What I’ve Learned About Waiting on God


Waiting is not easy.


If I’m being honest, it can be one of the hardest things we are called to do.


Waiting for healing…

Waiting for answers…

Waiting for doors to open…

Waiting for things to make sense…


I’ve spent a lot of time in seasons of waiting.


Waiting through grief.

Waiting through health struggles.

Waiting for direction in life.


And what I’ve learned is this…


Waiting is not wasted time.


God is working, even when we don’t see it.


Sometimes He is preparing the situation.

Sometimes He is preparing us.


I’ve learned that waiting stretches your faith.


It teaches you to trust God when you don’t have control.

It teaches you to lean on Him instead of your own understanding.


And that’s not always easy.


There are days I want answers now.

There are days I get tired of waiting.


But every time I choose to trust Him, I grow stronger.


I’ve also learned that while we wait, we still move forward.


We take small steps.

We do what we can.

We stay faithful in the little things.


And we trust that God will open doors at the right time—doors no one can shut.


So if you are in a waiting season right now, don’t lose heart.


God sees you.

God knows.

And He is working behind the scenes.


Keep trusting.

Keep praying.

Keep moving forward.


💙 “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.” — Psalm 27:14


Have a blessed day 💕

What Does It Mean to Be Christ-Like? Being Christ-like is more than a title we claim—it is a life we live. In the Bible, being Christ-like means reflecting Jesus’ character, attitudes, and actions . It means embodying radical love, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice—even toward those who hurt us or oppose us. It is a daily transformation of the heart, led by the Holy Spirit, as we become more like Him. Being Christ-like is not about following rules or appearing religious. It is about carrying the heart of Jesus —a servant’s heart. It’s about letting the world see Christ in us through how we love, forgive, serve, and walk in obedience to God. Jesus taught us to love not only our neighbors, but also our enemies: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 Christ-likeness means humility—laying aside pride and choosing obedience: “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus…” — Philippians 2:5...

Key Facts About Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes is an invisible, lifelong autoimmune disease that affects millions of people, yet many still don’t understand what it truly is. Here are some important facts everyone should know: • Autoimmune disease: Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. • Insulin is essential for survival: People with Type 1 must take insulin every day through injections or an insulin pump. Insulin cannot be taken as a pill because stomach acid destroys it. • Symptoms can appear suddenly: Increased thirst and urination, extreme hunger, sudden weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision are common warning signs. • Can occur at any age: While often diagnosed in children, teens, and young adults, Type 1 can develop at ANY stage of life. • Not preventable: There is currently no known way to prevent Type 1 Diabetes. • Requires lifelong management: Proper care helps people with Type...

 🎥 Keeping It Real Making It Through Mother’s Day After Loss 💙 Mother’s Day can be beautiful… but it can also be incredibly hard when you’ve lost a child. This Mother’s Day has brought a lot of emotions for me. I miss my daughter deeply, and there are moments when the grief still feels very heavy. There’s an emptiness that comes with losing a child that never fully goes away. But by the grace of God, I’m making it through one moment at a time. 🙏 And while my heart misses my daughter here on earth, I’m also thankful for the blessings God has still given me. I still have my handsome son, and I have three beautiful grandchildren that I love with all my heart. 💕 They bring joy, smiles, and reminders that even after loss, life still holds precious moments. Grief and gratitude can exist together. You can miss someone deeply while still being thankful for the people who are still here. That’s something God has been teaching me. Mother’s Day may look different now, but I trust that God...
