Becoming Who You Were Always Meant to Be
Trusting God's Process of Unfolding, Not Forcing
Becoming isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about uncovering who you’ve always been underneath the fear, the striving, the expectations.
For so long, I thought I had to create myself from scratch.
Build the brand. Build the body. Build the life.
Force it into existence through hustle, discipline, and doing “enough.”
But what I didn’t realize then—was that God wasn’t asking me to build anything.
He was asking me to become.
And becoming isn’t about forcing.
It’s about unfolding.
It's about peeling back the layers you built to protect yourself.
It's about surrendering the identities you wore to survive.
It's about trusting that God already planted everything you need inside you—before you ever knew to ask for it.
If you're in a season of waiting, stretching, or feeling stuck—maybe you're not stuck at all.
Maybe you're simply unfolding.
Maybe you're exactly where you're meant to be.
Becoming isn't loud.
It isn't flashy.
It often happens in the quiet spaces—the unseen spaces—the deeply personal spaces where only you and God can see the work He's doing.
You don’t have to rush it.
You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to “figure it all out.”
You simply have to keep saying yes.
Yes to healing.
Yes to trusting.
Yes to being molded by the Potter’s hands instead of trying to control the outcome.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are not forgotten.
You are becoming—beautifully, intentionally, and exactly on time.
Reflection:
Take five minutes today to reflect:
→ Where have you been trying to force progress instead of trusting the process?
→ What would it feel like to simply allow yourself to unfold instead of hustle your way forward?
Write it down—then release it back to Him.
I'd Love to Hear From You:
What’s one area of your life where you’re learning to surrender the timeline and trust God's unfolding?
Share your reflection or simply reply back—I’m walking this journey with you too.
Reminder:
If no one has told you today…
You are not failing.
You are not falling behind.
You are becoming.
Trust His timing.
Trust His process.
Trust that what He’s building in you is better than anything you could build on your own.
XO,
Rachel
