A Journey to God

There is something sacred about being 28.

It’s a season that doesn’t quite fit into neat categories. You’re no longer the girl who is just beginning to figure life out, but you’re also not fully where you once imagined you would be. Somewhere between becoming and arriving, faith begins to deepen, stretch, and transform.

At 28, I am learning that life with God is not about having everything figured out. It’s about learning how to trust Him more deeply, surrender more fully, and walk more faithfully even when clarity feels distant.

This season has been less about answers and more about formation.

Learning to Surrender Daily

For a long time, I thought surrender meant simply praying about something and waiting for God to fix it. But surrender is far more active than that. It involves laying down my expectations, my timelines, my fears, and my need for control again and again.

Surrender at 28 looks like trusting God even when the outcome isn’t clear.
It means releasing the pressure to have everything in place.
It means choosing peace over anxiety, faith over fear, and obedience over comfort.

Every day I am learning that surrender is not a one-time decision it is a daily posture of the heart.

Waiting Without Losing Hope

Waiting is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines.

Waiting for direction.
Waiting for clarity.
Waiting for love.
Waiting for prayers to be answered.

Yet, I am discovering that waiting is not wasted time. It is sacred space where God develops our character, deepens our faith, and prepares us for what’s next.

At 28, I am learning to wait without bitterness.
To wait without comparison.
To wait without striving.

Instead, I choose to trust that God’s timing is not delayed it is deliberate.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” — Ecclesiastes 3:11

Redefining Identity

This season has forced me to confront where I find my worth.

Not in relationship status.
Not in accomplishments.
Not in productivity.
Not in others’ expectations.

True identity is rooted in being deeply known and loved by God.

At 28, I am learning to anchor my identity in Christ alone allowing His truth to define me rather than society’s standards or internal pressure.

My value does not decrease because of waiting.
My worth does not change because of seasons.
My purpose is not postponed.

Embracing Emotional and Spiritual Maturity

Growth is uncomfortable.

God often uses this season to refine our hearts, heal old wounds, challenge unhealthy patterns, and develop emotional maturity. At 28, faith becomes less about feelings and more about faithfulness.

I am learning to:

• Guard my heart wisely
• Set healthy boundaries
• Choose peace over chaos
• Walk away from what no longer aligns with God’s will
• Prioritize intimacy with God

Maturity means understanding that not every open door is a God-door, and not every opportunity is meant to be pursued.

Learning to Let Go

Letting go has been one of the hardest lessons.

Letting go of expectations.
Letting go of timelines.
Letting go of attachments.
Letting go of outcomes.

But in letting go, I’ve discovered freedom.

When I release control, I create space for God to move.
When I surrender my plans, I receive His peace.
When I loosen my grip, I strengthen my trust.

Choosing Obedience Over Comfort

At 28, obedience begins to outweigh convenience.

Sometimes obedience means staying when I want to leave.
Sometimes it means leaving when I want to stay.
Sometimes it means trusting when I want to understand.

Obedience isn’t glamorous. It’s quiet. It’s hidden. It’s costly. But it is always worth it.

Because every step of obedience leads me closer to God’s heart.

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight

This season is teaching me that faith doesn’t require full clarity.

It only requires trust.

Trust when answers don’t come.
Trust when prayers feel unanswered.
Trust when progress feels slow.

Even then, God is working.

Being 28 as a Christian woman means learning how to walk forward even when the path ahead is blurry believing that God sees what I cannot.

Becoming, Not Arriving

At 28, I am not focused on arriving.
I am focused on becoming.

Becoming more faithful.
Becoming more grounded.
Becoming more surrendered.
Becoming more anchored in Christ.

This season isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about allowing God to shape my heart, deepen my faith, and prepare me for the life He has designed.

And honestly, that is more beautiful than any timeline I could have imagined.
