Over the weekend, Good took to Instagram to share a series of photos of her enjoying the outdoors. The "Stomp The Yard" star looked sporty in a figure-hugging green two-piece consisting of leggings and a tank top.
She paired the outfit with nude Yeezy sneakers and donned jumbo wine-colored locks, styled sideways to beautifully frame her face. Good was seen standing by a lake with some ducks in the background, taking in the lovely view.
"This time last year, as I got excited for my 40th birthday I had no idea just a few weeks later I’d find out my life was about to change dramatically," the "Deliver Us From Eva" star began her caption.
She continued, "A few days ago I looked at pictures from the month of August thinking to myself in hindsight.. wow. Now almost a year later .. I feel strong.. mostly .. but still lost at times."
Good admitted that she still has "moments of sadness" while healing. Nevertheless, she was "trying to figure out God's plan knowing all that He did .. but also still trusting Him- completely..."
The Los Angeles native reminded fans that God's word remains true and she believes"His future for me is still gorgeously bright 🙌🏾. Knowing that there will be much to offer "because" of this journey someday."
Despite her hope and positivity about life, Good admitted she "still grieves at times." However, she is "extremely thankful for everything .. even things that hurt - for I know He will make gold from them."
Addressing her fans, Good wrote, "I want to encourage anyone who’s been through or is going through a season they never could’ve anticipated to remember : There is life + life more abundantly as we walk it out … there’s so much sunshine + new growth after the rain .. We/You. Are. Worthy."

Good And DeVon Franklin Divorced After 9 Years
As The Blast exclusively reported, Good and her estranged husband DeVon Franklin called it quits in December after nine years of marriage.
We exclusively obtained the divorce documents which were filed by Franklin on Monday, December 20, at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles, California.
The pair welcomed no children during their time together so there were no concerns about child support. In the filing, Franklin, a motivational speaker, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
In a surprise twist, he asked the court to terminate its ability to award either of them spousal support — insinuating that they had a prenup agreement before walking down the aisle. He cited August 21, 2021, as the couple's official date of separation, meaning they were separated for four months before their divorce.
The pair confirmed their breakup via a joint statement that read, "After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go into our futures separately but forever connected. We celebrate almost a decade of marriage together and a love that is eternal."

They continued, "There's no one at fault, we believe this is the next best chapter in the evolution of our love. We are incredibly grateful for the life-changing years we've spent together as husband and wife. We are also extremely thankful to God for the testimony being created inside us both and for blessing our lives with each other."
