When the Weight Feels Heavy, Remember Divine Timing

By Colleeno Chippy

There are mornings when you wake up and the weight of everything you’ve been carrying feels a little heavier than usual. The plans you’ve been working on, the dreams you’ve been watering, the prayers you’ve been whispering in faith — it all seems to be moving too slow. You look around and wonder, “Why hasn’t it happened yet?” But in that very moment, something inside reminds you: it’s not your timing, it’s divine timing.

Sometimes we get so focused on the outcome that we forget the process is sacred too. Every waiting season has a purpose. Every delay has a lesson. Every “not yet” is heaven’s way of preparing you for what you’ve prayed for. What if the blessing isn’t late — it’s just aligning perfectly with who you’re becoming?

Strength to Endure

There’s a different kind of strength that comes from trusting when nothing seems to make sense. When doors don’t open, when opportunities feel scarce, when progress seems invisible — it’s easy to feel defeated. But remember, faith is not tested when everything is easy; it’s refined when everything feels uncertain.

Ask God not just for the blessing, but for the strength to wait for it. Strength to stay grounded. Strength to keep showing up. Strength to keep believing even when your emotions are saying otherwise. The same God who showed up before will show up again — right on time.

Divine Delays Are Not Denials

Sometimes what feels like rejection is really divine redirection. The “no” that hurt your heart may have been protection. The “not yet” you keep hearing might be preparation. Every closed door is leading you to one that fits perfectly. And while it’s hard to understand now, one day you’ll look back and say, “God knew exactly what He was doing.”

The Blessing Is Already Here

Here’s a beautiful truth: the blessing isn’t always something you wait for — sometimes it’s something you realize you already have. The peace that’s keeping you sane? That’s a blessing. The lessons you’ve learned through hardship? Blessing. The inner strength you didn’t know you had until you had no choice but to be strong? That’s God working within you.

So today, even if things aren’t happening the way you hoped, take a moment to give thanks. You’re still covered. You’re still favored. You’re still becoming everything He promised you’d be — in His perfect timing.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
