Eyes have not seen, nor have ears heard, neither have they entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that have Him – 1 Cor 2:9
If you tie rebirth into freedom then baby, you’re basically a brand-new person. Change, Growth, Purging, Pruning – all of those things are a part of life.
I pray that in spite of everything that we have faced this year, you are still standing. Possibly not with everything that you had when 2020 started but there is still breath in your body and for that we must rejoice. We lost several family members, some near and dear to my heart including my beloved Papa. Between the pandemic and this virus hitting home, with my momma, I had to find peace in small places. Dead places. Dark places. Quiet places. I prayed that you did the same.
What new habits have you picked up this year?
What changes have you made?
Are you ready for 2021?
Peace feels good. Joy feels very good. It’s liberating. The moment of realization is one that I pray every person whose eyes lay upon this stamp experience once or twice in this lifetime. Healing is a journey. If you are reading this then that means you’ve found yourself on my new site. NAKOEXPO is officially relaunched. *inserts twerk and a lil’ praise dance with it*
I’ve been diligently working under the radar to get things aligned for the vision that I have for the year of 2021.
Listen, I am growing comfortable with saying that 2021 is promising. That’s because it is. In God’s presence there is freedom. I have been listening to No Bondage by Jubilee Worship and it’s such a prophetic song. The woman sings over and over again, “In God’s presence, there is freedom.”
I’m far from the perfect Christian but me and God are homies and we love each other so much. I entitled this stamp The Rebirth because that’s exactly what this season feels like.
Rebirth is defined as the process of being reincarnated or born again.
What has life taught you lately? Pastor Jamal Bryant said, “Wisdom comes after loss” and I felt that more than a lil’ bit. With age comes grace and with loss, comes wisdom. The Passport went on a small hiatus. I wasn’t in a place to help anyone collect their stamps. It was important to refuel myself. To return to your right mind is truly an underrated blessing. When you wake up in the morning and your arms and legs don’t feel like a train is on top of them…that’s something to shout about. Not being triggered or convicted by every little thing you see or hear. Being able to have a good day without constantly reflecting on the past. Listen, healing is a personal journey. One, that no one can travel for you. It’s when you are seriously ready to get through the muck and come out on top. I want that for you. It’s a daily prayer for God to release every trapped soul. I want all of us to be free and reborn. So, *clears throat* The Passport is BACK. Podcast & Blog. As you can see nakoexpo.com is back popping with The N Box, affirmation cards and merch. I’m doing everything I said I was going to do and then some. My goal is to be the PUSH. The push that YOU need to get where you desire to be. The push that YOU need to kick 2021 off the right way. Let’s lose the weight, clear the skin, get the credit score right, save the money, buy the house, leave the nigga, start the business, write the book etc. Whatever you want to do. You are going to do it. You will do it. One foot in front of the other. Being reborn is a choice. In my Outkast voice, “You gotta get up and do something.”
Release the past. Put down the vices and distractions. The Rebirth is on the horizon. This is me passing good energy and vibes down to you. Tap Tap Tap Tap in. Saweetie is my girl! Whew, yall all I do now is listen to music LOL. So, I’m sorry if I keep dropping lyrics every other line. The line-up for The Passport next year is bomb. I’m going to be diving into other categories outside of lifestyle/encouragement. I’m giving you all of me. If you are interested in guest blogging on the site, holler at me. I’m putting people on. This stamp serves as an introduction and Welcome to the new site. Take a look around. I have a new bio and brand story. For my readers that’s been with me since the beginning, I think it will be pretty dope to see the transformation from six years ago to now. I’m only getting better. I appreciate now that my reader-tribe knows to be patient with me while I craft my books. They trust that it will always be worth the wait. Next year, will be rewarding for those that stayed down with me. I’m thankful for all of my supporters. The Passport stamps will sometimes align with the podcast episodes. In closing, go read Psalms 91. It’s my new favorite scripture. God is waiting on you. Give Him your heart. Watch Him reward you greatly.
Until next time,
xoxoNAKO.
