My quiet strength counts even when no one sees it but God.
Even when I doubt myself, there is a quiet strength rising within me. It may not be loud, but it is real. It shows up when I keep walking through healing even when it feels heavy, when I keep showing up as a mother, a wife, a student, and a minister even with fear in my chest. My strength is rising in silence — and today, I choose to honor it instead of doubting it. I am still standing, and that is evidence enough.
Though my purpose still feels unclear — especially how my ministry will grow or support our family — I surrender the pressure to figure everything out. I don’t need to know the whole plan. I only need to walk the next step with Spirit. My legacy will not be built overnight — it will be built through trust, service, patience, and alignment.
I have already come farther than I give myself credit for. I built a ministry from pain. I finished my Master’s thesis. I found real love and allowed myself to be loved without violence. I set boundaries that my old self didn’t even believe were possible. I went from surviving life… to learning how to live it. Growth is already present — and I honor it today.
The fear that says “I’m not ready” may still whisper — but the Holy Spirit speaks louder:
You are already walking in your purpose. Your life is the testimony.
I may not feel qualified — but Spirit qualifies me. I may not feel worthy — but love proves that I am. I may feel like my husband deserves better — but the truth is, he chose me because better already lives within me.
Today, I choose obedience instead of overthinking. I will take one aligned step — even if it’s small. I will pray, journal, create, or simply listen for guidance. I don’t need control. I only need alignment. I’m done trying to plan the whole path — I trust that God will show me the next step.
My strength is already rising — and I am ready to walk with it, not against it.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
