Friends ✨ Something new is brewing.
I’ve known for a while I was being led into a new season -
Lately I’ve been hard pressed to put everything down and just write.
In obedience to that nudge and as I walk this out, I find myself needing a place to put these truths and testimonies, so here we are :)
Welcome to my Live Journal.
A place to share my faith more regularly, without bombarding your Instagram feeds. I’m unsure what this will become but I hope it blesses your walk, and invite you to walk alongside me.
If you know me in any capacity or just follow along in curiosity -
Hi. I’m Yesenia.
It’s tough for me to describe myself, I’m many things, but I’ll try to paint you a picture.
I’m an eldest daughter, first granddaughter & for you Enneagram people - I’m a 8. A bold truth telling, Independant , Do-er. I love my people hard, I cannot stand injustice, I’m a fierce figure it out-er & constantly told I’m wise for my age. I’m a deep discerner, a protector, and I love to be told I can’t :) watch me.
God is funny though and he both softened and emboldened me when he sent me to marry a first born son, who matched my energy. A certified cycle breaker at 20 years old with big dreams and a work ethic to match. His dreams took our young family to the NFL for 7 season where he was able to walk out his faith publicly, serve, and reach incredible heights in his career - every dream box he set out to achieve , he accomplished in that time. A wild ride of faith I’m still unpacking.
At his side I’ve been blessed to serve our family using every single ounce of those attributes along this ride. My absolute joy is being able to disciple our 3 children. I focused on my home as my mission field for years, even homeschooling for a while as needed, and those within my walls knew my heart but I kept that circle small for a very long time.
Once upon a forever ago I felt the nudge to write about motherhood, the demands of that season of life quenched that spark, but I’d be lying if I said this doesn't feel like that same ember revived. I no longer have “Toddlers & Touchdowns” I have Teenagers & Hard Truth ;) yikes.
Anyway, the kids are big now.. and my duty to disciple them well also means the honesty to declare what I’ve walked, fallen to, & been rescued from.
So, In this space I shatter the Instagram highlight reel - To show you the seeds that were sown so long ago are now full blown fields of grace that I can do a much better job of lifting up.
This may not be my career or my thing, I’m not a pastor or a theologian by any means - but I am sure I am called to share the fruit and the depths of my faith to a broader audience.
So here goes nothin’.
Who knows for how long, maybe just for a season ..
