CLOCKS DON’T CONTROL CALLINGS

God is working while you’re waiting.

Let’s be clear waiting is not weakness.

Waiting is warfare.

Just because nothing is moving on the outside doesn’t mean God isn’t moving behind the scenes. The wait is where pressure is applied, focus is sharpened, and faith is tested. And most people quit right here because they mistake silence for absence.

But God works in the waiting.

When everything feels like it’s going against you, that’s usually the sign that something in you is being built. Strength doesn’t come from comfort. Clarity doesn’t come from ease. Growth comes from resistance.

“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31

Notice it doesn’t say they that rush.

It says they that wait.

The waiting season isn’t meant to break you, it’s meant to prepare you. Every delay is discipline. Every setback is setup. Every closed door is God forcing you to level up internally before He opens the next one externally.

I need you to hear this clearly:

Clocks don’t control callings.

Time doesn’t decide purpose.

Calendars don’t cancel destiny.

God doesn’t move on urgency, He moves on readiness.

You’re not stuck.

You’re being shaped.

You’re not losing time.

You’re gaining strength.

So hold the line.

Don’t fold because it’s hard.

Don’t panic because it’s slow.

Don’t walk away because it’s uncomfortable.

Pressure creates power.

Patience produces promotion.

Therefore, faith in the dark is what qualifies you for the light.

Your change is coming.

Your elevation is loading.

So when it hits, it won’t be random, it’ll be earned.

Stay ready.

Stay locked in.

Stay faithful.

The wait isn’t the enemy.

Quitting is.

 

GUSTO OVER GUARANTEES

The courage to be vulnerable has nothing to do with winning or losing.

It has everything to do with showing up when there are no guarantees.

No safety nets.

No applause.

No clear outcome.

Vulnerability isn’t weakness.

It’s stepping into the unknown knowing you can’t control how it ends and moving anyway.

That’s real courage.

Too many people wait until they feel ready.  Ready never comes.  They wait for certainty, clarity, confidence, confirmation. But growth doesn’t respond to comfort, it responds to conviction.

Sometimes the real test is having the courage to go for the GUSTO when you’re at the bottom.

When your back is against the wall.

When the score isn’t in your favor.

When your name isn’t ringing in rooms yet.

That’s when it matters most.

Because going all in when you’re winning is easy.  Going all in when you’re losing?

That’s identity.

That’s faith.

That’s belief under pressure.

If you aren’t willing to go all in on yourself, then who do you expect to do it for you?

No one is coming to rescue your potential.

No one is obligated to believe in your vision.

No one owes you a breakthrough.

GABOS.

The Game Ain’t Based On Sympathy.

The world doesn’t reward intentions, it rewards execution.  It doesn’t care how tired you are, how hard it’s been, or how unfair it feels.  It responds to movement.

Consistency.

Courage in action.

That doesn’t mean you harden your heart.

It means you harden your resolve.

You can be vulnerable and still relentless.

You can be honest and still hungry.

You can feel fear and still take the step.

Vulnerability says, “I don’t know how this ends.”

Courage says, “But I’m showing up anyway.”

So show up.

Messy.

Uncertain.

Undeniably committed.

Because the ones who change their lives aren’t the ones who waited for perfect conditions. They’re the ones who went for the GUSTO when all they had left was belief.

Best part about belief, is that when it’s backed by action, it is undefeated. 

 

The Silent Suffocation No One Talks About

Often times, we suffer in silence for so long that the suffering begins to suffocate us. What once felt manageable slowly becomes overwhelming, and before we realize it, success or even a sense of normal life feels impossibly out of reach.

Silence has a way of shrinking the world. When we keep everything bottled up, our problems don’t disappear; they grow heavier. We convince ourselves that no one would understand, that we should be stronger, that we’ll deal with it later. But later has a cost. The longer we stay quiet, the harder it becomes to breathe.

Many people don’t struggle because they lack talent, discipline, or potential. They struggle because they’re carrying too much alone.

Life has rough patches, seasons where the weight of responsibility, disappointment, grief, or uncertainty presses in from every direction. In those moments, isolation becomes dangerous. Not because you’re weak, but because humans were never designed to endure everything by themselves.

It’s essential to have someone you can talk to. Someone you can rely on when your thoughts become too loud and your vision becomes cloudy. That person doesn’t need to have all the answers. They just need to listen, remind you of who you are, and help you see that this moment isn’t the end of your story.

Having support doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re wise enough to recognize that strength includes vulnerability. Growth includes honesty. Healing includes community.

Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is say, “I’m not okay,” and allow someone else to help you breathe again.

If you’re in a season where life feels heavy, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out. Start the conversation. Let someone walk with you through the rough patch. Success and normalcy aren’t gone they’re just waiting on the other side of connection.

You don’t have to carry it alone.

 

Your Fight Will Not Be Forgotten

All your life, you’ve had to fight.

Fight against labels that never fit.

Fight against expectations that tried to shrink you.

Fight against circumstances that attempted to define your ceiling before you ever discovered your calling.

You didn’t ask for the battle but you showed up anyway and today, this is what you need to know:

Everything is going to be alright.

Not because the road was easy.

Not because the pain wasn’t real.

But because your fight mattered and it still does.

Trials Were Never Meant to Break You

Every trial you endured was never punishment.

It was preparation.

Every closed door, every delay, every setback was simply a test, not of your worth, but of your willingness to keep standing when quitting would’ve been understandable.

Here’s the truth many never realize until later:

Every test is designed to give birth to a testimony.

Your pain wasn’t wasted.

Your tears weren’t overlooked.

Your endurance wasn’t accidental.

The World Is Waiting on What You Survived

Now comes the real question:

Will you stand and deliver your testimony to the world?

Not everyone will understand it but someone desperately needs it.

Not everyone will celebrate it but someone will be saved by it.

Somebody is depending on what you lived through.

Somebody is searching for proof that survival is possible.

Somebody is praying for confirmation that the fight is worth it and whether you realize it or not, you are the answer.

Stop Hiding Behind Hurt

Pain has a way of convincing us to stay silent.

To shrink back.

To hide.

But hiding doesn’t heal, it delays.

The very thing you’re trying to protect yourself from is the doorway to your purpose. When you release the hurt, you release the power trapped inside it.

Let the story out.

Let the healing begin.

Let the impact unfold.

Trust the Process, You’re Not the Author

You were never meant to carry this alone.

The Author and Finisher of your fate is still writing and what looks unfinished, unclear, or unresolved right now is simply a chapter, not the conclusion.

Your job isn’t to control the outcome.

Your job is to show up, stand firm, and stay available.

Final Word

Your fight will not be forgotten.

Your voice will not be silenced.

Your testimony will not be wasted.

The time is now.

Stand.

Deliver.

Believe.

Because when you move in faith and refuse to think inside the box, a way will be made.
