1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

This passage is so familiar, but every time I read it, something else hits me. Today it was the rhythm — rest → renewal → guidance → courage → blessing → belonging. It feels like the journey I’ve been on this entire year.

I told a friend I felt like I wasted this year in depression. His reply has been stuck in my mind: “Ah sucks you feel you wasted a year away, but that happens.”
He didn’t say I wasted the year — he said I felt like I did.

Maybe this year wasn’t wasted. Maybe it was a year of rest I didn’t choose but needed. And when I was ready, renewal started. Guidance began. Courage is slowly coming back. And blessings… maybe they’ve been there all along.

“You are with me.” Not “maybe.” Not “when I feel it.”
You are. Right now. That reminder is honestly what I needed today.

I dragged myself out of bed for my sit today. I’m on a mission, so I didn’t allow myself to hit snooze. The sit wasn’t great — a lot of mind wandering, dullness, random thoughts. But I finished it. And right now, finishing matters more than perfection. I need to rebuild the habit first, then work on improving the quality of the sit. Small steps.

Quiet day yesterday — probably because of FOMC. Not many calls.
I entered frinkcoin, thought it was dead, sold… and of course it pumped 3x after. The trenches are humbling like that.

I keep thinking back to 2022 when I had the idea for this shill page. If I had just started then, my account would be so much further by now. But I also know I wasn’t in the right state of mind then. Now I am. Everything happens when it’s supposed to — God’s timing is always something I only understand later, not in the moment.

I missed my 3k goal by 50 followers yesterday. My boss reminded me how far I’ve come in a month. Sometimes you need someone outside yourself to tell you to be grateful. So thank you God for giving me this new asset to build.

I want to start mixing more spiritual content into the timeline. Right now, it’s mostly crypto. Something feels imbalanced. I’ll pray and reflect on how to share more of the faith side too.

And then yesterday — three separate signs about Vietnam. A friend I last saw in Vietnam met my boss for dinner. Another friend mentioning business development there. Another friend saying someone is starting something early stage. Three confirmations in one day. The only thing missing is bà ngoại calling me randomly, which she always does when the spiritual path opens.

I’m grateful for all these signposts. People who show up at the right time. I hope I can be that signpost for someone else someday. To shine light when they feel they are in darkness.

As the Shepherd leads me, I’ll keep walking. I don’t know where this flows toward next, but His goodness and love will follow me — that’s all I need to know right now.

So great!
