From Promise to Preparation

Three years ago, God gave me a vision — with that vision came a promise… one that I’ve carried in my heart ever since. He promised me that I would be a wife. Back then, it felt far away — something I could only grasp in the spirit. But lately, I’ve sensed a shift. What was once only seen by faith is now beginning to take form in my life.

This season feels different. It’s as if everything God has been cultivating within me — the pruning, the healing, the waiting — has all been leading to this moment of alignment. I don’t have my husband yet, but I feel closer to the promise than ever before. It’s not just something I believe in my spirit anymore; I can feel the preparation happening around me and within me.

God has been teaching me that becoming a Proverbs 31 woman isn’t about waiting for a title — it’s about being shaped for it. I’ve noticed this transformation in the smallest details of my daily life. I’ve started preparing more home-cooked meals with joy and intention. My capacity has grown — balancing single motherhood, a full-time job, my ministry, my blog, and now even my own business. I’m preparing with my hands, just as the Proverbs 31 woman “works with willing hands” (Proverbs 31:13).

This isn’t about striving or trying to make something happen. It’s about alignment. It’s about allowing God to prepare me for what He’s already promised. It was all in His timing.

This is more than a busy season — it’s a becoming season. I sense God doing a new thing, expanding my heart, my hands, and my home. He’s increasing my capacity, refining my character, and teaching me how to steward the promise before it arrives.

I may not see the full picture yet, but I can feel the pieces coming together. There’s a peace and readiness in my spirit — a knowing that I’m closer than I’ve ever been. There is an inner joy and excitement stirring within my spirit.

Isaiah 43:19 says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”

And I do! I perceive it. I feel it. I can’t quite explain it.

This is the shift. This is the season where faith meets preparation, and what God spoke begins to come alive in new ways.

If you’re in your own season of waiting, take heart — God’s promises don’t expire. Even when you don’t see it, He’s aligning everything behind the scenes. Every act of obedience, every season of pruning, every new step of faith is part of your preparation.

He’s not just preparing the promise for you — He’s preparing YOU for the promise.
