There’s a space in life that doesn’t get talked about enough.
It’s not the beginning.
It’s not the breakthrough.
It’s the middle.
That place where:
- You’re not who you used to be…
- But you’re not fully who you’re becoming yet
And if you’re honest?
It feels uncomfortable.
Confusing.
Uncertain.
Sometimes even a little lonely.
🌫️ The Lie: “I Must Be Stuck”
In this in-between space, it’s easy to start believing something isn’t right.
You might think:
- “Why does this feel so hard?”
- “Why don’t I have clarity yet?”
- “Why does it feel like I’m not moving?”
And the biggest one:
👉 “Maybe I’m just stuck.”
But what if that’s not true?
🔄 The Truth: You’re Becoming
You’re not stuck.
👉 You’re in transition.
You’re shedding old patterns.
Releasing old identities.
Outgrowing spaces that used to fit.
And let’s be real…
Growth doesn’t always feel good while it’s happening.
🪞 When the Old You Doesn’t Fit Anymore
There comes a moment where who you used to be…
Just doesn’t feel like you anymore.
The way you used to think.
The way you used to tolerate things.
The way you used to show up.
It starts to feel off.
Not because something is wrong with you…
👉 But because something is changing within you.
And that can feel unsettling.
Because now you’re asking:
“Who am I now?”
đź’ The In-Between Is Not a Wasted Season
This is the part most people try to rush through.
They want clarity now.
They want answers now.
They want the new version of themselves to show up fully formed.
But becoming doesn’t work like that.
👉 It’s a process.
A refining.
A stretching.
A rebuilding.
And just because you can’t fully see who you’re becoming yet…
Doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
🔥 You’re Outgrowing What You Once Settled For
Here’s something you need to hear:
👉 What used to be okay… isn’t okay anymore.
And that’s not a setback.
That’s growth.
You’re raising your standards.
You’re becoming more aware.
You’re no longer willing to shrink just to stay comfortable.
And yes… that can make life feel uncertain.
But it’s also a sign that you’re evolving.
🙏 Faith in the Middle
This is where faith stretches you.
Because this season doesn’t always come with clear direction.
Sometimes it just comes with a knowing:
“I can’t go back to who I was.”
Even if you don’t fully know who you’re becoming yet.
And that’s where trust comes in.
“God, I don’t have all the answers…
but I trust that You’re doing something in me.”
🧠What Becoming Looks Like in Real Life
Becoming isn’t always loud or obvious.
Sometimes it looks like:
✔️ Saying no to things you used to say yes to
✔️ Taking a step back instead of reacting
✔️ Choosing peace over proving a point
✔️ Letting go of relationships that no longer align
✔️ Sitting in the unknown without forcing an answer
It’s subtle.
But it’s powerful.
đź“ť Ask Yourself This:
If you feel “stuck,” pause and ask:
- What am I outgrowing right now?
- What no longer fits the version of me I’m becoming?
- Where am I being stretched—even if it’s uncomfortable?
- What is God trying to develop in me during this season?
Be honest with yourself.
Because clarity often comes after reflection.
🔥 You’re Closer Than You Think
It may not feel like it.
But you’re not behind.
You’re not lost.
👉 You’re in the middle of becoming who you’re meant to be.
And the middle?
That’s where the real transformation happens.
🌿 Your Next Step
Stop rushing to figure everything out.
Stop trying to skip to the “after.”
Stay present long enough to grow through this part.
Because one day…
You’re going to look back and realize:
👉 This was the season that changed everything.
đź’¬ Call to Action
If you’re in that in-between space—where life feels uncertain, but you know you’re not the same person you used to be…
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
👉 Start with the Rising on Purpose Workbook—especially the “Who Am I Now?” section—to help you process your growth, rediscover your identity, and move forward with clarity.
