Wake Up The Warrior In Me

10/24/2025

There comes a moment in every woman’s journey when God whispers, “Daughter, it’s time.”
Time to stop saying yes when your heart says no.
Time to stop fixing what was never yours to mend.
Time to stop shrinking to fit places you’ve outgrown.

Transformation in Christ isn’t about becoming someone new to please others — it’s about awakening to who God already designed you to be. When you begin to walk in your worth and your boundaries, people may say, “You’ve changed.” But what really happened is that you woke up to His truth.

Ephesians 5:14 says, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
When His light touches your soul, you begin to see things clearly — your peace, your calling, your value. You start protecting what God restored in you. That’s not pride; that’s wisdom.

So today, don’t apologize for your growth. Don’t feel guilty for protecting your peace.
You didn’t just change — you woke up.
And that awakening is holy. 🌸

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for awakening me to who You created me to be. Give me strength to walk in truth, grace, and peace — with boundaries rooted in Your love. Amen.

Even the strongest warriors grow weary. The armor may shine, but beneath it is a heart that still needs healing.
We fight battles every day — battles of the mind, the spirit, and the heart — but the truth is, we were never meant to fight alone.

Ephesians 6 reminds us that our strength comes from the Lord, not from our own might. He is our armor — our protection, our shield, our covering.
When we finally lay down our sword and whisper, “I can’t do this anymore,” He steps in and says,
“My child, I never asked you to. Let Me be your strength. Let Me fight for you.”

A true warrior knows when to stand firm and when to kneel — because surrender isn’t defeat when you’re kneeling before the King.

Sometimes we find ourselves walking through the very things we once begged God to protect us from. 💔 The heartbreak, the loss, the betrayal, the waiting—it’s not what we prayed for. But even here, we are not alone.

The same God who heard our prayers to avoid the valley is the One who now walks beside us through it. He hasn’t abandoned us; He’s guiding us, comforting us, and strengthening us with every step. 🌿

Psalm 23 reminds us that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for He is with us. The Shepherd never leaves His sheep—especially not in the dark.

So if you’re in a season you never wanted, take heart. God is still good, still faithful, and still leading you toward something beautiful on the other side. 🤍

We must be careful to not confuse our altars and our attachments, as this can be a stepping stone for the enemy that can quickly turn into a mountain/stronghold .

In Scripture, God’s people built altars — not to hold on to people, places, or moments, but to remember God’s presence and the work He had done there

Every altar was a place of surrender, gratitude, and worship — a reminder that God met them there, but that they couldn’t stay there forever.

Too often, we build attachments where we were meant to build altars.
We cling to seasons, relationships, or places where God once moved, trying to relive what was, instead of releasing it and moving toward what is next.

Abraham didn’t stay at the altar; he kept walking with God.
Jacob didn’t live at Bethel; he left changed.
Even the disciples couldn’t stay on the Mount of Transfiguration — Jesus led them down the mountain to continue the mission.

But here’s where we must be watchful:
The enemy loves to blur the line between altars and attachments.
He whispers that something temporary should be permanent — or that something sacred should be disposable.
He confuses surrender with abandonment and commitment with captivity.

That’s why discernment is vital.
An altar is where we honor God and what He’s joined.
An attachment is where we idolize what He’s asked us to release.

Marriage, for instance, is not an attachment to lay down when it’s hard — it’s a lasting altar of covenant before God.
It’s a sacred place of continual surrender, forgiveness, and faithfulness — a living symbol of Christ’s love for His Church.
But unhealthy ties, old wounds, or comfort zones that keep us from obeying God — those are attachments we must lay down at His feet.

When we confuse the two, we risk calling bo***ge “loyalty” or calling faithfulness “foolishness.”
We must stay close to the Word so we can tell the difference.

Attachments say, “I can’t let this go.”
Altars say, “God, I give this to You.”

When we build true altars — and refuse false attachments — we make room for God to breathe fresh life into what He has established and to bring new encounters with His presence.
Because the same God who met you there is faithful to meet you here — and again in what’s to come

“Then Abram built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.”
— Genesis 12:7

“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
— Mark 10:9

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
— 1 John 4:1

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
— Isaiah 43:18–19

Lord, help us to discern between altars and attachments.
Keep us from calling temporary things permanent or from abandoning the covenants You’ve established.
Teach us to surrender what hinders and to tend what’s holy.
May our hearts be a faithful altar, where You alone are worshiped and Your truth is not confused by emotion or deception.
Amen.

🕊 Where has the enemy tried to blur the line between what God asked you to release and what He asked you to remain faithful to?

Walking along the shore, I’m always drawn to the broken shells now scattered in the sand. Once tossed and turned by the waves, weathered by the tide, and shaped by time, they may no longer look “perfect” by the world’s standards. Yet, their beauty is undeniable—each crack tells a story, each curve reflects resilience.

In many ways, we are like those shells. Life tosses us, trials break us, and the waves seem unending. But in the hands of our Creator, the brokenness becomes beauty. God does not discard us when we’re cracked or worn. Instead, He sees us as His masterpiece, treasured and purposeful.

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

So today, may those broken shells remind us: even in our fractured places, God’s love makes us whole. We are His beautiful, broken, and beloved creation.

Tonight’s conversations about our beautiful pieces in the hands of our Father was absolutely encouraging. I love our tribe. 💞

Tonight was such a sweet reminder of God’s truth. In our escape room activity, we were reminded of the promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13—that even in times of temptation, the Lord will always provide a way of escape. 🙏✨

And for anyone walking through a hard season—hold on to this promise: no matter the trial, God is faithful, and He will always make a way. 🌿
