Oooh—this is a season to shed.💨🌿🌿
Flashback to Nov. 2023 ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I got an urge to read a Bible Story.
The one where God shed Gideon’s army . . .
The drop was dramatic too.
They went from 32,000 -> to -> 10,000 to -> 300. 
And guess what?
The 300 fought and won.
Check Judges 7 for the story.
Here’s a word for you:
Brace yourself for some shedding.
Don’t be surprised if people start fading away or if stragglers exit stage left.
🚨 Stragglers = people that don’t rock with you.
🚨 But they linger (around) hoping for perks from the connection.
🚨 The bottom line is stragglers hitchhike their way to success by using people.
Don’t be shocked when some resources seem to dry up. 📦 Think of it like rearranging a space—some stuff goes out to make room. 🛍️🛒
Not to mention, sometimes God has to remove to prove (See Judges 7:2-8 😮💨 Then focus on verse 2).
A few things to expect.
Expect your appetite to evolve.
• You’ll find new things to appreciate.
Expect some things to break.
• You may NOT need to replace what breaks pronto or even replace it at all.
Expect some things to stop working.
• You may need to look in a new direction for answers and solutions.
• Or you may need to look in the same direction as before.
MY POINT: Be humble enough to open your heart to new possibilities.
To wrap this up . . .
Above all, know the SEASON TO SHED is also a season to GROW + GLOW up!
The shed season is guiding you to something divine. 🥹🫰🏽💜
And the shed season can unlock the EXTRAORDINARY in your life.
Well, that’s all for now. Be strong in your surrender to God’s will. As we learned in Gideon’s story — what God does with the ‘little’ is undeniable proof of His power.
