What a mighty journey it has been.
When I first started my career in real estate, I had a chip on my shoulder because not many people believed in me. There is often this unspoken message that once you have children, your dreams have to take a back seat — that building a career, owning a business, and creating something meaningful is no longer realistic. I chose to believe otherwise.
What I did not understand then was that building a business requires more than vision. It requires leadership, structure, discernment, and the right people. For a long time, I carried the weight of it all on my own. And when I did bring people in, I did it from a place of exhaustion instead of alignment. I made decisions while drowning, and that only made the journey heavier.
There were seasons when I questioned God. Seasons when I wondered why the promise had not yet come to pass. But looking back, I can see that God was pruning me. He was developing me, refining me, and revealing what could not go with me into the next season.
I have learned that when God places something in you, He is also faithful enough to prepare you for it. Sometimes the delay is not denial. Sometimes it is preparation. Sometimes it is protection.
To this day, I have opened the doors of my own brokerage without a team standing beside me. And while that has not always been easy, it has been necessary. Because in the quiet, in the stretching, and in the weight of carrying it, God has been shaping me into the person who can sustain the blessing, not just receive it.
I know what it feels like to have very little, and because of that, I have often tried to help everyone. But wisdom has taught me that not everyone assigned to your path is assigned to your purpose. Some people are meant to witness the journey, but not carry the vision.
Now I stand in a place where even I can see how much God has changed me. And when I ask, “Why not now?” I believe the answer is this:
Because this time, it is bigger than me.
This season is not just about what I can build. It is about what God can reveal through my obedience, my perseverance, and my faith. So I will keep going, keep building, and keep trusting. And when the time comes for God to elevate what He placed in me, there will be no confusion about who carried me.
It was God all along.
