Out of Sight, Out the Way

I’ve grown to love being out of sight and out of the way.

In a world addicted to visibility, there’s something revolutionary about choosing stillness over spectacle.

I no longer feel compelled to announce every move or chase every invitation. Some things are too sacred to be performed.

This season has been a quiet undoing.

An unraveling of expectations I never should have carried. An unlearning of habits that kept me hustling for validation instead of resting in truth.

Layer by layer, the noise has fallen away, leaving me face-to-face with the woman God was shaping beneath it all.

The pace has slowed.

The moments have softened.

And somewhere between the silence and the surrender, I discovered that growth doesn’t always bang on the front door.

Sometimes it arrives barefoot, settles gently beside you, and teaches you that peace is more valuable than connection.

I’m no longer interested in being in spaces where I’m not appreciated.

I’m interested in being aligned.

Because roots don’t make a sound while they’re growing, yet they’re the very reason the tree survives the storm.

So if I seem distant, unseen, or tucked away, don’t mistake my absence for inactivity. I’m not disappearing. I’m discovering.

And when this season has finished its work, it won’t be the spotlight that reveals the transformation. It will be the quiet strength forged in the dark, where no one was watching but God.

Broken Covenant

Once upon a time— I wanted to believe something was real so desperately that I silenced the Spirit within me just to keep the illusion alive. I saw every red flag— not as warnings, but as tests of how much I was willing to endure to feel chosen. I asked no questions because truth was already whispering, and I feared what obedience would cost me. So I made a covenant with denial— calling lies “grace,” and confusion “patience,” because the truth felt too vast, too holy, too disruptive to the future I had built in my mind. I clung to potential like it was promise, and mistook absence for peace. Yet the weight of it— this thing I called love— crushed my spirit daily. Still, desperation dressed itself as loyalty and convinced me to stay. And it didn’t get better. It decayed. Quietly at first… then unmistakably. Each time God unveiled truth, I chose the comfort of shadows over the calling of light. I pleaded. I prayed. I begged— not for revelation, but for permission to remain where I w...

From Chaos to Calm

After a while… the need to be heard at full volume begins to dissolve. The rooftops grow silent. The flames you once fed with trembling hands no longer feel like power— only exhaustion. What you burned never built a home. And somewhere along the way, you realize— not every echo returns, not every seed takes root, not every mountain was yours to climb. The grace you poured out like water in a desert, the love you offered with open, unguarded hands— it did not come back the way you imagined. And still… you are here. So instead of fighting what refuses to bend, you loosen your grip. Not in defeat— but in awakening. You release the need to be answered, to be chosen, to be understood by those who never learned your language. Your hands, once reaching outward, begin to rise— not in desperation, but in devotion. Upward. Open. Steady. God… I see You now in the quiet I once avoided. I hear You not in the thunder— but in the space where my striving used to live. And I am ready. Something within ...

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)

What unsettles me most about some people is not the harm they cause— but the silence that follows it. No conviction. No trembling. No evidence that a soul was ever stirred. As if something sacred once lived there… and quietly left. What remains is form without fire. A body that breathes, but does not feel . A Walking corpse. Spiritually vacant, yet socially skilled— fluent in imitation, but foreign to truth. They move through people like weather— touching everything, anchoring nowhere. I once mistook that emptiness for mystery. Confused detachment with depth. Thought restraint was discipline, when it was really disconnection. But there was no rootedness in him— only appetite. An endless hunger dressed as desire. A man grazing on bodies, scrolling through souls like they were disposable moments. Not searching. Not building. Just consuming— to quiet something unnamed within him. Unhealed wounds don’t stay still. They wander. From bed to bed, from face to face, from high ...
