The Beauty of Being Unfinished (Blog Post)

-

Let’s be real for a second. Life can feel like one relentless rollercoaster. The highs make us feel unstoppable, and the lows leave us wondering if we’ll ever find solid ground again. Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of the in-between—the moments when life is just lifeing. The grind doesn’t stop, the questions don’t let up, and sometimes it feels like I’m carrying bags I don’t remember packing.

But here’s the truth I’m clinging to: God is still God-ing.

Even when my plans unravel, He’s still weaving His masterpiece. Even when I feel like I’ve hit a wall, He’s creating a door. He’s God-ing in the chaos, in the stillness, in the waiting.

I won’t lie; there have been days when I’ve felt undone—like the broken pieces of my life could never form something beautiful. But then I remember that this is His specialty. He’s the potter, and I’m the clay. The chiseling, the refining, the stretching—it’s all part of the process. And the promise? He who began a good work in me isn’t going to leave it unfinished.

When the Wait Feels Heavy

There’s something about the waiting that tests you. It’s not the loud storms that challenge my faith the most—it’s the quiet uncertainty. It’s when you’ve prayed the prayer, fasted the fast, and still nothing seems to shift. That’s where the real work happens. That’s where faith is forged.

Maybe you’re in that space right now. Maybe life feels like it’s doing the most, and you’re just trying to keep your head above water. Can I remind you of something today? The same God who spoke galaxies into existence is holding your life together. The same God who calmed the raging sea sees your tears, hears your prayers, and is already working it out.

The Beauty of Being Unfinished

I used to think being unfinished was a weakness. I wanted to present the polished version of myself to the world—the strong, capable, put-together woman who had it all figured out. But God isn’t asking for the highlight reel. He wants the raw, unfiltered, vulnerable pieces of me—the ones that remind me I can’t do this without Him.

So if you feel unfinished today, you’re in good company. The waiting, the struggle, the messy middle—it’s all part of the good work He’s doing in you. And here’s the best part: God finishes what He starts. Every setback, every detour, every moment you feel like you’ve lost your way—it’s all working together for your good.

Prayer for Today

Lord,

Thank You for being the God who never stops working. Even when life feels heavy and uncertain, I trust that You’re still moving. Help me to see You in the details—the little moments where Your faithfulness shines through. Give me the strength to endure the process, the patience to wait on Your timing, and the faith to believe that You’re not finished with me yet.

Father, remind me that Your plans for me are good, even when the path feels unclear. Keep my heart anchored in Your promises, and help me to release the burdens I was never meant to carry. In the waiting, in the struggle, and in the unknown, let me rest in the truth that You are still God!

In Jesus’ name, Amen. 


My Weekend Playlist

Music has a way of speaking to the parts of us that words can’t reach. It reminds us of God’s faithfulness when life feels heavy and fills the quiet spaces with hope and strength. As we head into the weekend, I’m sharing what’s been on my playlist—songs that remind me He’s still working, even when the process feels unfinished.

Sunday Night Blog: Perfect Peace

-

This week was a whirlwind. A beautiful, exhausting, exhilarating whirlwind. I launched one of the most personal books I’ve ever written,  a book that carries pieces of me between its pages,  and with it came the podcast, the interviews, the late nights, and the full schedule. I knew it was going to be busy. I knew the weight of what I was releasing. And I knew if I wasn’t intentional, peace would slip through my fingers before I even had the chance to hold it. So I made a decision before the chaos hit. I decided that peace wasn’t going to be an afterthought; it was going to be a priority. I wouldn’t wait until I felt overwhelmed to go looking for it. I was going to guard my peace before the storm rolled in. That meant taking deep breaths when my mind started racing, whispering “God, I trust You” when the pressure crept in, and refusing to let anxiety run my schedule. It meant knowing that I don’t have to carry what God has already covered. And now, on this Sunday night, as I ...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Five

  Day 5: The Wedding Day – Stepping Into the Promise Scripture: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." —Revelation 19:7 (NIV) Devotional: The waiting is over. The long nights, the prayers, the preparation, it all led to this. The bride stands at the altar, fully dressed, fully prepared, fully ready . She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t question if she belongs here. She knows this moment was always meant to be. But how many of us pray for the promise, only to freeze when it finally arrives? We question whether we’re qualified, whether we’re worthy, and whether we can truly handle what we’ve been waiting for. But sis, let me remind you,  God didn’t bring you this far to leave you standing at the altar in fear. The same God who prepared you for this moment is the same God who will carry you through it. Every delay, every lesson, every “not yet” was God making sure you’d be ready when the doo...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Four

  Day 4: The Wedding Rehearsal – Preparing in Faith Scripture: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." —Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Devotional: Before the big day, there’s a rehearsal. A walk-through. A moment to act like it’s already happening before it actually does. The bride doesn’t wait until the wedding day to figure things out; she steps into the rehearsal fully believing that the real thing is on its way. She practices her steps, fixes her posture, and moves with confidence because she knows it’s coming. And that’s exactly what faith looks like. Faith isn’t waiting until the door opens to get ready; it’s preparing before you even see it happen. It’s walking like it’s yours before it’s placed in your hands. It’s making room, shifting your mindset, and putting things in order as if you already have the answer in front of you. Sis, are you waiting or are you preparing ? Because there’s a difference. One sits still, hoping somethi...
