Becoming

I used to stare at the ceiling,

Wonderin' why I was here.

Carryin' pain from the battles,

Holdin' onto all my fear.

I spent years lookin' backwards,

Tryin' to make sense of the scars.

But God didn't create me

To stay trapped behind those bars.

Every lesson had a purpose,

Every valley had a view.

Even when I couldn't see it,

You were pullin' me through.

Now I wake up every morning

With a different song inside.

Not because the road is easy,

But because You're by my side.

I am not my mistakes.

I am not my past.

I am not the labels

People tried to make last.

I am stronger.

I am wiser.

I am healing every day.

And with every step I'm taking,

I'm becoming on the way.

One thought.

Two steps.

Three dreams alive.

I'm becoming who I'm meant to be tonight.

I choose faith over fear.

I choose purpose over pain.

I choose growth over comfort.

I choose sunshine through the rain.

I am worthy.

I am chosen.

I am learning how to fly.

I'm becoming who I'm meant to be tonight.

Every setback was a setup,

Every closed door was protection.

Every detour taught a lesson,

Every loss gave direction.

I can feel a shift inside me,

Like the tide is finally turning.

Less concerned with what I'm losing,

More excited for what's emerging.

My children's children are watching,

Whether they know it or not.

So I'm planting seeds of healing

In every battle I've fought.

If they ever tell my story,

Let them say this much is true:

She kept moving toward the light

Even when she couldn't view it.

I am resilient.

I am courageous.

I am guided.

I am grateful.

I am learning.

I am growing.

I am building.

I am whole.

I am not finished.

I am not stuck.

I am not defeated.

I am becoming.

One thought.

Two steps.

Three dreams alive.

I'm becoming who I'm meant to be tonight.

God's hand upon my future,

His promises in sight.

I don't have to know the ending,

I just have to trust the light.

I am worthy.

I am chosen.

I am learning how to fly.

I'm becoming who I'm meant to be tonight.

Yeah, I'm becoming...

Who I'm meant to be tonight.
