The Pause Power - Self-Awareness Matters

Image
  In life we are pulled in many directions — deadlines, expectations, responsibilities, and the constant hum of “keep going.” For many of us, it feels easier to push through than to step back. But the truth is this: pushing through without pause often causes more harm than good. 🌿 Self-Awareness Is the First Step Self-awareness is more than knowing what you feel — it’s paying attention to the whispers of your mind, body, and spirit. It’s noticing when your shoulders are heavy or tight, when your thoughts feel cluttered, and may even be racing, or when your spirit longs for quiet. Too often, we ignore these signals until we reach a breaking point. Choosing to pause is not weakness. It’s wisdom. A major power move.  It’s you saying, “I hear myself, and I matter enough to listen.” ⏸️ Your Pause May Look Different from Everyone else's. For some, a pause may be ten minutes of deep breathing or sitting in silence. For others, it may mean unplugging for ten days, journaling, o...

Faith Walk by Michelle Pitt

 


Have your own faith walk.
Because looking at someone else’s journey
might inspire you for a moment—
but it might also mislead you,
distract you,
even discourage you.

See, their light is not your light.
Their breakthrough is not your blueprint.

And sometimes,
we think a quick prayer or two
will unlock heaven’s floodgates—
but God…
God’s not just watching our lips—
He’s reading our lives.

It’s the way we walk.
The way we talk.
The way we wait when nothing’s moving.

It’s in the quiet moments,
the surrendered spaces,
the condition of our hearts
when no one else is looking.

It’s more than a Sunday song
or a post with a scripture in the caption—
It’s the rhythm of our obedience,
the posture of our trust,
the relationship we build
when we think He’s silent.

Because faith?
Faith ain’t imitation.
Faith is intimacy.
And alignment—
real alignment—
comes when we stop chasing formulas
and start seeking Him.

Not His hand.
His heart.

So don’t borrow someone else’s walk.
Take off the comparison.
Step into your own surrender.
And watch God move—
not just around you,
but within you.

 

Scriptures: 

1. James 2:17 (NIV)
“In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
→ Faith is more than words—it’s about how we live.

2. 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
→ God examines the heart, not performance.

3. John 15:5 (NIV)
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
→ Intimacy with God (relationship + surrender) is what causes fruit (promise, purpose) to flow.

4. Psalm 37:4-5 (NIV)
“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.”
→ Alignment and surrender unlock the path to receiving what He’s promised.

Affirmations: 

My faith is rooted in relationship, not performance.

I surrender daily, and God meets me with grace and guidance.

I am not moved by what I see—my trust is in God’s promise.

My life reflects the love, truth, and power of the God I serve.
