You’re not behind.
You’re being built in silence. Keep going.
There’s a certain type of loneliness that comes from feeling out of pace.
Like everyone else is arriving at destinations you haven’t even found on the map yet.
I know that feeling too well, the quiet panic that whispers,
“You’re late. You’re slow. You’re missing something.”
But God revealed something to me in one of my quietest seasons:
Construction doesn’t make noise until the structure is ready to stand.
Your growth is happening in the unseen places,
inside your discipline,
inside your patience,
inside the new boundaries you’re learning to create,
inside the identity God is shaping in you.
You are not behind.
You are being built.
And buildings built quietly often stand the longest.
Keep going.
Your silence is not emptiness, it’s preparation.
