Finding the Strength to Speak Up

  I remember standing outside a beauty store, watching women walk in with determination on their faces. Many were headed in to purchase products to enhance their outer appearance — to look beautiful, polished, and put together. But I wondered: How many of them were like me, falling to pieces inside while trying to cover up the pain? For so long, I did the same thing. I hid my sadness behind makeup, clothes, and a fake smile that said, “I’m good.” On the inside, though, I was breaking. The truth is, in order for us to get the support we need, we often have to get frustrated enough with our situation to finally say something. Silence keeps us stuck, but vulnerability opens the door to healing. It’s not weakness to admit we need help. It’s actually the first act of strength. Scripture reminds us: 📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 📖 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 📖 “Therefore con...

Finding The Rhythm


In this life we experience many seasons — and each season carries its own rhythm. There are moments when everything flows smoothly, and others when it feels like everything is happening all at once. During times of change, it’s natural to feel out of sync. What used to work may no longer fit where you are now, and that’s okay.

Sometimes when things are shifting in your life, you can’t keep the same schedule. This is where finding your rhythm comes in. The balancing act isn’t easy, but it’s possible. Realizing what’s a priority and what can wait is vital to establishing a rhythm that will actually work for you in this season.

Think about it — a music producer doesn’t add all the instruments at once. That would create chaos, not harmony. Each sound is layered intentionally, timed perfectly, and blended with care.

Your life is much the same. You are the composer, and God is your ultimate Conductor. Some things are meant to play constantly — like prayer, gratitude, and faith. Others are meant to come in and out — relationships, projects, routines, opportunities.

When you allow God to guide your tempo, you find flow instead of frustration. The rhythm may shift, but the melody of your life remains rooted in His grace. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

This scripture reminds us that rhythm is not about doing everything at once — it’s about discerning when to act, when to rest, and when to simply be still.

Even Jesus took time to pause, pray, and retreat from the crowds. Rhythm requires rest as much as movement.

Affirmation

I release the pressure to do it all at once.
I move with grace, flow, and divine timing.
My rhythm aligns with God’s plan for my life.

Be patient with yourself as your rhythm changes. What worked in one season may not fit in the next — and that’s a sign of growth, not failure. Allow your soul to dance to the beat of peace, purpose, and progress.

Every day, ask yourself:
💫 What is constant in my life right now?
💫 What needs to be adjusted or released?
💫 Where is God leading my next step?

When you live in rhythm with His timing, everything begins to flow again.
