Make Room For God.

 Becoming Her: Sis, When Was the Last Time You Truly Made Room for God? 💜

Sis, fasting is key in my life.

And I’m not talking about a diet or trying to lose weight. I’m talking about a spiritual fast—intentionally removing distractions so I can quiet everything else and seek God.

So I want to ask you something:

When was the last time you made God more than just a priority on your list?

Because if I’m being transparent, sometimes we say God is first, but our lives tell a different story.

We wake up and grab our phones before we pray.
We check Facebook before we check in with God.
We call everybody else when something goes wrong before we talk to Him.
We give Him the few minutes we have left instead of intentionally making room for Him.

And sis, I’m talking to me too.

My Wednesday Fast 🙏🏾

Every Wednesday from 6 AM to 6 PM, I fast with fruit and water.

But the most important part isn’t what I’m eating or not eating.

It’s me and Him.

It’s being intentional about prayer.
It’s opening my Bible.
It’s listening.
It’s worshipping.
It’s talking to God throughout my day.
It’s saying, “God, I need You more than I need all these other things competing for my attention.”

My Faith Sisters group is fasting together right now, and there is something beautiful about knowing that my sisters and I are intentionally seeking God together.

We may all be praying about different things, but we’re connected by one purpose:

We want more of Him.

Fasting Isn’t About Performing for God

I think sometimes we can make fasting about what we are giving up.

But fasting should always bring us back to Who we are seeking.

Jesus taught about fasting in Matthew 6:16–18, and one thing that stands out to me is that fasting isn’t supposed to be about putting on a show for people. It’s personal. It’s spiritual. It’s about your heart and your relationship with God.

Because you can go without food all day and still miss the whole purpose if you never make room for God.

The hunger should remind you to pray.

The quiet should remind you to listen.

The sacrifice should remind you that God is enough.

Sis, What Has Been Taking Up God’s Space?

Maybe it’s social media.

Maybe it’s your relationship.

Maybe it’s work.

Maybe it’s money.

Maybe it’s worrying.

Maybe you’ve been so busy trying to figure everything out yourself that you haven’t stopped long enough to seek God about it.

Sometimes Becoming Her means removing some things temporarily so you can hear God more clearly.

Not because fasting forces God to give you what you want.

But because fasting can change you.

Your focus.

Your heart posture.

Your discipline.

Your dependence on Him.

Your ability to recognize the distractions that have gotten louder than His voice.

So sis, I’ll leave you with this:

When was the last time you got intentional about seeking God—not because you needed something from Him, but simply because you wanted more of Him?

Maybe it’s time to turn some things down so you can turn your attention back toward God.

Fast.
Pray.
Seek Him.
Listen.

And most importantly…

Make room for Him. 💜

“But when you fast…” — Matthew 6:17

Keep the faith, sis. We’re still Becoming Her—one prayer, one surrender, and one intentional decision at a time. 💜✨

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 ...
