God Did HIS Big One in 2024: A Year of Purpose, Gratitude, and Growth

Looking back at 2024, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. It was the Year of the Dragon, and let me tell you—that dragon roared boldly all over my life and business. God moved in ways that left me in awe, opening supernatural doors and placing me in rooms and at tables that had me pinching myself, wondering, "Is this really my life?"

While the outside looked like a season of blessings, behind the scenes, my faith was being tested. Yet, in those challenges, my foundation grew stronger. My roots of faith dug deep, grounding me in trust and alignment with God’s promises. I discovered a simple yet profound approach to life that carried me through: a life lived in faith and purpose is a life of abundance.





Walking in Purpose: A Lifetime of Gratitude

I’ve been incredibly blessed to walk in my purpose my entire life. As a dancer, I’ve known the joy of moving in alignment with my calling since the beginning. I majored in dance, worked as a professional dancer, and now run a dance organization. My life’s work has been purpose-driven, and I don’t take that for granted.

But my heart aches for those who wake up every day, sacrificing their mental peace for employers who don’t value them. I see you, and I understand the toll it takes. That’s why I want to share an approach that has transformed my life and can do the same for you.

A Simple Yet Powerful Approach to Life

Here are three steps that can shift your mindset and align you with God’s promises:

1. Believe That God Is on Your SideThis is foundational. If you truly believe God is for you, not against you, it changes how you approach every challenge and opportunity.

2. Trust That He Will Do What He Said He Would DoGod’s promises are laid out in His Word, but how can you trust in something you don’t know? Open your Bible and read His promises. When you know what God has declared over your life, your faith becomes unshakable.

3. Allow God to Be GodHere’s the game-changer: step aside and let God work. He doesn’t need your help—He needs your trust. When you stay in a posture of receiving, you’ll experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. This kind of peace aligns your energy with a frequency that attracts more light, love, and joy into your life.

Now, I won’t say this is always easy. Challenges will come, but it’s during those times that you need to activate these steps with even more fervor. Watch how God turns your situation around when you lean into Him.

Stepping Into My Next Calling

As I reflect on this past year, I feel a deep calling to expand my purpose. In 2025, I’m stepping boldly into Mindset Coaching—a faith-based approach to helping people open themselves up to a new way of thinking.

This work is essential. It’s rooted in service and is my way of walking alongside others as they align with their God-given purpose. Your life is so much more than just going to work to pay the bills. You were created for a reason, and it’s time to step into that.

An Invitation to Discover a Newness

If you’re feeling stuck or disconnected from your calling, I’d love to walk with you on this journey. Together, we can uncover what God has in store for your life, align your mindset with your purpose, and create a life filled with peace, joy, and abundance.


The next season of your life is waiting. Let’s step into it—together.

With love and purpose,Erin
