Don’t quit before the miracle

There’s a moment—right before breakthrough—when everything feels like it’s falling apart. The prayers seem unanswered. The doors stay shut. The silence is deafening. And yet, that’s often the moment heaven is holding its breath, waiting for you to not give up.

I’ve learned that miracles don’t always arrive with trumpets and glitter. Sometimes they show up in the quiet resolve to try again. In the decision to speak life over your situation. In the courage to say, “I’m still here.”

 The Miracle Is in the Middle

We love the before-and-after stories. The glow-ups. The testimonies. But the miracle often happens in the middle—in the messy, unfiltered, uncelebrated space where you choose to believe anyway.

• When you advocate for your family, even when the system says no.
• When you show up for your calling, even when the audience is small.
• When you write the vision, even when the resources are scarce.

That’s where the miracle begins.

My Story: The Ribbon Didn’t Tear

I remember sitting at my desk surrounded by drafts—advocacy letters, branding sketches, prayer notes. My kids’ names were written in bold across every page. I was fighting for restoration, for housing rights, for dignity. And I was tired.

One night, after another rejection letter and a tech glitch that erased hours of work, I almost gave up. I stared at the screen and whispered, “Maybe this isn’t meant to be.”

But then I saw it—a ribbon I’d sketched weeks earlier. A symbol of beauty, resilience, and restoration. It hadn’t torn. It hadn’t faded. It was still there.

So I got up. I rewrote the letter. I rebranded the badge. I recorded the voiceover. And the next morning, I got a call that shifted everything.

The miracle didn’t come because I was perfect. It came because I didn’t quit.

Say Yes to the Miracle

Say yes to the process. Say yes to the promise. Say yes to the version of you that’s already victorious.

Because the miracle isn’t just what happens to you—it’s what happens in you. And when you refuse to give up, you become the miracle someone else is waiting for.
