Sis, Take Your Foot Off the Brake

Yesterday, I cried.

Not the kind of cry where a few tears roll down your face. I’m talking about the kind where you pour everything out to God because you’ve reached your limit.

And honestly? I needed it.

I’ve been pulled in so many different directions. Work. Ministry. School. Motherhood. Health. People needing me. Expectations. Deadlines.

If I’m being honest, some of it was my fault.

Not because people asked too much of me—but because I kept saying yes when I should’ve been saying, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

Yesterday, I finally reached a place where I said, enough.

I put in my 90-day notice for my position at work.

Was it scary? Absolutely.

But peace will often ask you to let go of what’s familiar so God can lead you somewhere healthier.

For so long, I convinced myself I could keep juggling everything. I kept hitting the gas and the brake at the same time. I wanted to move forward, but fear, responsibility, and people-pleasing kept slowing me down.

Then God gently reminded me:

“Trust Me.”

Not with part of your life.

Everything.

The schedule.
The finances.
The unknown.
The purpose.
The next chapter.

Sis, maybe you’ve been crying over the same thing because you’ve been standing in the same place.

Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t in another prayer asking God to move.

Sometimes He’s waiting on you to take your foot off the brake.

So cry if you need to.

Rest if you need to.

Heal if you need to.

But don’t stay parked.

Take the next step—even if it’s a small one.

God has already gone ahead of you.

Becoming HER isn’t about pretending you’re strong every day. It’s about trusting God enough to keep moving, even after you’ve cried.

Today, take your foot off the brake.

He’s got the wheel.

Becoming begins with Surrender

-
  Sis, becoming isn’t always about adding—it’s sometimes about releasing. In order to become, you must unbecome. You have to let go of the fear that keeps you stuck, the hurt that keeps you guarded, the guilt that keeps you looking back, and the version of yourself that no longer aligns with where God is taking you. God can’t fill hands that are still holding on to what He’s trying to remove. Some doors won’t open until you release what was only meant for a season. Some prayers won’t look the way you imagined because God is preparing something greater than you can see. Trust the pruning. Trust the stretching. Trust the process. Every “no,” every closed door, every lesson, and every tear is making room for the woman God has already called you to be. Don’t be afraid to outgrow old habits, old mindsets, old relationships, or old versions of yourself. Growth requires surrender. Sis, you’re not losing yourself—you are becoming who God created you to be. Keep releasing. Keep tru...

When Life Keeps LIFING: Becoming HER Through Weariness 💜

-
  Becoming HER: When You Feel Defeated and Life Just Keeps LIFING There are days when life feels heavy. Not because you’ve stopped believing. Not because you’ve given up. But because you’re simply… tired. Tired of carrying responsibilities. Tired of fighting battles no one else sees. Tired of showing up when your body and mind are asking for rest. I’ve had those days. Recently, it was supposed to be my day off, but I got called into work. If I’m being honest, my first response wasn’t gratitude—it was frustration. My body was tired, and my mind quickly followed. The truth is, I’m not just tired from work. I’m living with chronic health conditions that affect me every single day. Some mornings I wake up in pain before my feet even touch the floor. Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia have taught me what it feels like to keep moving when your body wants to stop. Add doctor’s appointments, medications, school, ministry, work, and everyday responsibilities, and some days it ...

Be about your Father’s Business

-
  💜 Becoming Her: Sis, Be About the Father’s Business Sis, at some point you have to ask yourself: Am I busy… or am I about the Father’s business? Because there is a difference. We can be busy working, building, posting, planning, helping everybody else, chasing goals, and checking things off our list—but still neglect what God actually called us to do. And in this season of Becoming Her, I don’t just want to be busy. I want to be obedient. What Did God Tell YOU to Do? One thing I’m learning is that everybody’s assignment isn’t my assignment. Whew, sis. That will free you. You don’t have to compete with her. You don’t have to move because everybody else is moving. You don’t have to start something because you saw somebody else doing it. And you definitely don’t have to explain every move God told you to make. Sometimes we spend so much time looking at what everybody else is doing that we lose focus on what God told us to do. Sis, get back to your assignment. Jesus ...
