Moving on from the divorce subject and focusing on herself, she added, "I'm really excited about what's next. I'm like, 'All right, Lord, if you allowed it, what's next, Dad?'

Seeming thrilled about what the future held for her, she revealed that she was embracing her new life with excitement while admitting, "I don't know what to expect, and that's kind of amazing."

Good Initially Didn't Have Everything Figured Out

The "Think Like A Man" actress appears to have gone through a rough patch last year following the finalization of her divorce from her ex-husband.

Per The Blast, Good, had a self-reflection some days before her 41st birthday in August 2022. Unburdening her heart, she shared a soul-stirring post on her Instagram page. She posted a series of photos of herself enjoying the outdoors as she looked sporty, dressed in a figure-hugging green two-piece consisting of leggings and a tank top which she paired with nude Yeezy sneakers.

Opening up about the post in her caption, she began by writing, "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."

She further revealed how she had some retrospection during her birthday month and confessed she felt "strong.. Mostly.. But still lost at times." Getting deeper, she added she still had "moments of sadness" while healing. The "Stomp The Yard" actress, however, optimistically revealed that she was "trying to figure out God's plan knowing all that He did.. But also still trusting Him- completely…"

Ending her moving message with some words of motivation, she encouraged her followers and anyone going through a tough time to know and believe they are "worthy."
