The Process and the Processor


As I watched Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ sermon from this weekend, the word PROCESS resonated in my spirit. I started a deep dive in all the various facets the word PROCESS is used and how important and relevant each version is in particular for me! Here’s what came to mind….


The Beauty of the Process: God, My Processor

God, when I sit and bask in Your grace and mercy, my heart and even my nervous system are overwhelmed in the best way. God, You’ve been behind the scenes the entire time, whispering, “Trust Me, it will be greater later.”

Honestly, I can’t believe my life right now. I’m so grateful.

If someone had told me five years ago what I would have to go through to get here, I don’t think I would have been able to process it.
But now I see it clearly. The process was necessary.

Understanding the Process

The word process has such a deep meaning.
In life, in psychology, and in faith, a process isn’t just a series of events. It’s a transformation.

In the general sense, a process is a series of actions or steps that lead to a particular result.
In psychology, a process is an internal sequence of mental and emotional operations that shape how we think, feel, and heal.
In faith, a process is the unfolding of God’s will, the unseen work that molds us into who we’re meant to become.

Every stage of the process refines us.
It changes how we think, how we respond, and how we relate to God and others.
“The process doesn’t just produce a promise. It produces the version of you that can step into the promise.”

God, Thank You for the Process

God, thank You for processing me.
Thank You for keeping me in the process.
Thank You for allowing me to trust the process.
Thank You for comforting me when I didn’t understand the process.

“The promise depends on God.
The process depends on you.”

“The enemy attacks in the process, but He’s the God of both the process and the promise.
God doesn’t offer a promise without a process, and He will see you through it.”

God, thank You for Your comfort in the process.
The process doesn’t just produce the promise; it’s producing the version of me who can walk into it with faith, strength, and character.
The process is meant to develop the version of me that reflects the Promise Keeper.

Thank You, God, for being the Processor:
Way Maker.
Miracle Worker.
Promise Keeper.
Light in the darkness.

Confidence, According to an 8-Year-Old

Image
Adults spend years, sometimes decades, trying to figure out confidence. We buy books, attend workshops, follow influencers, and stand in front of mirrors repeating affirmations. But sometimes, the truest, simplest wisdom comes from the heart of a child. Meet my niece,  Colin . She’s 8 years old. She’s unapologetically herself. She loves chips. She’s flexible, friendly, and firmly believes she’s  “the best Colin in the world.” And honestly? She might be on to something. What Is Confidence? “When you know you’re going to kill it.” – Colin, age 8 Confidence isn’t arrogance. It’s not perfection. It’s a deep, quiet knowing that  you can show up and be great   not because you have every answer, but because you  know who you are  and  believe in what you bring . Colin doesn’t need external validation to believe in herself. She doesn’t wait for applause before deciding she’s got this. She just  knows . And that’s confidence. How Do You Get Confidence? “Yo...

What My 11-Year-Old Nephew Reminded Me About Effort, Resilience, and Heart

Image
This summer, I watched my nephew Cole discover something many adults still struggle to learn: the power of trying your best, even when it’s hard. At just 11 years old, Cole has been joining workouts with the high school football team, lifting, running, sweating alongside teenagers much older than him. It’s been more than just exercise; it’s been a crucible where he’s forged a new perspective on what he’s capable of. He’s realizing that strength isn’t just physical, it’s mental. And as his confidence grows, so does his belief in himself. One day, I talked to Cole and asked how he was feeling about the changes coming to his own football team this season. Without hesitation, he said,  “I feel ready. I know I can do it.”  There was no arrogance in his voice, just calm confidence. I asked him where that belief came from, and without skipping a beat, he said,  “My dad.” That response landed heavy on my heart. His dad is my brother and I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow...

Planted, Not Buried: Growing in the Silent Seasons

Image
There are seasons in life where everything feels still—quiet, even painfully so. It can feel like nothing is happening, like dreams are fading, and prayers are being ignored. But don’t confuse silence with absence. Don’t mistake stillness for stagnation. You are not buried… you are planted. In the soil, a seed looks lifeless. It is hidden from view, covered by darkness, and disconnected from the light it once knew. But beneath that surface, a transformation is happening. Slowly. Quietly. With purpose. The Silent Test Ever notice how the teacher is quiet during the test? That silence isn’t punishment, it’s an invitation to apply what you’ve already learned. In our spiritual and emotional lives, there are “test seasons” where we don’t feel divine direction, where clarity doesn’t come easily, and where reassurance feels distant. But this silence doesn’t mean you’re alone. It’s part of your growth. It’s where you learn to reflect, not react… and then determine whether a response is even ne...
