Sunday Soul Food - Peace in the Chaos

Soul Reflection

Lately, a lot of things in my life don't make sense.
Some words don’t match people’s presence, and the air feels thick with misunderstanding and mixed intentions.

It's in these seasons that I'm reminded of something Jesus taught me - not everything needs to be decoded.
You don't have to understand every motive, every silence, or every shift happening around you. Your only job is to trust.

Unshakably. Quietly. Completely.

Because peace doesn't come from having all the answers - it comes from knowing the One who does.

When you put your faith in God, the noise loses its power. The storms don't stop, but they stop defining you. There's a stillness that settles deep within your spirit, the kind that doesn't make sense to the world, but it makes perfect sense to heaven.

I've learned that nothing holy is built without God coming first.
You can chase validation all day long, but it will never fill the space that's meant for divine peace.

The only place I’ve ever found true and lasting peace is in my relationship with Jesus. His presence has been my constant - steady, gentle, and overflowing with grace. He’s never left my side.

And honestly, I have to include my best friend and his wife in that, too. They’ve stood by me with the same kind of love that reflects His - patient, unwavering, and kind. Never once have they judged me for my flaws or turned away when I’ve fallen short. They’ve simply loved me through it all, challenging me to keep rising higher with every season.

The healed become the builders, beautiful souls.
And I encourage you to rise with me.

That kind of love brings peace you can't manufacture. It's not surface calm; it's soul-deep stillness.

Scripture Reflections

John 14:27 - Peace as a Gift

“I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”

The Greek word for peace, eirene, means an inward stillness independent of outward circumstances.
Jesus wasn't promising a calm life - He was promising calm within life.
His peace isn't the absence of chaos; it's the presence of Him.

Proverbs 3:5–6 - Trust When You Don’t Understand

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

You don't have to make sense of everything - make space for trust.
Even Jesus modeled this, resting in His Father's will while facing storms, betrayal, and the cross itself.

Isaiah 43:1–2 - God's Presence in Chaos

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.”

Peace doesn't come from avoiding the fire; it comes from knowing who walks with you through it.

Faith in Action - Journal Prompt

Where in your life right now do you feel confusion, tension, or uncertainty?
Pause and ask yourself: What would it look like to trust instead of decode? To rest instead of react?

Write down one area where you're choosing to hand the chaos back to God today.

Closing Whisper

The world may shake - but your peace doesn't have to.

Because the peace Jesus gives isn't fragile.
It's not dependent on perfect circumstances, clear answers, or ideal timing.
It's anchored in something unshakable: His presence.

When you carry His peace, you carry His power.
You walk through uncertainty with confidence - not because you know what's coming, but because you know Who’s coming with you.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, I can’t help but think of that scene from Half Baked when Brian quits his job, throws up his hands, and says, “Who’s coming with me, man? Who’s coming with me?” Then Jan quietly says, “I’m with you, Brian.”
It’s funny, but also profound - because that’s exactly what faith feels like sometimes. You step out not knowing who will walk with you, and then you realize… God’s already said, “I’m with you.”

So today, let go of the need to figure it all out.
Release the pressure to decode every confusing moment.
Instead, rest in this truth: God is with you. He sees you. He's holding you steady even when everything around you feels uncertain.

You don't need all the answers when you have the Answer-Giver.

Let His peace guard your heart.
Let it quiet the noise.
Let it remind you that no matter what shifts around you, the ground beneath your feet - your faith in Him - will never give way.

My faith isn't built on what makes sense - it's built on Who remains.
And that's Jesus. Always has been. Always will be.

Breathe deep. Trust fully. Walk boldly.
The chaos doesn't get the final word. He does.

May you find rest in His presence today, not because everything is resolved, but because He is faithful.

Peace over you, beautiful soul. 🤍

Every word is a whisper of intention, carved in stillness and light.
And if the enemy wants to test that light, let him try.
I’ve walked through worse fires and came out shining.
My peace is my baseline, and I protect it like it’s the hill I’ll die on -
because it is.

Your Journey Starts Here

Many have asked during my TikTok Lives how to begin their personal or spiritual journey. So far, I've explored and mapped the first three stages for those seeking alignment - the awakening, the journey inward, and the path forward.

These stages have brought profound clarity, and I'm grateful to share what I've discovered along the way.

There are still a few details unfolding, but trust that everything is aligning in its own time - and you'll be the first to know when it's ready.

Remember, this is love being transmuted into art; growth takes time, and you can't rush an actual journey, beautiful souls. In due time, all the right energy falls into place. Just have faith.
