The Quiet Between Revelations

We always want the full picture.

Our whole story to be laid out at once.

But that’s not exactly how it works.

The man above doesn’t give us everything at the same time.

Not because He’s hiding, but because we aren’t ready to handle it.

The full truth would just knock us over.

Life is kind of like that too.

The first time you go through something, you’re just trying to get by.

Wide-eyed, distracted, trying not to mess up too bad or look too weak.

But the second time? That’s when it hits you.

You notice what you missed, the looks, the silence, where you didn’t show up like you should’ve.

And suddenly, everything feels different.

You start to miss the days when you didn’t know so much.

Before you labeled every feeling.

Before every mistake felt like a pattern you needed to break down.

When you could just be without overthinking every little thing.

Now you know more, and yes, that knowledge sharpens you.

But sometimes it feels like it traps you.

Because clarity doesn’t always free you, it can feel like a cage, often disguised as something pretty.

This is what I am constantly referring to as the Builder’s Season.

God shows us what we can handle, little by little, teaching us patience and trust when the path isn’t completely clear.

He’s preparing us through the quiet, the waiting, and the parts where we feel stuck.

Those in-between moments, where nothing’s happening but everything’s changing, that’s where the real work happens.

When the next season comes, we bring all that with us, stronger, wiser, and realer than before.

Because life isn’t about seeing it all at once.

It’s about growing into what you’re meant to be.

Step by step.
