Rooted & Rising

I’m learning that evolving isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes it happens quietly—in prayer, in surrender, in the moments where I choose peace over proving a point.

Evolving is trusting that God is still working in me, even when I don’t see immediate change. “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” (Philippians 1:6)

The version of me that survived was strong, but this season is teaching me how to rest in God’s strength instead of my own. I no longer need to operate in survival mode. “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Evolving means letting go of old patterns—overexplaining, overgiving, and shrinking myself to keep the peace. God is teaching me that boundaries are not rejection; they are obedience. “Let your ‘yes’ be yes, and your ‘no,’ no.” (Matthew 5:37)

I’m learning that becoming who God called me to be requires shedding who I needed to be just to survive. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)

Some people won’t recognize this version of me, but God does. And that is enough. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.” (Ephesians 2:10)

Today, I choose to trust the process.
Rooted in Him.
Rising by His grace.
