Скачать или смотреть What my BIRTHDAY in a HURRICANE taught me | Life Lessons in Every Season (Weekly Vlog)

Life doesn’t always go as planned, and this birthday was no exception—celebrating in the middle of a storm (Hurricane Helene) taught me valuable lessons about waiting well and trusting God in every season. From rainstorms to beauty events, spa days to family time, I learned that storms don’t cancel joy—they deepen it. This vlog is a reflection on how life’s storms invite us to lean into God instead of distractions. 🌧️💕

Whether it’s through fun moments with friends, peaceful spa days, or making big decisions for my family, this birthday reminded me that success and satisfaction come from God alone—not from control or temporary comforts.

If you’re navigating your own storm right now, I hope this encourages you to trust God in the waiting. He’s working in every season, even when we don’t see it. Let’s show up for ourselves and each other, rain or shine. ✨
