When It Felt Like God Skipped Me…

2025/6/3 Edited to

... Read moreExperiencing a season of waiting can be incredibly challenging, and many individuals often feel as if they are missing out on the blessings that others receive. It's common to question whether God has forgotten about us or to feel invisible amidst the blessings surrounding us. However, it's essential to understand that God's timing is different from our own, and often, the quiet moments are when He is doing some of His most profound work. In the Bible, many accounts reflect this principle. For example, the story of Abraham and Sarah teaches us about waiting for a promise that seemed impossible. Despite their doubt and impatience, God fulfilled His promise in His timing, proving that He is always in control. Likewise, the tale of Job illustrates the importance of faith even amid suffering and waiting. Job's endurance and unwavering faith during his trials resulted in blessings beyond his dreams. The message is clear: just because we might feel delayed or overlooked does not mean we are being deprived of blessings. In times of solitude or silence, pray and seek peace, allowing God to prepare you for what is ahead. Reflect on your journey and trust that the waiting season is not wasted time; rather, it is an opportunity for growth, deeper faith, and powerful testimonies. Remember the words of Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Trust that while you're waiting, God is with you, working behind the scenes to fulfill His promises and blessings in your life.

For the longest time I could not sit down to read the Bible. Something about it turned me off and when I look back on it I think it was how imperfect I felt to know such a perfect God. I had roots deep of rejection but that’s a story for another day. 4 years ago I bought this women’s Bible and I st

I thought being loud meant I was leading. Really, I was just overwhelmed and calling it authority. It wasn’t a betrayal. It was a spill. And I was reacting like I was in a courtroom defending my life. That’s the part nobody teaches you— how fast your past shows up in your tone. Y
