In this episode, I share a quiet reflection on alignment—the kind that doesn’t arrive through striving, but through stillness.
Over the past season, I stepped back, sat more deeply with God, and allowed Him to tend to places within me that had been holding weight for far too long. In the midst of uncertainty, transition, and unanswered questions, I discovered something sacred: alignment isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about being rooted.
This conversation isn’t a lesson or a checklist.
It’s a testimony of what God can build in us when we stop performing and start trusting.
If you’ve ever felt like you were searching for yourself, hiding behind what felt safe, or learning how to stand firm while everything around you felt unsteady—this reflection is for you.
May it remind you that God is at work in you, even in the quiet.
Scripture referenced
Romans 8:31
Psalm 27:1
Closing Reflection
Wisdom isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it looks like staying rooted while God builds you from the inside out.
Never let anyone or anything stop you from blooming.
There is something great inside of you that others need.
Dare to just be you.
