itsoKHAY to Wait…Even When It’s Hard

Waiting…

Yeah… this part right here?
 This the part nobody likes.

In this episode of itsoKHAY, I’m talking about what it really feels like to be in a waiting season — when you know you can’t go back, but you’re also not ready to move forward.

That in-between space where everything feels quiet…
 where you start questioning yourself…
 and where it’s tempting to either go back to what’s familiar or rush into something new just to fill the void.

But hear me good na…

Just because it’s quiet doesn’t mean nothing is happening.

Sometimes God will sit you in a place where nothing seems to be moving — not to punish you, but to protect you. To keep you from going backwards… and from moving too fast.

This episode is for the ones learning how to sit still…
 trust the process…
 and grow in the waiting.

Because you’re not stuck…

You’re being prepared.

Let me be honest. Waiting when you're used to moving is uncomfortable. Because sometimes God will just God will sit you in a place where nothing is happening. I'm talking about no answers, no clarity, and no movement. And you're just there. Yeah. This one right here. This one is quiet, but it's real. Because sometimes the hardest part of your growth is not the changing, it's waiting. Welcome to It's Okay. And y'all already know I'm your girl Kay. And if you ever been in a place where you don't know what's next, what's to come, but you do know you can't go back to where you just left. This episode, this, this one, this for you, okay. So let's just sit here for a second. Because this part right here, this the part nobody likes. Waiting. Hear me good now. Waiting. It'll have you questioning everything. You start thinking, should I go back? Should I move on? Shoot, am I doing the right thing? And if I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I've been there. I've been in a place where part of me knows, no, you can't go back. But another part of me is like, but what if? And then there's the other side where something new, you know, it might feel good. It might feel different. And surely, just even in that moment, it'll feel right. But deep down, you still don't have clarity. And for me, I'm talking about me, that's when I had to realize, just because something feels good, yup, doesn't mean it's God. And just because it's something that's familiar to you, that don't mean it's right either. So now you sitting in this space where okay, I know I'm not going back, but you're also you not rushing forward. And if I'm being real, that little space right there is uncomfortable. But hear me now, hear me when I say just because it's quiet doesn't mean nothing is happening. Sometimes it's just God will sit you down. You know, he'll put you where you don't go back, and you don't rush into something new. And I had to be honest with myself, I've been in moments where I wanted to go back, and not because, yeah, this is the right, you know, but because that was just something that was familiar to me. And yes, I've also been in moments where I entertained something new. And that wasn't because I was ready either, but because I just didn't want to sit still. And that's when that's when it hit me. No, I wasn't confused. I just didn't want to wait. That you know, while you're sitting there in there waiting, it'll make you, you know, face yourself. And I'm talking about not the not the one that's always distracted, not that version, not the ooh, I'm so busy, that one either. Not even the version of you that was slightly entertained, just you. And if I'm being real, that's the part I used to run from. Waiting. But I had to learn that in that waiting, that's where that's where you break cycles. Because while you're sitting there in your little waiting season, you learn yourself, you get to know who you are without the distraction, without all that noise around you, without someone else influencing your decision. And I'm learning that I don't have to rush, I don't have to force clarity, I don't have to fill the space just because it feels empty to me. Because sometimes, man, waiting, it it can be your protection, and when I say that, I mean that can be your protection from going backwards, and in my case, it'll definitely be your protection from moving too fast. So I'm not going back, I'm just not rushing forward. I'm at a place that I'm learning how to sit in the middle of things. So even if you're in a space right now where, you know, things feel real quiet to you, where you really don't have all the answers. And this probably where you're just waiting, I need you to really hear me when I say it. It's okay. It's okay to wait. It's okay to not know yet. And this one here, my favorite one, it's okay to trust God in those silent moments. It's just okay to sit there with him in the silence altogether. You're not stuck, you're really being prepared. And babe, I'm telling you, it's okay. It's okay to wait even when it's hard.
