Have you ever found yourself in a place where the circumstances of life seem overwhelming and you're desperately longing for a breakthrough? It's a place many of us know all too well. The weight of waiting can sometimes feel unbearable, leading us to question, "Does God hear me?"

God's Faithful Listening Ear

When we're yearning for change, it's easy to feel as though our prayers are echoing into emptiness. But take heart, dear friend, God's Word reassures us that He is always ready to listen. In Psalm 34:17-18, we're reminded that "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Even in your moments of silence, God hears every whisper of your heart.

Navigating the Wait

Patience is often the most challenging virtue to cultivate. In a world that thrives on instant gratification, waiting for a breakthrough can feel counterintuitive. Yet, throughout the Bible, God promises that waiting isn't wasted. Isaiah 40:31 encourages us, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." When your hope is anchored in Him, the waiting becomes a season of growth and preparation.

Learning to Trust His Timing

Trusting God's timing is one of the most profound aspects of faith. While it might not look like what we expect, His timing is perfect. Reflect on the experience of biblical characters like Joseph or Hannah, who endured long seasons of waiting. Their stories remind us that God's plans are intricately woven with purpose. Each detour, challenge, and delay was used by God to shape them for the breakthrough that lay ahead.

Practical Steps Toward Peace

While waiting for a breakthrough, practical steps can help you maintain peace and perspective. First, immerse yourself in Scripture. Allow God's promises to fill your heart and mind. Journaling your journey can also be a powerful tool, offering a tangible way to track God's faithfulness over time. Just as importantly, giving yourself room to breathe and infusing your day with small steps toward spiritual growth can make a significant difference. Engaging in consistent prayer and devotion, even in the smallest increments, can sustain you through the toughest days.

Embracing God's Presence

Seek to recognize the sacred pauses in your day—those moments where you can quiet your spirit and lean into God's presence. Your Creator invites you to come before Him openly and honestly. Speak your fears, aspirations, and longings, knowing that He cherishes every conversation. If you're ever in doubt, remember this: you're deeply loved, never alone, and His guiding hand is upon you with unwavering faithfulness. Breakthrough is often nearer than we think; it may come not in an instant but as your heart aligns with His divine purpose.

Finding Strength Through Connection

Connecting with fellow believers who can encourage and support you provides strength during seasons of longing. Whether through a church community, a small group, or an online faith collective, sharing your journey with those who understand can uplift your spirit and cultivate hope. The promise of spiritual breakthroughs is grounded in God's enduring faithfulness. As you wait, may you discover peace and assurance in His presence. Let faith be the lens through which you view each day, trusting that God hears you, sees you, and is leading you to new, unexpected heights.

Hi friend, I’m Paula

 
… a grandma, pastor and follower of Jesus

I've always felt pulled to the quiet, sacred spaces where transformation happens—not in the spotlight of large ministries, but in the intimate moments of women (and men's) lives. As a spiritual midwife, I walk alongside Christian women, guiding them through the space between struggle and breakthrough, helping them uncover their God-given identity.

Faith, Coaching, and Lived Experience

Unlike many, my approach stems from real-life wisdom, not just theory. 

  • As a Christian coach and certified practitioner in holistic techniques, I draw from my own story to teach others.
  • I believe in the power of small steps that add up over time, like starting with a simple prayer or a moment of journaling amidst the chaos of daily life.
  • Through one-on-one coaching, I help women build sustainable devotional rhythms that bring calm and clarity, transforming overwhelm into opportunities for revelation.
I'm passionate about empowering women to integrate faith into their everyday routines—whether that's balancing family, work, or personal growth. By weaving Scripture with practical self-care strategies, I show how these elements can help you feel more connected to God and at peace in your relationships. As a mom and grandma myself, I understand the profound influence we have on our children and grandchildren, and I love reminding women of the eternal impact of their faithful steps.

Embracing Your Unique Calling

At the heart of my work is a celebration of individuality, inspired by truths like those in Psalm 139:14, which reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I see the God-sized potential in every woman I meet, even when it's hidden under layers of busyness or doubt. My gifts—empathetic listening, biblical insight, and a knack for creating sacred rhythms—serve as bridges between ancient faith and modern life. I encourage you to give yourself room to breathe, to honor your unique path, and to make it doable today by taking those first, gentle steps toward freedom and empowerment.

If you're yearning for a deeper connection with God, more balance in your daily life, and the tools to strengthen your faith, I'm here to guide you. Let's start that journey together—save your seat for an Aroma of Christ Coaching Hour + Peace RESET and discover how small, consistent changes can lead to lasting transformation.
