You’ll Get There — One Step at a Time

Written from the heart. For anyone who’s been wondering if they’re on the right path.

It’s been a while since I wrote something like this.

When God told me to start writing, I honestly didn’t think much of it. I started right here—blogging quietly, just pouring out my heart. Then I took that step of obedience further, sharing on Instagram and even TikTok.

It hasn’t been easy.

When you’re called to create or speak or encourage, and you’re doing it from a place of healing, it can feel like you’re walking on water—unsure if the next step will hold. But you keep walking anyway, because something in you believes.

Still, there are days.
Days when the silence feels too loud.
Days when engagement is low.
Days when the enemy whispers,
“Are you even doing the right thing?”

This post is for that moment—and for anyone living in it right now.

How You Know It’s the Holy Spirit

One thing the Holy Spirit has taught me is this: God doesn’t lead with fear.
His correction isn’t abusive. His instruction never feels like punishment.
Even when He checks you, it’s with love and clarity, not with guilt and confusion.

The voice of the Spirit always aligns with His nature:

He edifies.

He comforts.

He guides.

He brings peace.

He won’t drag you into shame.
He won’t push you with fear.
And He definitely won’t lead you to regret your obedience.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Was that God?”—measure the fruit.
Because the Spirit of God brings life. Always.

And for those who may not yet consider themselves “religious” or “Christian”—you can still recognize this. Ask yourself:

> Does this voice in my heart build me up or tear me down? Does it push me toward love, or does it trap me in fear?

The answer will always help you recognize truth.

Be Gentle With Yourself

Today, I didn’t come to say anything complicated or deep.
I just came to tell you what the Holy Spirit told me this morning:

> Be gentle with yourself.
Take it one step at a time.
You’re not failing. You’re growing.
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
You’re not alone. God is right there beside you.

Whatever the calling is, however small the steps feel, they matter.
Whether you’re writing, singing, parenting, building, healing, or just surviving one day at a time—you’re doing better than you think.

God is not in a rush.
He’s not mad at your pace.
He’s just walking with you, cheering you on, whispering,

> “Keep going, child. You’ll get there.”

And you will.
In His time. In His grace.
One step at a time.

The little act of kindness.

How do you express your gratitude?

Sometimes, gratitude isn’t loud. It’s not always found in big worship moments or long thank-you prayers. Sometimes, it shows up quietly—in the little acts of kindness we offer others even while we’re still healing ourselves.

Gratitude is when you’ve known pain, but you still choose to be gentle.
Gratitude is when you’ve lacked love, but you still choose to give it.
It’s when you show up for someone, not because you have it all together, but because you remember what it felt like when no one showed up for you.
That’s the Beauty for Ashes way:
We don’t wait to be fully healed before we love.
We don’t wait to have everything before we give something.
We love from our scars.
We give from our journey.
We shine, even while we’re still rising.
Kindness becomes our thank-you to God—
A way of saying:
“I haven’t forgotten where You brought me from. And even though I’m still becoming, I’m willing to be a blessing anyway.”
So yes, gratitude is in the thank-You prayers.
But it’s also in the hug you give.
The message you send.
The softness you carry.
The peace you choose.
That’s healing. That’s worship. That’s beauty for ashes.

BeautyForAshes…

I am a very good example of someone who has been broken, made mistakes(regrettable mistakes I must say), I have felt dirty, I have felt left out and empty, my wounds were scary and irritating. And God said He is giving beauty for Ashes. I know I am not the only one who feels lost most of the time, but thank God I am better and I’ve retrieved my stolen identity back from the hands of Satan. You will get yours too. You will be confident again, You will see your beauty and value again because you are as relevant as the holy spirit says you are. He said he’ll make our wounds the weapons of warfare, the bullets and weapons the devil has sent against us to pull us down in all areas is the same weapon we’ll use to fight back. Do not hide your wounds, the scars, they’re beautiful in God’s eyes. He’s making a beautiful work of art out of it. Healing is coming, revival is coming, hope is here, peace is here.

I know it might sound cliche but this is a God movement. When I first heard the word Beauty for Ashes I was shocked. The whole concept and instruction for writing came from the holy spirit. One faithful day, this little girl was praying and The holy spirit instructed her to write. The instructions came in different ways. Books, prayers, the bible (words of knowledge). That day I laughed and cried cause how, just how do you ask someone that doesn’t know a thing about writing, to start writing? It was funny but God told me, if you had known what to do , if you have it all under control then there won’t be a need for me to come in, my presence in your life wouldn’t have been relevant. He said I’m going to put your wound out there, and show the world the beautiful art I have created it , so others can see and have confidence in the God who creates treasures. So you see, The holy spirit is always relevant, in fact He aids our ignorance. With time the instructions grew on me and I started walking in obedience of the one who sent me.

We’ve lost so much, we feel behind, but there’s a lot in store for us.

God is giving you BeautyforAshes.
