Family… we’ve made it to the end.

And I need to pause, really pause, and look you in the eyes with my whole heart and say:

Thank you.

Thank you for walking with me through the last six months, months that held some of the deepest shattering, stretching, unmaking, and remaking I’ve ever experienced. This has been one of the most vulnerable seasons of my entire life, and yet also one of the holiest. And you, the MM family, chose to journey with me through every step: the tears, the questions, the silence, the searching, the healing, the revelation.

To say I’m grateful doesn’t even touch it.
I’m honored.
I’m humbled.
I’m forever changed by the love and the presence you brought to this space.

When this year began, I was engaged, planning a future, imagining a story, giving my whole heart to what I believed would be a lifelong covenant.
But God…

At the end of this year, I stand here whole in Christ—healed, anchored, clear, and genuinely ready for the kind of love that reflects His heart.

Not broken.
Not bitter.
Not defined by loss.
But transformed. Strengthened. Reborn.

I told God something bold the day my engagement ended:
“Lord, I do not want this breakup to define my entire year.
Make me a different person by December.”

And to the glory of God alone, that became my reality.
It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t painless.
But it was one of the best things that ever happened to me, because it became the doorway to the most intimate growth I’ve ever had with Jesus.

This series, Becoming, wasn’t just teaching—it was testimony. It was my real life, laid bare before God and before you. And today, we close it with a final lesson that has reshaped my understanding of love forever.

The Message

Love is more than feelings.
Love is more than butterflies.
Love is more than chemistry.

Chemistry can spark a moment. But covenant builds a lifetime.

The deepest love is not loud—it’s loyal.

The world teaches us contractual love:
“I’ll stay as long as you meet my expectations.”
“I’ll love you as long as you don’t disappoint me.”
“I’m here until it costs me something.”

But covenant love, the God kind of love, whispers:
“I choose you. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.”
“I’m committed to growth, not comfort.”
“Even when feelings fluctuate, my commitment remains.”

Covenant is what God shows us every single morning.
He chooses us again.
Fresh mercy, fresh love, fresh grace, daily.
Not because we earned it, but because covenant is who He is.

Contractual vs. Covenant Love

Stories of Couples Who Chose Love Through Hard Seasons

I think of the couple who survived the valley of financial loss—where pride had to die so unity could live.

I think of the couple who weathered infertility—who learned that choosing each other was the miracle they could hold onto.

I think of the couple who nearly walked away after betrayal—but through repentance, truth, accountability, and supernatural grace, they rebuilt a marriage stronger than anything they had before.

In each story, chemistry didn’t carry them.
Choice did.
Covenant did.
Daily love did.

What it Means to Wake Up and Choose Love

Covenant love says: “I don’t love you because every day is easy. I love you because God entrusted me with you.”

It means:

• • Choosing patience when irritations rise
• • Choosing grace when mistakes happen
• • Choosing humility when pride wants to speak
• • Choosing unity when offense knocks
• • Choosing forgiveness when hurt tries to linger
• • Choosing prayer when confusion comes
• • Choosing commitment when emotions fluctuate

Covenant doesn’t deny hardships—it outlasts them.

And Now… As We Close This Series

This finale isn’t just another teaching. This is a marker of what God has done. A testimony of His mercy. A celebration of His faithfulness.

You watched me walk from heartbreak to healing, from disappointment to destiny, from broken expectations to divine alignment.

And now, like the verse says… His mercies truly have been new every morning.

Thank you for letting me be human.
Thank you for letting me be honest.
Thank you for letting me grow publicly.
Thank you for letting me become.

And MM family, thank you for trusting me with your hearts as I poured out mine.
This wasn’t just content.
This was covenant.
This was community.
This was sacred.

We’ve reached the end of this series, but not the end of the journey. Because Becoming never stops. And the God who carried us through this year will carry us into every beautiful chapter ahead.
