When the Promise Feels Quiet

By Colleeno Chippy





There are seasons in life when you are still praying, still believing, still doing your best to walk in alignment — yet your life does not look like the promise you once felt so sure about.


You remember the confirmations.

You remember the moments of clarity.

You remember the direction that felt divinely led.


And yet now, you may find yourself standing in a place that feels uncertain, uncomfortable, and unusually quiet.


Psalm 44 speaks to this very moment. It gives language to the heart that says, “God, we didn’t walk away from You — so why does this season feel so heavy?” It reminds us that not every valley is a sign of failure, and not every delay is punishment.


Sometimes the quiet is not abandonment — it is alignment.


Sometimes the pressure is not rejection — it is refinement.


Sometimes the waiting is not denial — it is preparation.


There are seasons when God allows us to feel the stretch, the pruning, the shaking — not to break us, but to rebuild us deeper, stronger, and more rooted than before.


When life feels confusing, it does not mean your faith was misplaced.

It means your faith is being strengthened.


When answers feel delayed, it does not mean your prayers were ignored.

It means your foundation is being fortified.


This is the space where endurance is formed.

This is where wisdom is sharpened.

This is where new authority quietly grows.


So if today feels heavy, unclear, or emotionally stretching, take heart.


You are not being forgotten.

You are being formed.


And what is coming will make sense of everything.

Conclusion


Quiet seasons are not empty seasons.

They are womb seasons — where strength, clarity, and purpose are being formed beneath the surface.


Even when you cannot see what God is doing, He is still doing something.


Stay rooted.

Stay open.

Stay willing.


Your becoming is unfolding.

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 ...
