You may not be able to see it yet — but something is happening beneath the surface. The woman you’re becoming is already in motion, already being shaped by everything this season is asking of you. This is a conversation about her. And she’s closer than you think.

God: Wait until you see who you’re about to become.

You: What do you mean?

You’re closer than you think. Keep trusting the process.

– Jacqueline Whitney

God: The version of you that’s about to emerge from this season is unlike anyone you’ve ever been. She’s softer where she used to be hard. Stronger where she used to be afraid. Clearer about what she wants. Surer of her worth.

You: I don’t feel like I’m becoming anyone new.

God: That’s because growth is happening underneath the surface. You can’t always see it while you’re in it. But I see her. The woman you’re growing into. And she’s incredible.

You: What is she like?

God: She doesn’t apologize for taking up space. She doesn’t shrink to make others comfortable. She trusts her gut. She walks away from what doesn’t serve her. She receives love without sabotaging it. She believes me when I tell her she’s worth it.

You: When will I meet her?

God: You’re closer than you think. Keep showing up. Keep choosing yourself. Keep trusting the process. She’s almost here.
