BECOMING – DAY 31
My story ; his glory

And This Is Only the Beginning ✨

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” — Philippians 1:6

31 days.

31 reflections.

31 pieces of a story that is still being written.

I started this journey wanting to share my story, but somewhere along the way I realized that this was never really just about me.

It was about reminding someone that your beginning does not have to determine your ending.

That you can dream beyond your circumstances.

You can start again.

You can forgive.

You can grow.

You can change.

You can lose and still rebuild.

You can be underestimated and still become everything God called you to be.

If there is one thing I hope you take from these 31 days, it is this:

Don’t be afraid of becoming.

You don’t have to have everything figured out.

You don’t have to be who you were yesterday.

And you certainly don’t have to become who the world expects you to be.

Allow God to shape you.

Allow life to teach you.

Allow your mistakes to refine you.

Allow your experiences to give you wisdom.

And keep becoming.

Thank you to everyone who read, encouraged, challenged, laughed, reflected and walked with me through this birthday journey. ❤️

You became part of my story simply by taking the time to listen to it.

And as I close this chapter, I am reminded that my story is far from finished.

There are still dreams to pursue.

People to love.

Children to raise.

Lives to impact.

Leaders to develop.

Prayers to pray.

And so much more to become.

The 31 days may be over.

But the becoming continues. ❤️✨

The Woman I Am Becoming

“But the path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” — Proverbs 4:18

I have spent this month telling you about the woman I have been.

Today, I want to tell you about the woman I am becoming.

I am becoming softer without becoming weaker.

Stronger without becoming harder.

More ambitious without losing my peace.

More discerning without becoming suspicious.

More successful without allowing success to define me.

More intentional with my time, my relationships and my purpose.

I am becoming a woman who understands that she doesn’t have to prove herself to everyone.

A woman who knows when to speak and when to be silent.

A woman who can forgive without forgetting the lesson.

A woman who can lead with standards and still lead with love.

A woman who wants to build people, not just things.

And above all, I am becoming a woman who wants to know God more deeply.

Because after everything life has taught me, I have discovered that becoming is not about becoming someone else.

It is about becoming more of who God created me to be.

I am not finished.

And I am no longer afraid to say that.

There is still so much to learn.

So much to build.

So much to give.

So much life to live.

I am still becoming. ❤️

What I Am Still Learning at 39

“Let the wise listen and add to their learning.” — Proverbs 1:5

At 39, I have learned a lot.

But one thing I know for sure is that I still have a lot to learn.

I am learning that not every battle needs my attention.

That not everyone needs access to me.

That rest is not laziness.

That saying no does not make me unkind.

That I can love people deeply without carrying everything for them.

I am learning that sometimes God says wait, and waiting is also obedience.

I am learning to celebrate how far I have come without becoming comfortable with where I am.

I am learning that I can be strong and still ask for help.

That I can lead and still be teachable.

That I can be ambitious and still choose peace.

And perhaps most importantly, I am learning to enjoy the woman I am becoming instead of constantly rushing toward the woman I think I should be.

I don’t have to have everything figured out.

I simply have to remain teachable.

At 39, I am still becoming.

And I think that is a beautiful place to be. ❤️

Reflection:

What are you still learning about yourself at this stage of your life?

Maybe you haven’t arrived either.

Maybe, like me, you are still becoming.

A Letter to the Girl I Once Was 💌

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” — Proverbs 31:25

Dear little Cherline,

I wish I could sit beside you for just a moment and tell you something:

You are going to be okay. ❤️

I know there are things you don’t understand right now.

You will wonder why some things had to happen the way they did. The family rejection;the seclusion,the neglect . Remember Joseph .

You will sometimes feel alone.

You will have to grow up faster than you should.

But please don’t let what you don’t have make you forget what you carry.

Keep dreaming.

Keep learning.

Keep praying.

Keep that stubborn determination that makes you refuse to give up.

One day, you will understand that some of the things you thought were breaking you were actually building you.

You will become a mother.

You will become a leader.

You will teach children.

You will build something you once could only imagine.

You will walk into rooms where people will underestimate you—and you will learn that you don’t need to become smaller to make other people comfortable.

You will lose people you desperately wished you could keep.

Forgive.

Love.

Don’t postpone either.

You will make mistakes too.

Forgive yourself.

Learn.

Grow.

Keep becoming.

And when you finally look back at the little girl who had so little but dreamed so much, don’t pity her.

Thank her.

She kept going.

She believed.

She prayed.

She dreamed.

And she brought you here.

With love,

The woman you became. ❤️

What I Want More of in This Next Chapter

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12

At 39, I find myself wanting less of what impresses people and more of what enriches my life.

I want more God. 🙏🏽
More intimacy with Him. More prayer. More obedience.

I want more family. ❤️
More presence. More conversations. More memories with the people I love.

I want more impact. 🌍
More children whose lives are transformed. More women who discover their strength. More people who become better because our paths crossed.

I want more peace.
Not a life without challenges, but the kind of peace that comes from knowing I don’t have to carry everything.

And I want more courage to become.

To evolve.

To let go of versions of myself that have served their season.

To step into what God is calling me to next—even when I cannot yet see the whole picture.

This next chapter is not about proving anything.

It is about becoming more intentional about what truly matters.

More purpose.

More love.

More faith.

More impact.

Less noise.

Less proving.

Less distraction.

At 39, I know enough to understand that life is precious.

So I don’t just want more years.

I want more life in my years.

And whatever God has ahead of me…

I am ready. ❤️

39: Still Becoming 🎂✨

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” — Psalm 126:3

Today I turn 39. ❤️

And more than anything, I am grateful.

Grateful for the little girl who dreamed.

Grateful for the woman who survived.

Grateful for the mother, leader, educator and woman of faith I have become.

But I am equally grateful that I am still becoming.

I don’t have everything figured out.

I am still learning, growing, being refined, dreaming and trusting God.

When I look back, I see a life that could only have been written by grace.

So today, I celebrate not only 39 years of life, but 39 years of God’s faithfulness. 🙏🏽

Here’s to another chapter of becoming everything He created me to be.

Happy 39th birthday to me. 🥂❤️✨

And to the woman I am becoming…

I can’t wait to meet her. 🌸

The Legacy I Want to Leave

“A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children.” — Proverbs 13:22

When I think about legacy, I don’t think first about money, buildings or titles.

I think about people.

I want my children to inherit faith, courage, discipline, compassion and excellence.

I want the children who pass through Prestige to leave believing that they matter, that they can dream, and that they have a God-given purpose.

I want to raise leaders who will raise other leaders.

But there is another part of my legacy that is very close to my heart:

Women who became the best version of themselves because they met me.

Women who became more confident.

More courageous.

More disciplined.

More purposeful.

Women who discovered gifts they didn’t know they had.

Women who learned to lead.

And women who learned to pray.

This is one of the reasons I lead our daily Prayer Gym, where we wake up and pray together at 06:00 every morning. 🙏🏽

I don’t want women to depend on my prayers.

I want to teach them how to develop their own prayer lives and become women who know how to seek God for themselves.

If a woman met me and became more confident, more purposeful, more courageous—and more deeply connected to God, then I consider our meeting a blessing.

I don’t want people to become my copies.

I want them to become the best version of themselves.

I don’t need my name on everything.

I want my values in people.

My faith in people.

My courage in people.

My love for people.

Because legacy is not what we leave behind.

It is what we leave alive in others.

And I am building that legacy every day.

Reflection:

Who will be better because you lived?

Perhaps your greatest legacy will not be what you built, but who you helped become.

Success Is Measured Differently by God

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” — Mark 8:36

I used to think success was easy to recognize.

A good career.

A comfortable income.

A beautiful home.

A respected position.

A growing business.

Awards and achievements.

The things people can see.

But life has taught me that what looks successful to people is not always successful in God’s eyes.

There was a time when earning more felt like progress to me.

Then I discovered that I could earn more and still feel unfulfilled.

I have also learned that you can build something impressive and still neglect the people who matter most.

You can be celebrated publicly and exhausted privately.

You can have influence and still lack peace.

So today, I measure success differently.

Success, to me, is waking up and knowing that my life is aligned with purpose.

It is being a mother whose children know they are loved.

It is building an institution that changes lives.

It is seeing a child who once lacked confidence begin to believe in themselves.

It is developing people who eventually become better leaders because I invested in them.

It is having the ability to forgive.

To remain teachable.

To serve.

To give.

To walk away from what compromises my values.

And to sleep at night knowing that I did what I could with what God placed in my hands.

I still want excellence.

I still have big dreams.

I still celebrate achievement.

But achievement is no longer the destination.

Impact is.

Because one day, the things that looked impressive on paper will become memories.

The title will be gone.

The money will belong to someone else.

The building will eventually change hands.

But the lives we touched will continue carrying pieces of what we gave them.

That is the kind of success I want.

Not simply to be known.

But to have been useful.

Not simply to build wealth.

But to build people.

Not simply to leave possessions.

But to leave values.

Not simply to have lived long.

But to have lived meaningfully.

Perhaps that is why I no longer ask myself only:

“How much have I achieved?”

I ask:

“Who has become better because I lived?”

That question has completely changed the way I define success.

I am still ambitious.

Still dreaming.

Still building.

Still becoming.

But now I know that the greatest success is not having a life that looks impressive from the outside.

It is having a life that is pleasing to God and meaningful to people.

Reflection

If everything you achieved disappeared tomorrow, what would still make your life successful?

Perhaps your answer will reveal what truly matters.
