There’s something no one really talks about…

After you finish writing a book—

after the edits, the prayers, the late nights, the quiet mornings…

there’s a wait.

My book is done.

It’s copyrighted.

It’s been submitted for publishing.

And now I’m in a 72-hour window

where everything is being finalized behind the scenes.

It’s the strangest feeling…

To know something is complete—

but not yet revealed.

Like standing at the edge of something

that’s about to unfold.

I wrote about this moment today—

what it feels like to be right here, in between.

If you’ve ever waited on something meaningful…

this might speak to you 🤍

A spiral-bound notebook page displays handwritten notes titled 'WHEN GOD SAYS NO!'. The notes explain that God's 'no' is for our best interest, protects us, and guides us, encouraging acceptance and full reliance on Him, with scripture references.
When GOD says NO‼️Then what? 🤷🏾‍♀️
You know, sometimes life throws us curveballs, and it feels like our prayers or plans just hit a wall. It’s easy to get frustrated or disheartened when God says no, but often there’s a bigger picture we can't see. Maybe that job we didn’t get or the relationship that didn’t work out was actuall
