Stuck in Time? I’ve Been There Too.

Let’s talk about the wilderness.

Not the beautiful kind with trees and trails—I’m talking about the emotional wilderness.

That dry, confusing space where you feel stuck. Frozen in time. Like everyone else is moving on, and you’re standing still, lost in old memories, buried pain, or questions you’re too tired to answer.

I know that wilderness well.

For years, I lived there—functioning on the outside, but barely surviving inside. I told myself I was fine. That I had moved on. That I had changed. But the truth? I was still carrying things I never gave myself permission to face. I was stuck.Not because I didn’t want to heal… but because I hadn’t made the space to truly do the work.

Time doesn’t heal what you avoid.

Healing happens when you get intentional—when you choose to slow down, look at what hurts, and start walking through the wilderness with honesty and grace.

It was in my own wilderness—alone with God, stripped of distractions, ego, and expectations—that I began to see myself clearly. And slowly, I began to heal.

The wilderness is uncomfortable. It’ll test everything in you. But it’s also sacred.

It’s where the old you breaks so the real you can rise.

So if you’ve been stuck…If you’ve been numbing, overworking, or pretending you’re fine when you’re not…                     If you’ve been standing in the same emotional place for months—or years—hear me:

You’re not alone.

 You’re not broken. 

And you’re not too late.

You’re just in the wilderness. And that’s okay. But don’t pitch a tent there. Don’t stay stuck. Because God didn’t lead you there to abandon you—He brought you there to transform you.

The healing? It starts when you make the choice to show up for you.

To sit with what hurts. To process the pain. To invite God in and do the deep work.

It’s not easy. But it’s worth it. I know, because I’ve done it—and I’m still doing it. And now I walk with others through their wilderness too.

If you’re ready to get unstuck, I’m here. Let’s do the work—together.
