You wake up early to pray. You budget with intention. You move your body because it is a temple, not an afterthought. You are soft in spirit but firm in standards. Disciplined. Focused. Favored. You are no longer explaining why you outgrew certain rooms. Growth requires pruning — and pruning is never loud. Let them misunderstand. Let them call you distant. Let them say you've changed. You did. Because a woman who knows her worth doesn't shrink to fit into old seasons. She expands into new ones. And the most beautiful part? You're not building alone. The same God who planted the vision is watering it. The same God who closed the doors is guarding the new ones. Keep going. You are not behind. You are being built. And a woman being built by God never has to apologize for becoming. Pt2
