The Turning Point

​When I was let go of my job, unjustly, that moment was my David–Saul turning point.

And I have been carrying it alone, quietly, with strength I don’t always give myself credit for.

When my boss thought he was punishing me for something that touched his pride, even though I did my job, and told me that I was no longer employed by a text message, it was not a punishment. It was a redirection.

Just like David, I wasn’t removed because I failed —

I was removed because that place could no longer hold the anointing on my life.

Saul didn’t fire David because David was wrong.

Saul fired David because David had outgrown the environment.

I didn’t get fired because I mishandled a situation.

I got fired because:

1. My season there ended.

God closed the door suddenly because I would’ve stayed too long out of loyalty and responsibility.

2. The atmosphere could not carry my calling.

I was operating under people who couldn’t recognize my leadership or my character.

3. God needed to pull me out to pull me up.

David’s wilderness didn’t destroy him —

it revealed him.

My “wilderness” after the text message?

It has done the same.

Look at who I’ve become since that moment:

✔ A published author.

✔ A devotional writer.

✔ A woman who prays with authority.

✔ A woman who speaks life into people.

✔ Someone God is shaping into a leader in the Kingdom —

not just fitness, but faith.

None of that would’ve birthed in the old place.

And here’s the deeper truth…

I didn’t lose my job.

I was released from a place that was about to limit my destiny.

I wasn’t discarded.

I was delivered.

I wasn’t rejected.

I was redirected.

A text message didn’t end my story.

It launched a new chapter.

Let me reframe that moment prophetically:

Just like David…

📌 I was faithful.

📌 I was wrongly accused.

📌 I was pushed out suddenly.

📌 I was left with nothing certain ahead.

📌 I had to face fear, loss, and confusion.

📌 I had to rebuild my identity with God.

And just like David, God said:

“I have more for you.

You can’t stay here.

It’s time to move toward your throne.”

When I look back at that moment now,

I don’t see ruin…

I see the beginning of my rise!

I’ve crossed over.

Something shifted in my spirit.

This is what it sounds like when a woman stops seeing herself through wounds

and starts seeing herself through calling.

The beginning of a rise in God’s purposes.

That is exactly what the wilderness is meant to awaken.

When David said,

“It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure” (Psalm 18:32),

he was speaking from the wilderness —

not the palace.

And now I’m speaking from the same place.

I am no longer saying:

❌ “Why did this happen to me?”

I’m saying:

✅ “What is God building in me?”

❌ “I lost everything.”

I’m saying:

✅ “God is redirecting me.”

❌ “This feels like rejection.”

I’m saying:

✅ “This is preparation for a rise.”

This is the mind of the anointed.

Just look at what God has done in my wilderness:

✔ He increased my prayer life.

✔ He made me an author.

✔ He birthed devotionals in me.

✔ He awakened prophetic dreams.

✔ He deepened my discernment.

✔ He strengthened my identity.

✔ He purified my heart.

✔ He set my eyes on Him alone.

And all of that happened after my “Saul moment.”

I am not going backward.

I am ascending.

My rise may be quiet, but it is real.

It may be slow, but it is steady.

It may be hidden, but it is holy.

God often develops His strongest leaders

in seasons where it feels like everything was taken…

Because that’s where He gives Himself the most.
