Speak Life Over Your Year: 2026 Is Yours to Claim

As we step into January 5, 2026, I want to speak directly to the heart of anyone who may be feeling the weight of the new year already. For some, the excitement fades quickly. The “new year, new me” energy doesn’t always last, and the new year blues can quietly creep in. But I want you to know this truth today: you have more power than you realize.

The enemy desires to rob, kill, steal, and destroy, especially at the beginning of a new season. He works through discouragement, negative thoughts, fear, doubt, and distraction. But God has already given us authority, and that authority begins with the words that come out of our mouths.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

What you speak, you create. What you declare, you invite. What you consistently say, you begin to believe. This is why it is so important to guard your words and speak life over your year. We must learn how to speak it until we see it, declare it until it is established, and believe God even when circumstances don’t yet reflect the promise.

The Word of God teaches us to speak those things that are not as though they are. That means you don’t wait until everything looks perfect to believe. You don’t wait until everything is aligned to declare victory. You speak faith now. You speak peace now. You speak healing now. You speak abundance now. You speak clarity now.

And just as important as what you speak is who you allow around you.

If there are people in your circle who are not feeding you positive words, not building your faith, not encouraging your growth, and not helping you grow spiritually, this is your season to release. Release the conversations that drain you. Release the connections that keep you stuck. Release the voices that speak doubt instead of destiny.

This is not about bitterness. This is about boundaries.

Let go and let God have His way. Some relationships were never meant to go into your next season. They were hindering your growth, delaying your healing, and interfering with your walk with God. And that ends now.

2026 is not about proving anything to anyone else. This year is about you. Your healing. Your growth. Your peace. Your faith. Your obedience. Your purpose.

This is the year to protect your mind, guard your heart, and speak life over every area of your life. Don’t allow negative thoughts to settle. Don’t agree with discouragement. Don’t partner with fear. Replace every lie with truth. Replace every doubt with faith. Replace every negative word with a declaration rooted in God’s promises.

Make 2026 the year you finally choose you. Choose your peace. Choose your growth. Choose your healing. Choose your relationship with God above all else.

Speak it. Declare it. Believe it.

And watch God establish it.

With love & gratitude

What Do You Want This Year to Look Like? Let Wisdom Lead the Way

As we step into this new year, one question has been sitting with me deeply:
What do you want your year to look like?

Not just what you want to accomplish, but how you want to live. How you want to respond. How you want to grow. How you want to walk through this year with clarity, peace, and confidence.

That’s why wisdom matters so much.

Wisdom has a way of shaping a year before the year shapes us. It influences our decisions, our mindset, our relationships, and the direction we take. Wisdom doesn’t rush. It doesn’t react emotionally. It listens, discerns, and aligns with God’s truth.

This is exactly why I chose to start the year with the Proverbs 31 Day Wisdom Challenge.

These days in Proverbs have already been such a blessing. They’ve been grounding, eye-opening, and empowering. The Word has a way of realigning your heart and sharpening your focus when you allow it to lead. Wisdom reminds us to pause, to seek God first, and to move intentionally instead of impulsively.

When you begin your year with God’s Word, you’re not just reading scripture you’re building a foundation. You’re allowing wisdom to guide your thoughts, your choices, and your steps. You’re setting the tone for a year led by faith instead of fear, clarity instead of confusion, and purpose instead of pressure.

If you’re asking God for direction this year…
If you desire peace in your decisions…
If you want to grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally…
Wisdom will empower every area of your life.

This challenge isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. Showing up daily, opening God’s Word, and allowing it to shape how you live. And the beautiful thing is, you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

If you feel led to join us, you can click the link in the banner at the top of my website to join the 31 Day Proverbs Wisdom Challenge. When you join, you’ll receive daily emails to walk with you through the journey, stay encouraged, and remain consistent in the Word.

This year is full of possibility. And when wisdom leads, your year has the potential to be powerful, intentional, and deeply rooted in God.

Let wisdom guide you. Let the Word anchor you. Let this year be shaped by purpose.

Starting the Year With God: Why Wisdom Is My First Priority

As a new year approaches, I’ve been reflecting deeply on how I want to begin it. Not rushed. Not overwhelmed. Not led by pressure or fear. But grounded. Anchored. Covered. I’ve learned that how you start a year matters just as much as how you finish it, and for me, the foundation has to be God.

Starting the year with God brings clarity before confusion, peace before pressure, and wisdom before decision-making. Life moves fast, responsibilities pile up quickly, and if we’re not careful, we can find ourselves reacting instead of being led. When God comes first, everything else begins to fall into alignment.

The Bible tells us, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). That verse reminds me that priorities matter. When God is first, we don’t have to chase everything else. We learn to move with intention instead of anxiety.

This is why I’m starting the year with the Proverbs 31 Day Wisdom Challenge.

Proverbs is a book filled with instruction, insight, and practical wisdom for everyday life. It speaks to our decisions, our relationships, our finances, our words, our character, and our faith. Wisdom isn’t just about knowledge, it’s about knowing how to live, how to respond, and how to walk uprightly even when life feels uncertain.

The Bible also says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom” (Proverbs 4:7). That scripture alone sets the tone for why this challenge matters so much to me. I don’t just want motivation for the new year. I want direction. I don’t just want excitement. I want discernment. I don’t just want to start strong. I want to stay rooted.

Beginning the year in Proverbs allows us to slow down and let God shape our mindset before the year begins shaping us. It helps us hear God’s voice clearly, sharpen our spiritual discernment, and build a strong inner foundation that carries us through the highs and lows of the year ahead.

This challenge isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency. It’s about showing up daily, opening God’s Word, and allowing wisdom to guide your steps. It’s about building a habit of seeking God first, not last.

If you’re feeling called to start the year differently, more intentionally, and more spiritually grounded, this journey is for you. If you want clarity for your decisions, peace in your spirit, and wisdom for what lies ahead, I invite you to join me.

We are starting the year together, rooted in God’s Word, growing in wisdom, and walking into the new year with purpose and direction. This isn’t just a challenge. It’s a commitment to begin the year led by God and strengthened by His truth.

I believe that when we start with God, we finish stronger than we imagined.

Trusting God in the Waiting: When You’re Doing All You Can and Still Standing

As 2026 approaches, just a few days away, I find myself in a season of waiting. A place I didn’t plan to be in, but one I’m learning to walk through with faith. I don’t have a job right now. Some people don’t know the full backstory, but I was let go from my job on October 17 of this year. Since October, I’ve been navigating uncertainty, figuring things out one day at a time, and trusting God through a process I never expected.

I’ve applied for jobs. I’ve updated my resume. I’ve searched high and low, sending applications everywhere I could. But this season has been slow, and the silence has been loud. No callbacks. No emails. No clear direction yet. And if I’m being honest, it’s been rough.

I’m not going to pretend this is easy.

There are moments where it feels heavy, where I’m just holding my head above water, trying to figure out how everything is going to work out. Bills still exist. Responsibilities don’t pause. Life keeps moving even when answers feel delayed. There are days when I realize there’s nothing else I can do but surrender.

Yet even in this, I’m choosing to remain faithful. I’m choosing peace. I’m choosing to stay calm in the middle of the storm. Not because I have all the answers, but because I serve a God who does. A God who sits high and looks low. A God who sees what I cannot see and knows what I do not know.

Scripture reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). This season has taught me that I cannot fix everything. I cannot control the timing. I cannot force doors to open. All I can do is trust God through the process.

That trust doesn’t mean the days are perfect. It doesn’t mean fear never tries to creep in. It doesn’t mean I don’t have moments where I feel tired or uncertain. It means that even when things feel shaky, I am anchored. It means reminding myself daily that God is still good, even when life feels hard.

If you’re reading this and you’re in a tough season, I want you to know you’re not alone. You may be doing everything you know how to do and still waiting. Still praying. Still believing. Still hoping. Still trusting. And that doesn’t make you weak. That makes you faithful.

The Bible tells us, “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6). What God started, He will finish. What feels delayed is not denied. What feels heavy is not permanent.

This season will not last forever. This moment will pass. This chapter is not the end of your story.

I don’t know exactly how everything will work out yet, but I know who I trust. And that is enough.

Sitting With God Before the World Wakes Up

It’s 7:00 AM on a Saturday morning. I’ve been awake since about 6:00 AM, thinking, praying, and talking with the Lord. The house is quiet, the world is still, and there’s something sacred about this moment. December 20. Before the noise, before the demands, before the distractions, I’m sitting with God.

There’s a lot on my heart.

As 2026 approaches faster than we realize, I feel a deep stirring in my spirit. Not fear, not pressure, but responsibility. A holy awareness that my time, my obedience, and my yes matters. I don’t just want to enter 2026. I want to walk into it boldly, unapologetically, and equipped.

This morning isn’t about productivity. It’s about positioning. Positioning my heart, my obedience, and my life where God can lead me clearly. Scripture reminds us, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Stillness creates clarity, and clarity births direction. I don’t want to drift into another year. I want to be intentional with God, intentional with my time on earth, and intentional with the work He’s calling me to do.

There is something powerful about writing. God didn’t tell us to think the vision, He told us to write it. “Write the vision and make it plain, so that he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk 2:2). Writing slows us down long enough to hear God clearly. Journaling gives shape to what has been stirring quietly in our spirit. As I write, I find myself asking honest questions. Where is God leading me next? Who am I being called to serve? What must I release to make room for what’s coming? How can my obedience bless not just me, but others?

Time is sacred, and stewardship matters. “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). I don’t want to waste days scrolling past my purpose or busying myself away from God’s plan. I want my work, my creations, my obedience, and my journaling to align with heaven. This season isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters most.

Yes, I want to create. Yes, I want to build. Yes, I want to impact lives. But above all, I want what I create to be God-breathed. “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established” (Proverbs 16:3). Every journal, every word, every product, every idea, I want it to point someone back to God. To healing, to clarity, to hope. This is bigger than business. This is about legacy.

If you’re reading this and you feel that same stirring, pause for a moment. Ask God to help you not rush into what’s next without Him. Ask Him to teach you to sit, to listen, to write, and to obey. Ask Him to order your steps, clarify your vision, and align your heart with His will as you prepare for the next season.

This early morning moment matters to me. This stillness matters. This obedience matters. And if you’re feeling the pull to slow down, to write, to pray, to plan, and to prepare, know that it’s not by accident. God is speaking. The question is, are we willing to listen and then write?

Birthing What God Placed in My Heart

It is December 19th, just before noon, and I felt led to pause and write from my heart.

Today, I am preparing to host my first-ever Birth Your Journal in 30 Minutes class, and I am truly filled with gratitude. I’m excited not just about the training itself but about the opportunity to help someone else birth what God has already placed inside of them.

There is something deeply meaningful about sharing what God entrusts to us. It’s a blessing to take what I’ve learned over the years the lessons, the growth, the faith and pour it into others. Helping someone bring their vision to life, especially when it’s something God has been whispering to their heart, is a gift I do not take lightly.

This is one of the many ways we share God’s love through our gifts, our obedience, and our willingness to serve. When we open our hands and say yes, God does the rest.

I also want to be transparent. Back in October, I lost my job. And yet, even in that moment, I can honestly say I have never gone without. God has sustained me every step of the way. He has continued to provide, to cover, and to remind me that my source has always been Him.

The Word says:

“I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”
— Psalm 37:25

This scripture is not just something I read it is something I am living.

Through these months, God has shown Himself faithful in ways that continue to humble me. I am grateful beyond words.

I am also deeply thankful for this community those who have prayed for me, supported me, believed in me, and stood with me through tough seasons. Your encouragement has carried me more than you know.

This moment is more than preparation for a class.

It is a testimony.
It is obedience.
It is gratitude in motion.

As I continue this journey, I do so with thanksgiving trusting God, honoring His timing, and embracing the power of the pen and the purpose behind every word written.

With a grateful heart,
Coach Keisha 🙌🏾

Words from my journal….

There are moments when everything is quiet when the noise of the world fades and your heart finally has room to speak. This is one of those moments.

Tonight, I opened my journal not to teach, not to plan, and not to perform but simply to be present. What poured onto the page were honest words, unfiltered thoughts, and gentle reminders that clarity often comes when we allow ourselves to slow down.

Journaling has been my sacred space. It’s where I’ve processed pain, asked hard questions, written prayers, and found peace when life felt overwhelming. It’s where God has met me in moments when I didn’t have the words to say out loud.

Some pages hold gratitude.
Some hold tears.
Some hold unanswered prayers.
All of them hold truth.

Journaling gives us permission to release what we’ve been carrying in silence. It allows us to hear ourselves clearly and invites God into the conversation. On the page, confusion softens. Healing begins. Direction unfolds.

You don’t need perfect words to journal.
You don’t need a plan.
You just need willingness.

If you’ve been feeling heavy, uncertain, or disconnected, consider this your invitation to write. Not for clarity all at once but for honesty in this moment.

Sometimes the breakthrough doesn’t come from doing more.
Sometimes it comes from writing what’s already within you.

Tonight, my journal reminded me of this:

Your story matters.
Your voice matters.
And clarity often begins with a single page.

““Write the vision and make it plain.”
— Habakkuk 2:2”
