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.

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God Recently, I had a dream that I believe holds a significant message not only for myself but for many others. I feel led to share this dream with you, as I believe it serves as a spiritual wake up call–a reminder of the urgency of walking in the truth and seeking the Kingdom of God. In this dream, I found myself in a large classroom filled with 30 or more adults. The atmosphere was serious, almost as if everyone was waiting for something important to happen. At the front of the classroom, there was a door that led to a small, enclosed room. I stepped into that room, and with me was a man, though I couldn’t clearly identify who he was. In my hand, I was holding four large wooden dowels. These dowels were about 12 inches long and colored similarly to chico sticks — bright and attention - grabbing. I kept turning to the man beside me, telling him, “You tell them,” as if I was unsure of delivering the message myself. But each...

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, ...

America Wake Up!

America, Wake Up: Preparing for an Uncertain Future Major changes are happening in America, and if you haven’t been paying attention, now is the time to wake up. With the new administration in power, significant cuts are being made to essential programs such as food stamps, housing assistance, and medical aid. Millions of Americans who have relied on these services may soon find themselves without support, leaving many struggling to survive. The question is: are you ready for what’s coming? The System is Changing—Are You? For decades, many have depended on government assistance to make ends meet. However, as policies shift, these safety nets are shrinking. Qualifying for housing is becoming increasingly difficult, with landlords demanding high credit scores and income three times the rent. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and food assistance programs are being scaled back. The message is clear: relying on the system is no longer a safe bet. It’s time to take control of your fut...
