Patience – Trusting the Pace of Heaven
Okay friend, let’s talk about one of the hardest and holiest parts of healing: waiting.
I don’t know about you, but I used to think if I wasn’t “getting there” fast enough—spiritually, emotionally, physically—I must be doing something wrong. And girlfriend, let me tell you… that lie ran deep.
But here’s what the Creator-based® Way has shown me: Patience isn’t punishment. It’s a partnership with our Creator. It’s not about sitting still with clenched fists, begging for a breakthrough. It’s about surrendering to God’s perfect pace, learning to rest, and willingly learning in the process. Patience is actually one of the sweetest gifts from God. It’s not about waiting perfectly—it’s about trusting deeply.
Dick Schwartz names patience as one of the 5 P’s of Self, and there’s a reason it’s right at the center. Patience is what gives our inner world the space to breathe. It’s what lets our tender parts—the ones that feel unworthy, scared, or “too much”—begin to trust us. They don’t want to be rushed. They want to be seen, held and heard.
Creator-based® Coaching teaches women that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t come from hustling. It comes from receiving—receiving God’s grace, His timeline, and the truth that you are not behind. It also involves owning and honoring the truth that you are a work in progress, a person who is becoming.
Take Sarah from the Bible—for decades she waited for the promise of Isaac. I’m sure she felt forgotten. Maybe even ashamed. But God’s promise didn’t arrive late; it arrived right on time. And when it did, it carried so much joy, it made her laugh out loud.
That’s what divine timing does—it fills your heart with joy and relief because it comes after you’ve grown deep roots of trust.
In The Creator-based® Way, we are encouraged to create this kind of patience with every part of us. When that anxious voice says, “You should be over this by now,” we respond with compassion: “It’s okay, love. We’re still healing. God’s not in a rush, and neither are we.”
Patience says, “I’m okay even while things are still messy.” It’s that gentle reminder from the Spirit that the Lord never rushes your healing. He doesn’t roll His eyes at you. He sees every part of you—your fear, your self-doubt, your trying—and He responds with the loving compassion of a tender Parent.
Patience teaches you how to wait with hope. It creates space to hear the Spirit, to gently coach your parts back into peace, and to believe that something beautiful is growing—even if you can’t see it yet.
And here’s what I’ve learned: You’re not failing. You’re unfolding.
Our Creator is loving and smiling at every step you take.
So today, be gentle with your becoming. Trust the pace of heaven. God isn’t just working on your future—He’s working in you, right now, with tender, unwavering, supporting love.
You’re not late. You’re loved.
“You’re not failing. You’re unfolding.
Trust the pace of Heaven.”
