Life is a journey of seasons, each one shaping, refining, and preparing us for what lies ahead.
There are some principles you must hold onto in every season. One of them is to know your season and name it. Give your season a title. It helps you discern what’s required of you, whether it’s faith, healing, unbecoming, or growth.

For me, my seasons were twofold: Identity and Unbecoming.

It all started when I asked God, “What do You want from me?” I was frustrated, on the edge of giving up, and ready to stop trying if He wasn’t going to move how I expected. That’s when things began to shift. In the moment, I couldn’t see it, but now I know: God was breaking things down to redirect my life. And He used everything, even the parts that didn’t make sense.

That’s when Blossom in Grace was born; a project I started during postpartum. Journaling became therapy. Writing helped me breathe again. I thought I was supposed to use my healing to help others. I prepared content, recorded videos with friends, mapped out topics to discuss, and planned to go public with my story. But in the middle of creating, God showed me something else: this wasn’t just a project, it was a season. And that season was private.

It was a season of self-identity. Like a plant pushing through the soil, my identity was growing and taking shape. I wasn’t just learning who I was; I was learning how to express myself, heal, and step into the calling God had placed on my life. Identity is not just about knowing who you are but also understanding what God is calling you to in each phase of life. I had to ask myself the hard questions. I had to take responsibility for where I think I went wrong. not to become who others wanted me to be, but who God called me to be.

Even in the chaos (postpartum, identity crisis, career questions), God was doing something deep. He awakened gifts in me I never knew I had: writing, storytelling, creative expression. He used the lowest points to birth a ministry.

I learned that a season is not defined by time, but by purpose. A season could last months, years, or even a decade, depending on when we fully grasp its purpose and what God is teaching us.

And also:

1. Identity Is a Process, Not a Destination

• I thought I knew myself, but motherhood, marriage, and personal growth revealed sides of me I never knew existed.
• It was up to me to discover who I was in this season, not based on past experiences, but based on God’s direction.

2. Some Seasons Are Private for a Reason

• In the age of social media, it’s tempting to share every part of your journey. But I realized that some seasons are meant to be hidden.
• Like a flower blooming in secret before revealing its beauty to the world, God was working inside me. I needed to let the process unfold without rushing to make it public.

3. Unbecoming to Become

• To step into the new, I had to let go of the old.
• I had to unlearn societal expectations, break free from false narratives, and redefine friendship, community, and family.
• This season refined me, not just as a mother and wife, but as a woman called to serve, love, and shine.

Moving Forward

Now, as I transition from this season, I carry its lessons with me:
• I know my identity.
• I understand the importance of waiting on God and allowing His process to unfold.
• I recognize the value of true friendships, community, and personal growth.
• Most importantly, I know that I am rooted in Christ.

Seasons will continue to change, but our foundation must remain unshaken. Whether you are in a season of identity, waiting, unbecoming, or stepping into something new, trust the process, embrace the lessons, and allow God to shape you.

You are becoming. You are blossoming.
And when the time is right, the world will see the beauty God has been crafting in you all along.
You will also look back at this season and realize it was preparing you for something far greater than you could have imagined.
