“You’re not broken. You’re just being recalibrated by the One who never stops working behind the scenes.”
-E. H Abraham
I read a news story today that, honestly, most people would scroll right past.
An escalator in a Nottingham shopping centre broke down and stopped mid-motion.
No injuries. No drama. Just… stuck.
People had to walk around it. Some huffed. Others shrugged.
Maintenance was called. They fixed it. End of story.
But for some reason, I couldn’t stop thinking about that escalator.
Because I’ve felt like her.
And maybe you have too.
You were rising, in purpose, in motherhood, in calling, in business, in healing.
You had momentum.
But then, something shifted.
You didn’t crash.
You didn’t collapse.
You just… stalled.
And the world, much like that shopping centre, kept moving.
People passed by. Life went on.
But there you were, mid-step, mid-project, mid-promise, wondering, What happened to my flow?
As women, especially women of faith, we carry so much.
We climb with bags full of dreams, diapers, deadlines, devotionals, and silent prayers.
So when we pause, when our rhythm breaks, we don’t always give ourselves permission to breathe.
But God does.
He doesn’t mock the pause.
He enters it.
Sometimes, He allows the “stuck” to become sacred.
A moment to reset.
To be reminded: You’re not broken. You’re being recalibrated.
Even escalators need maintenance.
And so do we, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically.
If you feel like your life has paused mid-journey, hear this:
God has not forgotten you.
You are still called. Still chosen. Still rising.
Let Him do the inner work. Let the Holy Spirit come in like divine maintenance.
And when it’s time, you’ll move again, with fresh oil and restored strength.
With love and grace
