Looking Back: The Moments Faith Carried You

By Colleeno Chippy






Sometimes the strongest evidence of faith is not found in the present moment.


It is found in the past.


In the moments where things once felt uncertain… but somehow worked out.


In the situations that once caused stress… but eventually became solutions.


In the times where you didn’t know how things would come together… but they did.


Looking back allows you to see something clearly that may not have been visible at the time:


You have been carried through uncertainty before.


And not just once.


More times than you may even realize.


There were moments when you questioned everything. Moments when the outcome felt unclear, when the pressure felt heavy, when the answers were nowhere in sight.


Yet somehow, things shifted.


Opportunities appeared.

Support showed up.

Solutions formed.


And what once felt impossible became something you moved through.


This is why reflection is so powerful.


It reminds you that uncertainty is not new.


You have experienced it before.


And more importantly, you have made it through before.


The challenge is that when we are in the middle of a current situation, it can feel different. The mind begins to treat the present moment as if it is more difficult, more complicated, or more uncertain than anything we have faced before.


But often, that is not the truth.


It only feels that way because we are inside of it.


When you take a step back and reflect, you begin to see patterns.


You begin to notice that things have a way of working out—sometimes not exactly how you expected, but in ways that still moved you forward.


You begin to realize that faith has been present in your life long before you consciously recognized it.


Each time you kept going.

Each time you found a solution.

Each time things came together.


That was faith in action.


Even if you didn’t call it that at the time.


Reflection also helps to quiet the mind.


When doubt starts to appear, you can remind yourself:


I’ve been here before.

I’ve felt this before.

And it worked out before.


These reminders are not just comforting—they are grounding.


They bring your focus back to truth instead of fear.


Another important part of reflection is gratitude.


Gratitude for the moments that worked out.

Gratitude for the lessons learned.

Gratitude for the growth that came from uncertainty.


Because even the difficult moments often serve a purpose.


They build resilience.

They strengthen trust.

They deepen understanding.


And when you begin to see that, your relationship with uncertainty changes.


It no longer feels like something to fear.


It becomes something you understand.


Something you know how to move through.


Looking back is not about staying in the past.


It is about using the past as evidence.


Evidence that you are capable.

Evidence that things can align.

Evidence that faith has already been working in your life.


And if it has worked before, there is every reason to believe it can work again.

Conclusion


When you look back, you begin to see something powerful.


You were never as alone or as stuck as it may have felt in those moments.


Things were unfolding.


Solutions were forming.


And somehow, you made it through.


Let that be your reminder today.


The same way things have worked out before, they can work out again.


Because faith has already been carrying you—you just may not have noticed it yet.

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...

365 Lessons Later — A Word for the One Still Standing

365 Lessons Later — A Word for the One Still Standing By Colleeno Chippy Introduction December 31st always arrives quietly… yet it carries the weight of an entire year. Three hundred and sixty-five days. Hundreds of prayers. Countless emotions. Moments we never planned for. Strength we didn’t know we had. If you are reading this today, let me say this first — you made it. Not because life was easy. But because something inside you refused to quit. This Was Not an Ordinary Year This year was not designed to be gentle. It was designed to be  revealing. It revealed what you could no longer carry. What you could no longer tolerate. What you could no longer pretend didn’t matter. Some things fell apart — not to punish you, but to free you. Some people faded — not to wound you, but to make room for your next season. Some versions of you were shed — not because they were wrong, but because they were  finished. You Were Being Prepared, Not Broken There were moments you questioned your...
