  • 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.

  • Woman, who are you?

    Woman, who are you?

    Take a moment. Breathe. Now, ask yourself this:

    Who are you?
    Not as a wife.
    Not as a mother.
    Not as a daughter.
    Not even by the name of your husband or father.

    Who are you, really?

    This is not just a question, it’s  holy pause in the noise of daily duties and expectations. It is a quiet invitation to come back to yourself.

    Too many of us have been raised, sometimes knowingly, sometimes silently to believe that our value, identity, and even salvation are tethered solely to the men in our lives. We were taught to serve, to give, to support. And while there is deep beauty and divine honor in being a wife and mother, those titles are not the whole of you.

    You were not created as a role. You were created as a soul.

    Your Identity Is In Christ, Not In Roles

    “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
    — Ephesians 2:10

    Before you were someone’s wife or someone’s mother, you were God’s. Designed with purpose. Shaped with intention. Equipped with gifts.

    So again, who are you?

    What dreams did God place in your heart when you were a little girl, long before marriage or motherhood?

    What skills lie dormant because you believed they didn’t “fit” the role you were taught to fill?

    Biblical Women With Purpose Beyond the Home

    • Deborah – A judge and prophetess (Judges 4–5). She led Israel into battle and brought peace to a nation.
    • Priscilla – A teacher of the gospel (Acts 18). She corrected and guided Apollos, a preacher, alongside her husband.
    • Lydia – A successful businesswoman (Acts 16). She dealt in purple cloth and supported the early church.
    • The Proverbs 31 Woman – Not just a wife and mother, but a businesswoman, investor, and leader:

      “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.” – Proverbs 31:16
      “She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.” – Proverbs 31:18

    She was not just waiting at the door with dinner. She was up early. Managing. Buying. Selling. Creating. Providing.

    You Are Allowed to Evolve

    Yes, nurture your family. Be the blessing your home needs. But remember this: you are allowed to evolve. To grow. To step into more.

    You are allowed to start that business.
    To return to school.
    To write the book.
    To serve others through your gifts.
    To chase the calling God whispered into your spirit.

    Motherhood and marriage are ministries, but they are not prisons.

    An Encouragement

    Sister, God is not asking you to forsake your family for your dreams. But He may be asking you to wake up to the fullness of what He put inside you.

    Ask Him:
    “Lord, show me who I am when the titles fall away. Remind me of my name, my essence, my purpose.”

    And then listen. Because He will answer.

    Amen
