Tola used to post every milestone,
Every new job, every answered prayer, every small win.
But lately, she went silent.
No updates, no long captions, no “God did it” posts.
People began to wonder, “Is she okay?”
But she was.
She had just discovered a different kind of peace,
the kind that doesn’t need to prove, just to exist.
You see, there’s a glow that doesn’t come from filters or flashlights.
It comes from a quiet place — where you stop explaining and start trusting.
Where you realize you don’t need to announce what God is still building.
Sometimes, silence isn’t emptiness, it’s growth in progress.
God often does His best work in hidden places,
where applause can’t distract you and comparison can’t reach you.
Tola stopped trying to prove her light and started protecting her peace.
And slowly, she noticed something, she was glowing differently.
Not loudly. Not publicly.
But inwardly. Deeply. Beautifully.
Because there’s a kind of glow that comes only from surrender,
from knowing your worth even when no one is watching,
from being content even when no one is clapping.
So, if you’re in your quiet season, don’t despise it.
The world may not see it, but Heaven does.
And soon, your glow will speak louder than any caption.
