Life Between Chapters

Life Between Chapters

There’s a moment after something ends, before anything new begins—
and most people don’t know what to do with it.

Some don’t stop to acknowledge what they’ve just carried.
The victories get smaller.
The struggle becomes background noise.
But every win—no matter how quiet—deserves to be honored.
Because if we don’t pause, the story keeps moving,
and we miss the strength it took to bring us here.

We can’t change what we don’t acknowledge.
Every win, every loss, every in-between moment—
what we do with them becomes the first sentence of the next chapter.
And if we don’t pause to reflect, that chapter might look too much like the last one.

But if we pause—
if we take even one breath to notice the layers before the page turns—
we give change the space to take root.

There’s beauty in what you’ve carried.
There’s power in what comes next.
And there’s clarity in standing still, just long enough to feel it.

Sometimes the way forward isn’t loud.
It’s sacred.
Not seen all at once, but still there—
guiding, shaping, steady beneath every step.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
