Stepping Into 2026 With Crazy Faith

 

2025 was chaotic, stressful—yet peaceful. Phrases like "one miracle at a time" became a beacon to our hearts. "One day at a time" and "I choose to trust" were words that echoed throughout the year.

And yes, we saw God's goodness, God's faithfulness, and God's grace—through prayers, through circumstances, through people, and even through strangers. His miraculous hand was imprinted on each day as we walked in faith and peace. His promises were held so tightly, like there was no tomorrow. And when fear tried to invade, His name echoed loud in our hearts and home. He was the center of it all.

Connections were deeper. Grace was intentional. Mercy was freely given. Tongues were silent, peace reigned, and love was evident. Our tongues were silent in obedience—we were not going to complain, nor whine, nor grumble. We were going to thank Him and speak only when He asked us to. Angels felt like constant companions. Hugs and kisses were more meaningful. Even though we lived day by day, we experienced His presence in ways that words can barely capture.

God's Faithfulness in 2025

Looking back, 2025 was a year in which God displayed His faithfulness in undeniable ways. Living day by day is fine when you're walking out your faith in the midst of the unknown. Desiring peace is excellent—especially when you're facing devastating circumstances and want His peace despite what each day brings.

And we saw it. We saw tangible ways He provided. He showed up. He displayed His faithfulness through our obedience. Even when we couldn't see the whole picture, we took steps of faith, and God met us there. Every need was met—not always how we expected, but always on time. His goodness wasn't just a concept we believed in; it was tangible, honest, and experienced.

We did not lose our house. When everything said we would, when circumstances screamed it was inevitable, God intervened. He kept His promise. He made a way where there was no way.

Only He can fuel our fire. Only He can sustain our peace and humbleness through it all. When circumstances screamed chaos, His presence whispered peace. When fear threatened to overtake us, His faithfulness anchored our souls. He proved Himself faithful—not because we were perfect, but because He is.

That foundation of His proven faithfulness—the way He showed up day after day, miracle after miracle—is what fuels our confidence as we step into 2026. We're not stepping out in blind hope. We're stepping out because we've seen Him. We know Him. And we trust Him completely. If He could keep us from losing our house, He can surely keep every promise He's spoken over our lives.

Shifting Gears Into 2026: The Press

Now, as we step into 2026, we shift gears—more bold, more fearless, more sold out.

But why the shift?

Because He's pressing into us. God is saying: "It's great to be obedient. It's great to be humble. It's great that you did all those things I asked you to do. But now—you are beyond the day to day."

We are no longer just surviving. We are no longer just holding on. Now, we need our faith to be bold. To believe in the things we've been waiting on to come to fruition.

Now it's time to speak—but differently. In 2025, our tongues were silent in obedience. Now, in 2026, we speak boldly and fearlessly. We boldly stand in our prayers and requests—not as demands, but in believing God and trusting Him completely. We are rebuking, anointing our minds, our bodies, our homes, our marriage, and everything in our hands. We speak life. We speak faith. We speak breakthrough.

He's calling us to take specific steps in boldness. Not reckless steps, but faith-filled ones. Because this is how He aligns us for the next chapter, the next season of our lives. He wants our hearts, our minds, and our actions to align with the boldness He's asking us to walk out.

In 2020, Crazy Faith became my motto. And now, here we are again. Crazy Faith means trusting God fully—without explanation, hesitation, or evidence. It means acting boldly, even when the "how" doesn't make sense. It means obeying without hesitation, without fear, without limiting Him.

He's telling us: Dream big. Even if it doesn't make sense. Even if you can't see the picture. Just obey.

This year, my thoughts and actions must align with that truth. Whatever we do, I may not be able to explain it—but God. That's the foundation. That's the confidence. That's the faith that moves mountains.

What Crazy Faith Looks Like in 2026

Walking in Crazy Faith means asking for things as though they already are. It means aligning our mouths and our actions to match the craziness of our faith.

Here's what that looks like practically for us:

We're praying for a new car. Not just hoping, not just wishing—but asking boldly, expecting God to provide. Our current situation says it's impossible, but our faith says otherwise.

We're believing for the finances to fix our house. Big repairs. Big expenses. Big faith. We're not waiting until we "see how" it could happen. We're praying, planning, and preparing as if the provision is already on its way.

We're asking God to restore what we lost. Even though these things may seem materialistic, they had to say goodbye to them or 2025o maadjust their family situation. We made sacrifices. We let go. And now, we're boldly asking God to restore what once was lost. Not because we're entitled, but because we believe He is a God of restoration.

We're praying dangerously for our business. God has asked us to take specific steps to align us in the business world and take us beyond what we ever dreamed. We are praying boldly for wisdom in every decision, for every client, for more clients, and for discernment, as my husband is going to step out in strength as he endures this journey. I'm praying for the support and encouragement he needs. We're believing for the right team to build, the right vision to pursue, trusting that God is placing every piece exactly where it needs to be as we move forward in obedience.

We're walking in faith together as a family—for our parents. We made a promise to each other that we will take care of our parents. Now, all the challenges they face—health issues, finances, and more—can be alleviated through provision. We are praying and boldly believing that God will answer our prayers in a mighty way to help our parents in every way they need. He will provide the finances for us to do it. He will show us the way to honor them and to bless them. This is Crazy Faith walking hand in hand with sacred responsibility.

And there are other prayers—family-oriented ones that God knows. We don't need to go into specifics, but we know this: nothing is too small or too big for God.

This is Crazy Faith. It's speaking to the mountain before it moves. It's thanking God for what we haven't seen yet. It's taking steps that only make sense if God shows up—and fully expecting Him to.

My Declaration for 2026

So here's my declaration for 2026:

I will trust without fear. I will act without hesitation. I will believe without needing evidence.

Because faith isn't about what I see—it's about Who I know. And I know God is able.

I will pray big prayers. I will speak as though it's already done. I will align my actions with my faith, even when it looks crazy to everyone else.

An Invitation to You

Dear friend,

From someone who has walked this hard season for four years now, I can tell you: God is not surprised by anything you are going through. It doesn't make it any less painful, stressful, or heartbreaking. We are going to feel all the cycles of emotions. But one thing I know—when you are on your knees crying out to the Lord, He will lift you up, hug you, and show you one miracle at a time.

These years have been rough and challenging, but each day, the simple phrase "I choose to trust You" has become our promise blanket.

Surround yourself with people who help. Our support group from our beloved church was extraordinary. Those we trusted with our personal issues became family we could lean on—where honesty and transparency were safe, where there was no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed. They were the tangible way God helped us and made us feel loved, seen, and cherished. Never be afraid to share what you're going through with trusted friends. They will walk through it with you, and in time, you'll be there for others going through similar seasons, bringing them the same hope you received.

Embrace the adjustments, the changes, and be grateful for the little things. Each day, each moment will build your trust and faith.

Never be alone or isolated. Please remember: it's okay not to be OK. There were days I wasn't—my attitude, my pleas, my cries were not always holy nor grateful. But the beauty is that God let me vent. He let me have my pity party for a few minutes, then I picked myself up and allowed His presence, His voice, to calm my mind and heart.

You are not always going to obey perfectly because we are human. We will see the hardships and feel them deeply. But He will remind you that you are not alone, and step by step, you will do the things He's asking you to do. God is so gracious in how He speaks, guides, and directs our steps.

Trust me, as someone who is tenacious and tends to do things on her own because I want to fix things, trusting is not always easy or my first thought. But when you surrender? Oh my, how blessed it is.

If you are having a hard time mentally or spiritually, please visit a local church, Celebrate Recovery, or any Bible study group. It will help.

The enemy cannot wait to destroy you mentally, so constantly feed your mind with His Word. Hold on to His promises and be in constant prayer with Him. Build that relationship with Him as more than a provider—as a confidant, friend, and comforter. Whether you need a constant reminder or tangible ways to reassure you, He will do that. I was in continuous gratefulness and awe of Him showing up for me time after time.

Do not be surprised when He answers unspoken prayers. He knows it all, and He wants you to know how loved you are.

If you're reading this and stepping into a new year with uncertainty, I encourage you: lean into faith that feels crazy. The kind that stretches you, challenges you, and reminds you that God's plans are bigger than your doubts.

Here's to a year of bold steps, unshakable trust, and miracles we can't explain—only God can.

Big expenses. Big faith. Big God.
