Stillness and Purpose Coaching

Does this resonate for you? We should talk. You are on the right track... AND will likely need support to for what you've experienced.

Some mornings I wake up accused.

My heart has a courtroom already assembled as the accuser reads old charges. Shame drags old evidence across the floor. The hardest part is how often it sounds like my own voice.

Then Romans 8 speaks over the room.

“The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.”

Child of God…heir of God…fellow heir with Christ.

Before the world could measure you, the Father had already claimed you. The accuser may know your past, but he does not own your future.

So breathe, weary saint.

In Christ, child is your name, inheritance is your future and the Father’s house is your home.

God has spoken over you. Believe Him.

Really let that sink in. God didnt just send Abraham. He sent him AND told him to leave his family-- and all they told him about himself-- behind while going.

He struggled with that.
We struggle with that.

Yet the promise remains... in the overcoming.

Life is a lot of grief but the amount of grief that you experience also creates a deeper well for joy in your life. Healing creates that well and joy becomes your reward for doing the work. This perspective allows you to share that healing with others --- even in the midst of your own grief.

"Clover And Mosses"

This has been chasing me for a while now. And then twice in the past few days its shown up again with this story about Leah and Rachel. Not in my prayer time or my reading this time... in my down time! In the algorithm & in conversations with multiple friends. Someone is trying to tell me something and its not Big Brother.

Do you see it too?

Did you know Jacob was buried with Leah, not Rachel?

Not the woman he loved.

Not the one he cried for.

Not the one he labored fourteen years to have.

Leah.

In Genesis 49:29–31, when Jacob was about to die, he gave a clear instruction:

“Bury me… in the cave… where Abraham and Sarah are… Isaac and Rebekah… and there I buried Leah.”

Pause.

Rachel was his passion.

Leah was his alignment.

Rachel was the love story.

Leah was the covenant story.

Rachel had his emotions.

Leah carried the promise.

Rachel was buried on the roadside (Genesis 35:19).

Leah was laid in the ancestral grave of covenant—the lineage of God’s dealings.

And here is the mystery:

Leah was the rejected one.

The one Jacob didn’t choose.

The one he endured, not desired.

But heaven chose her.

From Leah came Judah.

From Judah came Jesus Christ.

Let that settle in your spirit—

The woman rejected by a man

became central to God’s redemptive plan.

This is where many people miss it:

We are all trying to be “Rachel”—

seen, desired, celebrated.

But God builds legacy through “Leah seasons”—

hidden places, painful processes, quiet obedience.

Jacob’s final decision was not emotional—

it was spiritual alignment.

At the end of his life,

he didn’t choose passion…

he chose covenant; he chose TRUE long suffering love…
Loyalty despite being oppressed and overlooked…

And that is the gospel pattern:

God does not build His purposes on human preference.

He builds on grace and election.

So if you feel overlooked…

if you feel like second choice…

if life has not chosen you first—

hear this clearly:

God’s choice overrides man’s rejection.

You may not be preferred by people,

but you can be positioned by God.

And when God positions a man,

history is rewritten.

Because in God’s hands,

the rejected become vessels,

the unseen become pillars,

and the overlooked become eternal significance.

If you are in your Leah season—

you are not losing.

You are being written into something bigger.
