  • When Strangers Support You More Than Family

    When Strangers Support You More Than Family

    There’s a quiet heartbreak that many content creators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries carry the pain of being unseen by the people closest to you.

    It’s something I recently experienced again with my blog.

    Every time I write, I pour in my heart, my time, my prayers. I write with women in mind, the ones who are seeking hope, direction, healing, or just a moment of peace with God. And yet, when I share these words with family, friends, people I’ve laughed with and prayed with, there’s often silence.

    No clicks. No reads. No reactions.


    Jetpack, the tracking tool I use, shows me the truth:
    It’s the strangers, the unknown faces on Facebook or random visitors from other countries who are actually reading my words.

    And sometimes that… hurts.

    Because deep down, we all hope that our loved ones will be our biggest supporters.
    But the truth is, sometimes they aren’t.

    It’s not about numbers. It’s not even about validation.
    It’s about the emotional ache of feeling overlooked by people who know your story, your sacrifices, your dreams.
    You think, “If they really cared… wouldn’t they at least click?”

    But here’s the uncomfortable truth I had to face:
    Familiarity can make people blind to your calling.

    They’ve seen you grow up. They’ve seen your flaws. So sometimes, they can’t reconcile the version of you they know with the version of you God is raising.

    💭Why Strangers Often See You First

    1. Strangers don’t carry bias.

    They don’t compare you to who you used to be. They meet you as you are today.

    2. God sometimes hides you on purpose.

    Not everyone is meant to see the early stages of your anointing. He reveals you to the ones who will receive you, not resist you.

    3. Your assignment isn’t always for your circle.

    Sometimes the people you’re called to impact are out there, not right here. And that’s okay. Jesus said a prophet is not without honour, except in their own hometown.

    💡My Decision: Releasing and Refocusing

    So I’ve decided:
    I’m no longer posting my blog on WhatsApp, hoping for support from people who may never engage.
    I’m shifting my energy to build real connections with the people who are showing up, the ones reading, commenting, subscribing, and being impacted.

    Not out of spite, but out of wisdom.
    Not from offense, but from clarity.

    🙏🏽A Word for You

    If you’re reading this and nodding through tears, I want to encourage you:

    Don’t stop.
    Don’t shrink.
    Don’t wait for applause from a room God never assigned to you.

    Keep writing.
    Keep building.
    Keep showing up for the strangers, because they might just become your strongest community.

    And one day, those same friends and family may come around. And if they do  welcome them with grace, but don’t let their timing dictate your movement.

    You’ve got something powerful inside you. Let God decide who sees it and when.

    You are seen.
    You are called.
    And your voice matters, even if they don’t click.

    With love,

  • Your Past Has Expired — You’ve Outgrown That Room

    There are moments in life when God lets us revisit the past, not to stay there, but to realize just how far we’ve come.

    Sometimes it happens in a conversation, a memory, or even a dream. Suddenly you’re back in an old environment. Maybe a room you used to sit in. A crowd you used to blend into. A system you once believed in. But this time, something feels… different.

    • You don’t quite fit anymore.
    • You don’t recognize the people.
    • You feel out of place — like a visitor in your own history.

    And that’s when God whispers:
    “This is not your room anymore. You’ve outgrown this place.”

    Old Rooms, New Revelations

    It’s wild how we can cling to old titles, old beliefs, old labels, simply because they feel familiar. But God is not in the business of keeping you in comfort zones. He’s in the business of transformation.

    You may have once needed that place. It may have even helped shape your foundation. But growth requires movement. And God loves you too much to let you shrink yourself just to keep others comfortable.

    “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
    – Isaiah 43:18–19 (NKJV)

    Letting Go Doesn’t Mean Disrespect

    Walking away from an old room doesn’t mean dishonor. It means obedience.

    You can love people and still leave places that no longer align with who God is calling you to be. You can honor your roots and still pursue your rise. Some rooms served a purpose for a season, but the season has changed — and so have you.

    A Prayer for When You Feel the Tug

    Lord, give me the courage to walk away from the past without guilt.
    Show me where You are now.
    Help me not to grieve expired places, but to step boldly into the “new thing” You are doing in my life.
    Remind me that growth is not betrayal, it’s obedience.
    In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Final Thought

    If you’ve been feeling stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this is your confirmation: It’s okay to move forward. You don’t belong in that old room anymore. Not because you’re better, but because you’re becoming.

    And trust me, what God has prepared for you ahead is far greater than what you’re leaving behind.
