Hey sis,

I don’t say this lightly, but a few days ago I told my husband, “I think I’m falling apart.”

We were standing in the kitchen, and I was frustrated. Not just about business — though that too — but deeper than that. I told him I felt discouraged, tired, even a little depressed. It felt like the hope I usually have… just wasn’t there. And I couldn’t figure out why.

I’ve been praying. Reading my Bible. Trying to stay encouraged. Still showing up. Still building. Still believing…

But the truth? It hasn’t been easy to keep trusting God when I’m not seeing the results I expected.

And then my husband asked me a question that really made me stop:

​

Whew. That one hit me hard.
Not because I don’t believe — but because I hadn’t been living like I did.
There was a gap between what I knew about God and how I was trusting Him.

Can I be honest with you? I’ve been relying on my timelines. My strategy. My grind. MY MY MY ​
​

I’ve been working hard... but struggling to rest in Him.
I was trusting in my effort, not His plan. And importantly I forgot to be a servant.

After a tearful moment with God, I heard Him whisper that what I need isn’t more hustle or tweaking of the plan.
What I need is to believe again. To trust Him deeply. To fully surrender to His timing.

That’s when I picked up the 100 Days of Believing Bigger devotional again, and Day 1 had this line that gripped me:

The author defines trust as:

And sis… that checked me all the way.

Because if I’m honest, I’ve been trusting God with my mouth but not with my timeline.
I’ve been trying to build a God-led business but still operating like I’m the boss of the calendar.

This season, God is teaching me to loosen my grip.
To trust Him not just in the outcomes — but in the in-between.
The waiting.
The stretching.
The becoming.

So if you’ve been in a season where you’re doing all the “right things” but still not seeing the fruit…
If you’re wondering when the breakthrough will come…
If you’re tired of feeling like it’s not happening fast enough…

Let me remind you — He sees you. He hasn’t forgotten. And no, you’re not crazy for feeling weary while you wait.

But He’s still faithful. And His timing is still perfect.

Take a breath.
Let go of your deadlines. And lean fully into the truth that God isn’t just trying to get you to the finish line — He’s forming something beautiful in the middle.

I’m right there with you. Let’s keep trusting — even here 💛
