There are still things I want from this life. Not because the life I have isn't enough. I genuinely love it here. But I'm still curious. Things I haven't created yet. There are parts of myself I probably haven't even discovered. And there are prayers between God and m

I've realized I don't have nearly enough things in my life that I do simply because I enjoy them. No goal attached. No need to become great at it. No plan to monetize it. No thought about whether it would make good content. Just enjoyment. There's something beautiful a

I used to think being unsure meant I needed to look around and see what everyone else was doing. Now I'm learning that sometimes looking around is exactly what creates the uncertainty. Because I can be completely content with my pace until I compare it to someone else's. I can love w

Knowing yourself changes the way you choose. I'm noticing that more and more. There are things I could say yes to that I simply don't want. Not because they're bad. Not because I'm afraid to try something new. They just don't belong in the life I'm building. That&#3

I think we spend so much time talking about becoming that we forget there's supposed to be a point where we actually enjoy who we've become. I'm starting to understand that. My life isn't finished. There are still things I want, things I'm praying for, and places I haven'

One of the most surprising ways I've noticed my own growth is through my responses. Things still happen. People still disappoint me. Plans still change. Something can still catch me off guard. But I'm different in those moments now. I don't immediately feel the need to fix it

The longer I walk with God, the more I realize how differently I know Him now. I don't only recognize Him in answered prayers or open doors anymore. I recognize Him in peace. In Wisdom. In quiet mornings. In the strength to keep going when I don't know what's next. I still have

I used to think becoming meant becoming strong enough to carry everything. Now I think some of the deepest becoming happens when we finally realize what we can put down. There are things I carried because I thought I was supposed to. Expectations and, Explanations. Responsibilities that qu

I used to measure my time with God by whether I received an answer. Now I see it differently. Sometimes the greatest gift isn't an answer at all. It's the quiet peace I carry with me when I leave. The situation may not have changed.But something inside me has. And that's a gift I&#

I've been thinking about this lately. For a long time, I thought every moment with God needed to be filled with words. I thought I had to say the right thing. Pray the right prayer. Find the right Scripture. But now. Some of my favorite mornings are the quiet ones. The ones where I simply

One of the biggest things God has been teaching me is this: His invitation was never reserved for the version of me that finally had everything together. He met me in the middle of learning. In the middle of becoming. In the middle of ordinary days. Looking back, I realize I spent fa

I used to think slow meant I was falling behind. Now I see it differently. Some of the most meaningful changes in my life didn't happen overnight. They happened in quiet seasons that didn't look impressive from the outside. God wasn't asking me to hurry. He was teaching me t

Something I've been thinking about lately, The pages of "The Haven of Becoming" didn't begin with inspiration. They began with presence. There were mornings when I wasn't trying to create anything. I simply sat with God. No expectations. No agenda. Just a willingn

Sometimes the most meaningful things begin so quietly that we don't realize what they're becoming until much later. That's been true for me. Over the last couple of years, I've been writing something called The Haven of Becoming. At first, I thought I was simply writing down w

For a long time, I thought becoming meant arriving. Arriving at healing. Arriving at peace. Arriving at the woman I prayed to become. But lately, God has been reminding me of something different. Every step of becoming has quietly led me back to the same place. Right in front of God.

For a long time, I thought healing meant becoming someone new. Now I know it meant coming home. Coming home to the woman God created me to be.bThat journey wasn't quick, it wasn't easy. But it was worth every season. Today, I don't have all the answers. I don't have a perfect li

I stopped apologizing for who God created me to be. For years, I believed making myself smaller would make life easier. It didn't.... Healing showed me that humility and hiding aren't the same thing. God never asked me to disappear. He asked me to walk faithfully as the woman He creat

I stopped trying to be who everyone needed me to be. There was a time when I believed being loved meant constantly adjusting who I was. Now I know...... God never asked me to become someone else. He simply asked me to walk as the woman He created. 🤍 Deon Michelle #emergingcreator

Nobody told me healing would give me my personality back. My laughter. My curiosity. My sense of humor. The little things I thought I'd lost forever. 🤍 Deon Michelle #emergingcreator

I stopped believing that every relationship was mine to save. Healthy relationships don't need one person carrying all the weight. 🤍 Deon Michelle #emergingcreator
