Still Becoming

I am not who I was YESTERDAY,
And I am NOT YET who I will be.
I am a WORK IN PROGRESS,
A MASTERPIECE still unfolding beneath GOD'S HANDS.

There were moments I thought I was BREAKING,
When in TRUTH, I was being REBUILT.
There were DOORS that closed WITHOUT WARNING,
Only because God was OPENING a PATH I could not yet see.

The TEARS were not WASTED.
The WAITING was not PUNISHMENT.
The SILENCE was not ABANDONMENT.
God was WORKING in places MY EYES could not reach.

Every DISAPPOINTMENT became a LESSON.
Every SETBACK became a STEPPING STONE.
Every WOUND became a REMINDER
That HEALING is POSSIBLE through Him.

I learned that FAITH is not BELIEVING the STORM WILL NEVER COME.
Faith is TRUSTING God when the THUNDER SHAKES your SOUL.
Faith is taking ONE MORE STEP when your STRENGTH is GONE.
Faith is BELIEVING HIS PROMISES even when you CANNOT see them.

Today I STAND with GRATITUDE,
Not because the JOURNEY WAS EASY,
But because God CARRIED ME through every DIFFICULT MILE.

This story is not about PERFECTION.
It is about PERSEVERANCE.
It is about GRACE.
It is about FINDING PURPOSE in the places that ONCE CAUSED PAIN.

And if MY JOURNEY teaches anything, let it be this:

You are not BURIED.
You are PLANTED.

What feels like the END may simply be the BEGINNING
Of everything God has PROMISED, you can BECOME.

So keep BELIEVING.
Keep TRUSTING.
Keep GROWING.

YOUR SEASON IS COMING.

And the BEST IS STILL AHEAD.
