Patience ain’t easy. It stretches you. It makes you feel uncomfortable, and it can feel downright painful at times. You see people around you getting what you’ve been praying for, and you wonder why God is taking so long. But here’s the truth: patience builds character, and character builds capacity. You are being stretched and expanded right now so that when your moment comes, you can handle it with grace, strength, and stability.
When we don’t practice patience, we often act out of fear or impatience, which leads to settling. We make decisions based on what’s in front of us now instead of waiting for what’s ahead. Trust me, sis, settling is easier than waiting, but it won’t bring you peace. In the long run, it’ll leave you disappointed and empty. God is asking you to wait because He has something better — and it’s worth the wait.
So, today, I want you to think about your patience as a gift, not a burden. God is preparing you for the bigger blessing, and while you wait, He’s working. You might not see it, but every day you wait in faith, you’re building the resilience and strength you need for what’s ahead. Don’t rush the process. Trust the waiting.

With love, truth, and the kind of grace that doesn’t sugarcoat,

Chiiiile… let’s get into it. I know waiting is hard. That’s an understatement, right? We’ve all been there — praying for a breakthrough, waiting for that next opportunity, watching everyone else’s life move forward, and wondering, “When is it gonna be my turn, Lord?” And in those moments, patience feels like a foreign concept. We live in a world of instant gratification where waiting feels like a weakness, like maybe you’re falling behind. But hear me, sis: patience isn’t a sign of delay — it’s a sign of trust.
