DOORS I CRIED OVER

Not every delay is denial. Some delays are protection.

There were doors I cried over.

Opportunities I begged God for.

Relationships I wanted to force open.

Every “no” felt like rejection

but now, looking back, I see they were shields.

I didn’t know that the job I wanted would have drained me.

I didn’t know that the person I prayed for would have broken me.

I didn’t know the path I wanted so badly would have led me into valleys I wasn’t ready for.

So God delayed me.

He slowed the process.

He interrupted my timeline.

Not to frustrate me

but to preserve me.

Delays are often the fences God puts around your destiny

so that nothing harmful can slip in unnoticed.

If only we saw what He sees,

we would thank Him more for the doors that never opened

than for the ones that did.

GOD SLOWS YOU DOWN

Sometimes God slows you down so He can show you what you were too busy to notice. There was a season in my life when everything felt like it was moving backwards. Plans that once flowed easily began to stumble. Doors I thought would open effortlessly suddenly became heavy. I kept asking, “God, why are You slowing me down when I’m finally ready to run?” But the more I struggled to push forward, the more life insisted that I pause. And in that stillness, the one I didn’t choose I started to see what I had been too busy to notice. I noticed the habits that were draining my strength. I noticed the people who clapped for me publicly but resented me privately. I noticed the warning signs I had ignored because I was too focused on getting ahead. I noticed me, the me I had been neglecting. God wasn’t punishing me. He was protecting me. He was whispering, “Slow down. Let Me show you what you missed.” And what I saw in that pause changed everything. Sometimes the slowdow...
