Beautiful woman of God — you do not have to apologize for choosing yourself. Not when "choosing yourself" really means choosing your healing. Choosing your calling. Choosing obedience over opinions. You are not selfish. You are strategic. You decided that this season is about alignment — putting your faith first, your future first, your finances in order, your fitness in discipline, your mind at peace. And that is not arrogance. That is stewardship. You used to feel guilty for saying no. Now you understand that every "no" is protecting the "yes" God has over your life. You are not falling back — you are falling into position. While others are chasing attention, you are chasing anointing. While others are chasing validation, you are building vision. Pt1
