I woke up the other day feeling two things at the same time: hopeful and discouraged.

I believe in what I’m building… but that day, I felt worn out. Tired of trying so hard. Tired of being strong. Tired of holding it all together in ways no one else sees.

And that’s been the theme lately—this strange in-between where I know I’m making progress, but it doesn’t always feel like it. I trust that everything I’ve prayed for is already on the way… but I still have days when my faith feels thin.

Maybe you can relate.

Maybe you’re the kind of person who keeps showing up too—for your healing, your people, your purpose—even when you’re running on empty.

If that’s you… this message is for both of us.

Because instead of pushing past how I felt, I sat with it. I wrote from the middle of it, not the other side.

This message came through after I sat with my own questions. My own exhaustion. My own resistance to keep going.

What you’re about to read isn’t advice—it’s a message I received while walking through my own process. Because that’s how I write these Truth Notes. I move through the dark first. I wrestle. I listen. I pray. And then I share what comes.

So if this finds you in the middle of something hard, you’re not alone in it.

You keep showing up.
Quietly. Consistently.
Even when no one sees you.
Even when you’re not sure it’s working.

And that’s holy.

There’s something sacred about choosing to stay present with your life,
not just when it’s exciting or clear,
but when it’s messy, slow, or full of doubt.

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re carrying more than most people know.
And still, you show up.

That’s not weakness. That’s devotion.

You’ve been letting go of who you were taught to be.
Peeling back the layers.
Saying no when it costs you.
Saying yes to a path that doesn’t always make sense on paper,
but feels right in your gut.

And I know you’re tired.
Tired of being strong.
Tired of holding space for everyone else.
Tired of trying to do it “right” all the time.

This next season isn’t asking for your performance.
It’s asking for your presence.

You don’t need to prove yourself anymore.
You don’t need to push through everything just to survive.

This is the season of receiving.
Rest. Clarity. Support. Peace.
The version of you that doesn’t hustle to be loved.

And if everything feels slower than you expected, let it.

You’re not being punished.
You’re being prepared.

When the door opens, because it will,
you won’t walk through it out of desperation.
You’ll walk through it whole.
Rooted. Ready. Real.

Every time you choose rest over guilt,
you reclaim your body.
Every time you speak up when it would be easier to stay quiet,
you reclaim your voice.
Every time you stay soft in a world that hardens people,
you reclaim your soul.

You haven’t missed your moment.
You are learning how to meet it as your full self.

And that’s everything.

Know that I’ll be sharing more like it right here.

Each week inside Truth Notes,
I’ll be offering what Spirit gives me.
Reflections from my own process.
Words meant to hold you steady
when life feels like too much.

Not content. Not performance.
But something real.

Messages to remind you that you're not alone.
A place to come back to when you forget who you are.

I’ll keep showing up here, just like you do.
And I’m grateful to be walking with you.

With love,
Jasmine
