Hey!
If you’ve been feeling a little weary, stuck, or like this year didn’t quite go how you hoped — you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. In fact, at the beginning of 2025 God gave me a ‘word’ for the year, and if I’m honest, I wanted to give it right back. That word?
Again.
‘Again’ can feel hard, overwhelming, tiring, vulnerable, frustrating and all sorts of other emotions. We live in a world that is constantly telling us we should be able to do something once, nail it, and then move on.
But faith isn’t like that.
Walking with Jesus isn’t like that.
As the Holy Spirit has been unfurling the fullness of ‘again’ with me this year, I’ve been learning the beauty and freedom of living a life of ‘again’ with Jesus. Again . . . and again!
Maybe God’s whispering the same thing to you? Not as a demand to try harder, but as an invitation to begin again with Him.
The great news is that the power of ‘again’ is available to us all regardless of what season we find ourselves in. And I believe that Jesus has a good ‘again’ for you, too. So, because I’m a fun kinda girl, I created a quiz for you (who doesn’t love a quiz?!) to help discern which season of ‘again’ you might need.
But it’s not just a quiz. It’s an invitation to discover where you can access the “power of again” to keep going, not in your strength, but in His. Maybe He’s calling you to:
Begin again: feeling stuck? Get a fresh refilling of His Spirit and grace for right here, right now.
Believe again: struggling to trust God? Dare to believe that your Heavenly Father is good and HAS good for you.
Grow again: striving to reach higher levels? It’s time to grow up a level in formation and maturity, encounter His presence in new ways, hear directly from His heart.
Go again: know what God is saying but fear’s getting in the way? Keep moving, with courage and boldness, into the fullness of all He’s calling you to.
I know how heavy life can feel sometimes, and I want you to know this: you’re not too late.
You’re not too far gone. God’s grace meets you exactly where you are, ready to lift you out of what’s keeping you stuck.
Each quiz result includes a gentle encouragement to help you take one honest step toward Him, again.
And because so many of us have been craving a gentle way to start fresh with God, I’ve been creating something new for January 2026: a Bible reading plan and journal called 31 Days of Beginning Again.
It’s a space to:
✨ reset your heart,
✨ reflect on His faithfulness, and
✨ return to the gentle rhythms of walking with Him day-by-day.
Each page is a small, sacred pause — Scripture, reflection, and space to respond — to help you start the year as you mean to go on: not with pressure, but with presence.
With a clear, day-by-day structure, each reading invites you to:
Grow: feast on Scripture and encounter God’s Word in a way that speaks directly to your life.
Glorify: notice God’s character, His faithfulness, and what He is revealing to you.
Grapple: journal honestly about your thoughts, struggles, and discoveries.
Gather: reflect in prayer, collating your thoughts to connect with God in conversation and surrender.
Go: take one intentional step toward living out what God is teaching you, whether in attitude, action, or relationship.
Packed with daily Bible readings, reflection prompts, prayer guidance, and space to respond to God’s Spirit, this journal isn’t just about filling pages, it’s about transformation. Over 31 days, you’ll explore God’s promises, wrestle with His truth, and step courageously into the new beginnings He has prepared for you.

Thanks for this! Struggling with this stage in my life. I'm so blessed, but so overwhelmed in my space. I needed this. 😥
I'm definitely a "Grow Again" personality. I need to make up lost time. My faith re-awakening only happened 10 months ago and I'm trying to read as many Substacks and books as possible to catch up. Yes it's an impossible task but I just have to learn more about my God and Savior!
