🎄✨ Welcome to Day 12 of our 12 Days of Christmas Tips & Tricks!
As we close out this series and the entire year of 2024, my heart overflows with gratitude and faith. The holiday season offers us a chance to pause, reflect, and remember the true meaning of Christmas. It’s a time of renewal—for our spirits, our families, and our businesses.
I want to take this opportunity to celebrate the blessings of this year, honor the reason for this season, and express my deepest gratitude to those who have walked this journey with me.
The Reason for the Season
First and foremost, I want to honor the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ. Over 2,000 years ago, God sent His only Son to earth as a baby born in a manger. Humble and unassuming, yet destined to change the world forever. Luke 2:11 reminds us:
“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.”
This story of redemption and hope is the foundation of everything we do. At 8:28 Management, we strive to use the gifts God has given us to serve others and glorify Him. Just as the wise men brought gifts to honor Jesus, we bring our talents to those we serve, knowing that our ultimate purpose is to build His kingdom.
Gratitude for My Support System
To My Husband:This past year, I experienced a season of personal struggle that led me to the Regeneration program. Through it all, my husband has been my rock. He’s wiped my tears, encouraged me to press on, and reminded me of my worth when I doubted myself. His unwavering support has made it possible for me to step boldly into my calling. Because of him, I’m able to dream bigger and work harder, knowing I’m not walking this path alone. He’s not only an incredible partner but also a devoted father to our girls, and I thank God every day for his love and leadership.
To My Spiritual Leaders:I’ve learned so much about God and His word this year, thanks to the incredible spiritual leaders who have poured into my life. Your teachings, prayers, and encouragement have been a lifeline. You’ve helped me build a faith that is strong and unshakable, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.
To Kim, My Partner:Kim, your unwavering belief in me has been transformative. You’re my biggest cheerleader, and your encouragement pushes me to achieve more than I ever thought possible. This year has been a whirlwind, and I couldn’t imagine navigating it without you by my side. Thank you for your partnership, your friendship, and your faith.
To Megan Unsworth and the She Is Wealthy Mastermind:Joining this mastermind has been one of the most impactful decisions of my life. Megan, your vision and dedication to building God’s kingdom through empowering women have been a beacon of hope and inspiration. To my mastermind sisters, your encouragement and wisdom have ignited a fire within me to pursue excellence in all that I do. I’ve been blessed to learn, grow, and transform alongside you.
To the Emerging Leaders I’ve Had the Privilege to Teach:Leading a group of women through a servant-hearted leadership series has been one of my greatest joys. Seeing their growth and dedication has inspired me to keep going, even during the busiest seasons of life. To know that I’ve played a role in their journey is a blessing I will always cherish.
To My Family:To my four daughters and extended family—thank you for your love and resilience. The holidays are bittersweet without my mom and grandmother, but I choose to focus on hope and gratitude. Despite the challenges, our family is filled with love and memories that sustain us. I am so proud of my girls and the women they are becoming.
