Yesterday morning, after dropping my son off at early morning band practice, while driving on the way back home, I chose to start the day intentionally. Everything before that moment had been part of our normal rhythm—oatmeal and sausage for breakfast, lunch packed, the kitchen reset, and my youngest given her chores for the day
Driving alone in those early morning hours is one of the spaces I use to set intention for the day. I do it with prayer, or gratitude, as some like to call it. My heart is fullest in those early morning hours, because from the moment I open my eyes, I'm truly grateful and excited for the opportunities that await me on that day. Every day is full of opportunities to shape our day as we see fit. Whether we engage the day by planting the seeds for tomorrow, or we are enjoying the fruits of what we did yesterday, the day is ours to own.
Carpe Diem! Seize the day, SistahGirl!
A Vision for the Household
I carry a vision for my family—one rooted in wholeness, new experiences, joy, and freedom. As the head of my household, I understand that vision must be realized through me. That doesn’t burden me—it excites me.
When I picture where we’re headed—the vacations, the laughter, the late-night talks and shared goals, I get excited for the newness of it all. SistahGirl, if you don't have a vision for your family, get one! It will ground you. It will give you something to build toward on even the most challenging days.
Prayer, Alignment, and a Willing Heart
So, back to my moment of prayer, driving alone in the car. I'm not going to share the entire prayer, just a single line.
Lord, I open my heart up and align myself with you this morning to receive all that I need and all that I want. You've set the universe in motion, and you've said not our will but your will. And your will is that we be in good health and prosper. I desire good health, and I desire to prosper.
SistahGirl, we always say "God has already done the work"—and He has. But here's the part we sometimes overlook: the work of God was the creation of opportunity. Every new day is an invitation to engage with that divine opportunity—to lean into the rhythms that create health, well-being, peace, and purpose. The world is in motion. Doors have been opened. Opportunities are present.
A Word of Caution
You can't chant your way into change if your heart isn't in it. You can't manifest what you're not willing to move toward. And you certainly can't expect transformation if you're disconnected from the One who transforms.
Your health, your wholeness, your success—whatever that looks like for you and your family—isn't going to fall into your lap because you spoke or affirmed your desires daily at a certain time. No, visions and dreams and goals are nurtured through daily decisions, daily obedience, and daily showing up.
The Invitation Is Already Open
God has already done the work. He has created the opportunity. The provision, the wisdom, the healing, the open doors—they already exist. He’s not waiting to act. He’s waiting for you to show up. He’s waiting to walk with you as you build. To stand with you in your effort. To celebrate the vision as it comes alive through your hands. He’s not watching from a distance. He wants to be in the midst of your movement and in your momentum.
Alignment is not striving. It’s not about doing more to prove yourself. It’s about positioning your life to receive what’s already been promised. It’s about showing up every day—spiritually, emotionally, physically—and partnering with Heaven in real time.
Intentional alignment births change, not empty repetition.
So SistahGirl,
Do you have a vision for your family? Are your daily rhythms aligned with that vision, or are you stuck in repetition without direction? I’d love to hear how you’re showing up with intention this week. Leave a comment or share this post with a sister who needs to be reminded.
