Life has a way of testing our resilience—of bringing us to moments where the weight feels unbearable, where the road ahead looks uncertain. And in these times, it’s easy to feel alone, lost, or worn down by the circumstances.

Recently, I’ve had to make a difficult decision regarding my book’s publication. The journey with my publisher, while valuable for a season, was no longer the right fit for where this book needed to go. Making the choice to step away was heartbreaking, but necessary. This transition means unexpected delays, moments of uncertainty, and a deep test of patience.

But even in disappointment, I remind myself: God never stops working. We not alone, and we were not meant to carry our burdens by ourselves.

When trials press in, that’s where strength is built. It’s in the waiting, the trusting, and the moments when faith feels hard, that we grow deeper roots. No storm lasts forever, and even when the skies seem endlessly gray, the sun never stops shining—it is only temporarily hidden.

You are stronger than this season. You are held by grace. You are being guided even when the path is unclear.

Whatever you are walking through, remind yourself of this:

• Your struggles are not your identity.
• This moment will pass. It will not define your entire story.
• Growth comes through the hardest seasons.
• There is purpose in the waiting.

God never sleeps nor slumbers. His hand is over you, even in the unknown, even in the delays, even in the disappointments. There is light ahead, and every step you take—no matter how small—is leading you to it.

Hold on to hope, because breakthrough is coming. Keep pressing forward, because you were made for something greater than this struggle. You are loved, you are seen, and you are not forgotten.

Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

Lean into Him. Let His peace be your anchor. The storm will pass, and you will rise stronger than before.

As always, stay blessed!
