 💜 Becoming Her: Chosen, Not Forsaken

Sis, sometimes you have to remind yourself who God says you are.

Not who people said you were.

Not who rejection made you feel like you were.

Not who your mistakes told you that you were.

Not who fear tried to convince you that you were.

But who God says you are.

I am chosen, not forsaken.
I am who You say I am.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 💜

And some days, you have to speak that over yourself until your heart catches up with your faith.

You Are Chosen

There will be seasons when you feel overlooked.

You may feel left out, forgotten, or like everybody else is moving forward while you are still waiting.

But sis, being overlooked by people does not mean you have been overlooked by God.

You are still chosen.

Still loved.

Still seen.

Still called.

Still covered.

And sometimes God will allow you to be separated from certain people and places so you can finally stop looking for your identity there.

Your identity was never supposed to come from people anyway.

It comes from Him.

You Are Not Forsaken

Life can get heavy.

There are moments when God may feel quiet.

Moments when prayers seem unanswered.

Moments when you are doing your best to hold on to faith and still asking, “God, where are You?”

But quiet does not mean absent.

Waiting does not mean forgotten.

And a hard season does not mean you have been abandoned.

God is still there.

He is still working.

He is still keeping you.

And even when you cannot see what He is doing, you can trust that He has not left you.

Sis, Watch What You Call Yourself

Becoming Her means learning to stop speaking against the woman God is building.

Stop calling yourself a failure.

Stop saying you are not enough.

Stop saying nobody wants you.

Stop saying you will never get it right.

Stop allowing one bad season to become your identity.

Words matter.

And sometimes the first person who needs to speak life over you is you.

So when fear tells you that you cannot do it, remind yourself:

God says I am chosen.

When insecurity tells you that you are not enough:

God says I am wonderfully made.

When rejection tells you that nobody wants you:

God says I belong to Him.

When your past tries to define you:

God says I am becoming new.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Sis, that means there was intention behind you.

God did not accidentally create you.

Your personality.

Your gifts.

Your heart.

Your story.

Even the parts of yourself you are still learning to love.

You were created with intention.

And the more you become secure in who God created you to be, the less you will feel the need to become somebody else for acceptance.

Becoming Her Means Believing God

There comes a point in your journey where you have to choose whose voice is going to be the loudest.

The world?

Your fear?

Your past?

Other people?

Or God?

I want God’s voice to be louder.

I want His Word to be the foundation.

I want to walk into rooms knowing I do not have to shrink.

I do not have to prove myself.

I do not have to compete.

I do not have to beg to belong.

Because I already know who I am.

I am chosen.
I am loved.
I am seen.
I am called.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

And sis, so are you. 💜

So today, speak life over yourself.

Stand in the mirror if you have to and say it until you believe it:

I am chosen, not forsaken.
I am who God says I am.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

This is more than an affirmation.

It is a reminder of your identity.

And when you know who you are in God, you stop allowing everything else to tell you who you should be.

Keep believing.
Keep growing.
Keep walking in who God called you to be.

And most importantly, keep Becoming Her. 💜✨

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 ...
