This One’s for the Girl Trying to Figure It Out
HEY, BE COURAGEOUS, GIRL
Sis, Let’s Talk About Purpose vs Destiny
Let’s be real… life is not a straight path. If it were, we’d all be coasting through, living our best lives, no struggles, no confusion, just vibes. But that’s not how it works. Sometimes it feels like we’re walking in circles, hitting roadblocks, or making turns we didn’t expect. But guess what? Even in all that, God is still leading us.
So Sis, let’s talk.
There’s a difference between purpose and destiny, and knowing that difference can help you stop feeling stuck.
Purpose is the calling. Destiny is the destination.
Your purpose is what God created you to do in the now. Your destiny is where He’s taking you—but you can’t skip purpose to get there. And I get it… sometimes purpose feels small, or quiet, or hard. But it’s preparing you.
Real Talk: The Road Ain’t Always Easy
There are going to be seasons where you question everything—where you ask God, “Why am I here? Why does it feel like nothing’s moving?” But Sis, don’t give up. That pause might be preparation. That delay might be protection. That detour might be direction.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
We don’t always get it. We don’t always see it. But God is working. And if you’re trying to discover your purpose—get in His presence. Not social media. Not everybody else’s highlight reel. But Him. His Word. His truth. That’s where clarity lives.
Being Courageous Isn’t About Knowing It All
Being courageous means showing up even when you don’t have the full picture. It means saying, “God, I trust You,” when you don’t understand the path. It means believing that your current chapter is part of a bigger story.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
That’s not just a cute scripture—it’s a promise. But to walk into your destiny, you have to walk in your purpose. Every step. Every season. Every stretch. It’s all connected.
Sis, Let’s Be Real
Purpose is your assignment. Destiny is your arrival.
Purpose grows you. Destiny reveals you.
And the path between the two? That takes courage. Daily.
So the question is: Are you waiting on destiny while ignoring your purpose?
Don’t sleep on what God has placed in you right now. Show up. Be obedient. Be bold. Be courageous.
