Friday, April 25, 2025 — I Am Still Becoming
Week’s Theme (April 21-25): Becoming Again
Leap and stride and wind up gloating
Let it be for you
Bounds of wrought iron kill my flesh
Let it be for you
—Excerpt from Let It Be…For You by Rita Lynn Berry
Words of Light
“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion…”
—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
Reflection
We often measure our lives in finished things:
The job.
The healing.
The breakthrough.
The book.
The relationship.
But what if the real beauty is not in what’s finished—
but in the fact that you are still becoming?
Becoming doesn’t always look graceful.
Sometimes it looks like leaping with no net.
Sometimes it looks like exhaustion and silence.
Sometimes it looks like a fight just to hold onto your joy.
But underneath it all… there’s movement.
There’s growth.
There’s grace.
Even when you don’t see it,
Even when life feels like wrought iron pressing against your skin—
You are not being buried.
You are being reshaped.
The soul that leaps and strides may stumble—but still rises.
And if you feel behind, let this remind you:
You are not behind.
You are in bloom.
Let it be for you.
Not just the strength.
But the softness.
The sweetness.
The sacred becoming that’s still unfolding inside of you.
- Where are you still judging your process instead of honoring your becoming?
- What’s trying to bloom in you right now, even if it doesn’t look finished yet?
- How does it feel to declare, “I am still becoming”?
Affirmation
I am not behind—I am becoming.
The work is not finished, and neither am I.
Grace is still growing me.
With Becoming Again,
Rita
