🌱 Planted On Purpose: Trusting God’s Timing
Motivational Monday Devotional | The Purpose Suite
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
Have you ever felt buried — like your efforts are unseen, your prayers are unanswered, and your dreams feel stuck beneath the surface?
Let me remind you today: you are not buried.
You are planted. 🌱
We often confuse silence with absence and delay with denial. But what if the quiet seasons of your life are where purpose takes root? Where God has you under protective custody? What if God is working beneath the surface, developing strength, patience, and clarity for what’s coming?
The world tells us to hustle harder. But purpose often requires stillness. Before the fruit, comes the root. And the root doesn’t grow on display — it grows in secret.
In this season, God may be preparing your character for what you’re called to carry. The waiting is not punishment — it’s preparation. Don’t despise the hidden place. Embrace it. God has not forgotten.
Because when your appointed time comes, what was once unseen will be undeniable.

✨ Faith and Forward Motion
July 16, 2025
Devotional Reflections | Wellness Wednesday | ThePurposeSuite.com
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion…” – Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
There are seasons when it feels like standing still is the safest option — when fear, doubt, or uncertainty causes us to hesitate on the edge of our calling. But God never called us to pause in fear. He calls us to move — with faith and forward motion.
Faith is not passive. It’s a decision to trust — even when the path isn’t fully lit. Forward motion is not about having all the answers; it’s about believing that what God has planted in you is powerful enough to grow as you move.
Each step forward, no matter how small, is a declaration:
“I believe God is with me. I trust the gifts He’s placed in me. I’m moving — in faith.”
You don’t have to wait until you’re 100% confident in yourself — just 100% confident in God’s ability to work through you. As you walk with Him, your self-belief begins to rise. You’ll find clarity not just in planning, but in the doing.
This is your reminder that:
- You don’t need perfection to begin.
- You don’t need applause to believe.
- You don’t need certainty to obey.
You just need faith — and forward motion.
So take the step. Apply for that opportunity. Start that journal. Open that business. Launch the blog. Say yes to the calling.🎉
You are not moving alone. You are moving with grace, purpose, and divine backup. 🚶🏽♀️✨
🌿 Reflection Prompt:
Where in your life do you need to stop waiting and start moving by faith?

Becoming Her
July 21
📝 Blog Title: Becoming Her — Building the Brand That Is You
“Becoming her” is not about chasing perfection — it’s about embracing purpose. It’s the journey of becoming the woman God designed you to be: confident but grounded, stylish yet authentic, and purpose-driven without apology. In a world that’s quick to box you in, building a brand — your brand — is not about standing out for applause. It’s about standing firm in alignment.
Let’s talk about what that really looks like.
1. You Don’t Have to Be Perfect — But You Must Be Consistent
The greatest brands aren’t flawless. They’re consistent. Whether you’re showing up on Instagram, speaking on a Zoom call, or simply introducing yourself at a networking event — consistency builds trust. That means:
- Keep your message clear.
- Show up in alignment with your values.
- Let your audience experience the same “you” online and offline.
Perfection can be paralyzing. Consistency is what creates connection.
2. Be Confident, Not Aloof
Confidence is quiet. It doesn’t need to compete or compare. When you’re confident in your purpose and what you bring to the table, you don’t have to fake power — you are power.
But don’t let confidence become a wall.
You can be confident and kind. You can be ambitious and approachable. As you’re building your brand, letyour presence invite people in — not push them away. Your confidence should be a reflection of your clarity, not a mask for ego.
3. Stay True to You
Authenticity is your superpower. You don’t need to water yourself down to be accepted. In fact, the more you lean into who you really are, the stronger your brand becomes.
So what does that look like?
If you’re faith-centered, your brand should reflect that.
If you’re naturally soft-spoken, your message doesn’t need to shout.
If you love color and creativity, let that show in your visuals and your voice.
Your essence is your edge
4. Dress the Part — Without Losing Your Essence
You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for professionalism. Style isn’t about wearing what’s trendy — it’s about wearing what’s true to you.
Show up in a way that reflects how you want to be addressed.
That might mean:
- Neutral tones with bold accessories,
- Natural hair with powerful presence,
- Modest wear that still makes a statement.
You don’t need a stylist — you need self-awareness. Your clothes should speak before you say a word — but never say something you wouldn’t.
5. Build Your Brain, Brand, and Body — The Tony Gaskins Way
As Tony Gaskins Jr. teaches: Mastering the 3 B’s “Build your brain, brand, and body.”
🔸 Build Your Brain:
Educate yourself. Read. Take courses. Stay curious. Your brand is only as strong as your mindset. A wise woman knows that growth never ends — so never stop learning.
🔸 Build Your Brand:
Let your purpose lead your platform. Your brand isn’t just a logo — it’s your story, your energy, your values. It’s how people feel when they experience you. Show up with clarity and intention.
🔸 Build Your Body:
Take care of your temple. This is about more than looking good — it’s about feeling good enough to show up fully. Energy, discipline, and self-care play a major role in your success.
Becoming Her…
She’s not perfect, but she’s prepared.
She’s not loud, but she’s impactful.

Becoming her means embracing every part of your journey — the flaws, the pivots, the glow-ups, and the quiet breakthroughs.
Your brand isn’t something you put on — it’s who you become.
