What Waiting Has Taught Me

✨ What Waiting Has Taught Me

Have you ever felt stuck in a season where nothing seemed to be moving? Where you were praying, hoping, waiting — and still… nothing? I have been there too. And what I’ve come to learn is this:

💛Sometimes, God hides the blessing in the waiting.

It doesn’t always feel like a gift. Sometimes the waiting feels like punishment. But in truth, it’s preparation. It’s not wasted. It’s not pointless. And you, my friend, are not forgotten.

💛 The Hidden Work of God

During one of the hardest seasons of my life, I cried out to God daily. I couldn’t understand why doors weren’t opening. But slowly, I began to see something deeper: God wasn’t withholding joy from me — He was forming something within me. Patience. Strength. Trust. A deeper knowing of who I am in Him. You’re not forgotten. You’re being formed.

Those words became an anchor for me. And over time, I started to believe that joy wasn’t just something waiting at the end of my journey — it was being shaped inside me during the journey.

Keep Walking, Keep Trusting.

Waiting is uncomfortable, but it’s not empty. God uses it to prepare us for the very thing we’ve been asking Him for. And when it’s finally time — nothing and no one can stop what He’s about to release in your life.

So today, I want to encourage you the same way God encouraged me: Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep showing up in faith. Because joy is still coming.

🙏 Let’s Reflect

Ask yourself:

What might God be forming in me right now?
Have I mistaken His silence for absence?
How can I hold on to hope when it feels slow?

🕊️ Final Thought

You are not being punished — you're being positioned.
There is purpose in the pause. And, when your moment comes, it will be worth every second of the wait.

Until then…

Rest in His love. Trust in His process. And rejoice — because joy is still coming.

You’re Not Alone in This

You’re Not Alone in This When life gets heavy — and it does — we sometimes forget that we’re not meant to carry everything on our own. The weight of worry, uncertainty, or exhaustion may press down on your heart, but God is not asking you to be strong all by yourself. In fact, His strength shines brightest when we admit our weakness and lean into Him. Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. - 1 Timothy 1:7. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step of faith. And you are never taking that step alone. God walks beside you — whispering courage, wrapping you in grace, and holding your heart steady. So tonight, rest in that promise. Tomorrow, rise with new strength. You’re not forgotten. You’re not forsaken. You’re not alone. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Listen to the podcast episode: Life ...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

Your Delay Is Not Denial

Your Delay Is Not Denial Trusting God in the Waiting Season 📖 Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) – “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Have you ever felt like God was taking too long? You pray. You believe. You wait. And still… it feels like nothing is moving. It’s easy to get discouraged in seasons of delay — especially when others around you seem to be walking into their breakthroughs while you’re stuck wondering “When is it my turn?” But the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:3 brings comfort and clarity: For the vision is yet for an appointed time... That means: God hasn’t forgotten. The promise, the vision, the direction — whatever He placed in your heart — is still alive. But it’s attached to a divine appointment. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t. 💭 What Is the “Vision”? In Habakkuk’s time, the vision referred to a revelation from Go...
