Signs you're growing even if it doesn't feel like it:

Some days growth feels like momentum. You can see it! It feels good! Validating! Inspiring!

Other days—and a lot of seasons in life—it feels more like standing still, holding back tears, or sitting quietly while your heart does work no one can see.
It looks like taking thoughts captive that used to upend your day, recognizing when the Holy Spirit is prompting you, and leaning in when it’s more comfortable to run, avoid, cope, or pivot.

But this is how transformation often happens—beneath the surface, in the unseen places where roots grow deep before fruit ever appears.
The little bursts of growth—like that tiny, tiny little green leaf that sprouts and whispers to your soul, “hang tight…I’m receiving…God is working…keep going…”

Let’s be honest—when you don’t feel like you have a lot of “wins” where you are, it feels discouraging. But growth is gritty and rarely linear. It requires you letting God redefine what growth actually looks like and celebrating what traction looks like in the Kingdom.
Uncomfortable,
Slow,
Underneath the surface because it’s tethering itself to roots that outlast storms and systems that remain in seasons.

It is HOLY to let God examine your heart and see all the ways in which transformation is needed.
It is also HOLY and deeply necessary to recognize where growth has happened.
God HAS moved. His hand IS present. Your heart IS gleaning. Joy IS deeper. Peace IS less volatile. You DO hear Him.
Call the wins.
It’s good ground 🍃
