🤍💜What Does God Say About Waiting?

Can I ask you something?

Have you ever prayed about something for so long that you started wondering if God was even listening?

You're not the only one.

Waiting can be frustrating.

Especially when you've done everything you know to do, but nothing seems to be changing.

The truth is, waiting doesn't always mean God has forgotten you.

Sometimes, He's using that season to prepare you.

Think about a farmer.

The day a seed is planted isn't the day it becomes a harvest.

It needs time.

It needs water.

It needs care.

In the same way, some of the things we're praying for need time to grow.

That doesn't mean you should stop praying.

It also doesn't mean you should sit and do nothing.

Keep praying.

Keep learning.

Keep showing up.

Keep doing the little things you can do today.

Because faith isn't only about believing God will do something.

It's also about being faithful with what He's already placed in your hands.

If you're in a waiting season today, don't lose hope.

A delayed answer is not always a denied answer.

Sometimes, growth is happening where your eyes cannot yet see it.

"Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength..." – Isaiah 40:31

Keep trusting Him.

He's still working, even when it doesn't feel like it.

💜🤍How Do You Know You're Gaining Weight the Healthy Way?

Can I ask you something?

Let's say you've been trying to gain weight for a few weeks now.

You discover you've gained a little weight.

You smile.

But... how do you know it's actually healthy weight gain?

Most of us get excited the moment we notice we've added a few kilos. I understand that feeling.

But healthy weight gain isn't just about seeing your weight go up.

It's also about how you feel.

Are your clothes fitting better?

Do you have more energy during the day?

Are you eating balanced meals instead of forcing yourself to eat anything you can find?

Are you expecting your body to change too quickly because you want fast results?

Those are the kinds of questions that matter too.

One thing I always tell women is this:

Don't let the number on your weight be the only way you measure your progress.

Your body is more than a number.

Healthy weight gain takes consistency.

It takes nourishing your body with good food, getting enough rest, staying active, and giving yourself time.

And please, don't compare how fast your body is changing to another woman's body.

Some women gain weight faster.

Others need a little more time.

That doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.

So if you're wondering whether you're gaining weight the healthy way, don't only ask,

"Have I gained weight?"

Also ask yourself,

"Is my body becoming healthier?"

Sometimes, that's the better question.
