The Messy Middle (and Why It Still Matters)

Some days I wake up with fire in my soul.
Other days, I barely get out of bed.

And honestly? Most days lately feel like somewhere in between.

I’m in the messy middle — not where I used to be, but not yet where I want to be. Healing is happening, but it’s slow. Growth is coming, but it’s quiet. And some days, it feels like God is silent.

If you’re here too — in the middle of your story — I want you to know:
This space matters.
This middle ground, this unfolding, this not-yet-but-someday season... it’s holy.

We live in a world that celebrates outcomes — the before-and-after, the finished product, the highlight reel. But God? He meets us in the process.
In the sighs, the setbacks, the still-trying-anyway.

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion...” – Philippians 1:6

That means the work right now counts. The tears count. The effort counts.
Even the days that feel like nothing more than survival — they count.

I don’t have a bow to tie on this post today. No 5-step plan.
Just this:
If you're in the messy middle, you are not alone.
I’m here too.
And more importantly, God is here too.

So today, let’s stop waiting until we’re “better” or “fixed” or “ready” to believe we’re worthy.

You’re worthy right here.
In the trying.
In the tired.
In the middle of becoming.

And that, friend, is more than enough.

With you in the in-between,
April
