What if the part of you you’ve been tempted to downplay… is exactly where God’s power wants to move?
The part of me I used to downplay… is where God moves most.
Last week, I shared a breakthrough about releasing the need for outside affirmation.
And I left you with this question:
What if your flaws aren’t the problem–but the very place where God’s power wants to move?
This truth has became deeply personal during my own recent breakthrough.
My needs matter, too.
And it’s more than okay that I’ve stepped into this new chapter as a life coach. In fact, it’s holy ground.
The path I’ve walked–through grief, reinvention, healing, and hope–is exactly what qualifies me.
Still… there are moments.
Moments when I quietly wonder:
“Who am I to do this?”
Not because I doubt the work.
But because this new expression of me doesn’t always make sense to those who’ve known me the longest.
The ones who love me, but still see through an older lens.
Who may not fully understand this calling–or how God is using it.
But here’s what I’ve come to stand in:
✅ God’s fingerprints are all over this.
✅ My story, my wiring, even my weaknesses–none of it is wasted.
✅ This isn’t a detour. It’s divine.
And that “flawed” part of me?
It’s not the obstacle.
It’s the opening.
The very evidence that it’s God’s power making what feels impossible… possible.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about receiving what’s already true.
You don’t have to hide your humanity to lead.
You don’t have to overperform to prove you’re ready.
You’re allowed to need.
To grow.
To rise.
💖 With grace,
