor all of that.

But now, it’s different.

Now I understand: Healing isn’t the destination. Wholeness in Christ is. He is what gives me the peace that makes no sense.

I’m not building a brand anymore.

I’m building an altar.

My offerings are not about performance.

They’re about presence.

Entrepreneurship is how we move God’s resources. And when we build with Heaven, commerce becomes Kingdom. Beauty becomes intercession. Structure becomes sanctuary.

This is not co-creation with the universe or some random entity. This is co-laboring with the Living God.

The whole way home is slower.

It’s sacred. It’s Spirit-led. It’s not trendy, but it’s timeless.

And it looks like trust. It looks like repentance. It looks like doing business from your knees. It looks like letting Jesus take the lead — not just in your heart, but in your calling. I’m focused on obedience.

So if you’ve noticed things shifting — this is why.

I’m not walking with a lot of titles anymore. I’m walking with Truth.

I’m not leading with aesthetics. I’m following with anointed oil.

And I’m not guiding people back to themselves. I’m guiding them the whole way home.

Back to the Father. Through the Son. Empowered by the Spirit.

This is the path. This is the presence. This is the whole way home.

🕊With reverence,
