the greatest lesson that was learned in 2024

jump and know he won’t let you fall

just jump

leave the fear on the ledge

leave your cares on the ledge

jump

take it all with you

the fear

the worries

the concerns

jump

you won’t regret it

you won’t understand it

if you trust in your father

oh man it will be the dive you needed

the blessings that are proceeded

jump

high into the abyss

jump and know that the air won’t be calm

you could do no wrong

when you jump

if you do

imagine the old you’ll leave behind

the old you could understand this crime

jump

give the old something to be proud of

all the times you were worried

all the people who never cared

they no longer matter

because your father was always there

 

breathe

aren’t you glad you can do that on your own

December 2023 was a time when you truly couldn’t do it alone

oh my have you come far

the air is sweeter and nothing seems too hard

breathe

take in all that you have gained from this leap

breathe out the lessons and let them be pavement at your feet

 

your father has blessed you with a new kind of air

now is the time to not look back

so don’t you dare

 

just imagine when your feet hits the ground

all the faith you have will be so sound

 

remember when this was a challenge for you

your hand was shaky

and you didn’t know what to do

you were scared to run

you were scared to stand but now you are different because of the great I am

 

oh how the sky never saw you coming

it laughed when it thought you hit the limit

you pushed even further

you can now go the distance

 

this lesson came hard and it was rough but my girl you don’t have to prove you are more than enough

 

so now is the time where we celebrate that you’re still here

It’s 365 days girl

time to scream IM STILL HERE

 

shame the devil and cast down each care

 

my GOD has smiled on me

and I feel so strong.

 

pop the bubbly and start the band

I have made it a whole year and I can’t wait to complete God’s plan

 

I doing the things I never dreamed

I am becoming the girl they’d never see

I have the support of those I love

 

My prayers were answered

and guess what?

God’s not done

 

I wonder what it will all look like in the end

God wants what I want

times one million and ten

 

His will be done

of this I am sure

praises for the new year

and all I will endure

I will be exalted in his name

any mountain I face will be put to shame

 

it’s going to be a good day because he says it will

I will be open and available, so whom shall I fear?

 

I used to dream of the future and what it’ll look like

but my faith is built different

so I’m ready for anything that might bite

 

The future has so much promise and blessing waiting on the other side

it’s like a chess game god is moving things to the side

 

I trust him so I will jump into the unknown

cheers to the leap of 2025

the risk of faith feels like home.
