🔥 TRUSTING GOD: IT’S NOT ABOUT MY GOODNESS, BUT HIS FAITHFULNESS
📖 Deuteronomy 9:4 (ESV) - "Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, ‘It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is driving them out before you."
Starting UniqueLeigh Beauty & Consulting has been a walk of faith, not just a business venture. There were moments when it felt like things were moving forward because of my hard work, persistence, and sacrifices—but deep down, I knew this journey was never about my efforts alone.
There were times I wanted to believe that if I just worked harder, if I just pushed more, if I just had the right people around me, things would align. But this verse in Deuteronomy humbled me. It’s not about me. It’s about God’s purpose unfolding in my life.
As financial struggles weigh on my shoulders, when spiritual attacks come against my family, when people doubt me and question my vision—I realize that this isn’t just about building a business; it was about building my faith.
I have had to let go of self-reliance and remind myself of what Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV) says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
God called me to this, not because of my goodness, but because of His faithfulness.
🔥 SUBMITTING TO GOD: A TOTAL PURGE
Deuteronomy 12:2 (NLT) - "When you drive out the nations that live there, you must destroy all the places where they worship their gods—high on the mountains, up on the hills, and under every green tree."
This journey has also been about removing distractions, breaking strongholds, and purging anything that stands in the way of what God is doing in my life.
🔥 Spiritual Warfare & Family Attacks
I cannot count the number of times the enemy has used family struggles, betrayals, and past wounds to try and break me. Sometimes, the people closest to me are the very ones used to bring the deepest hurt. The weight of generational battles and past traumas try to crush my spirit.
📖 But Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) reminds me:" For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
This fight is bigger than me. It’s a spiritual battle. And just as God commanded the Israelites to remove every idol, I had to purge the lies, fears, and generational curses that try to hold me back.
Through fasting, prayer, and speaking God’s promises over my life, I have learned to stand in spiritual authority. The battles have been fierce, but so has God’s power.
🔥 Financial Attacks & Learning to Trust in God’s Provision
The financial weight of launching a business has been heavy. There are moments when I stare at bills and debts with tears in my eyes, wondering how I am going to make it through. The enemy whispered lies—“Maybe you should quit, run away, take a flight home, maybe this wasn’t for you, maybe you’re not capable.”
📖 But Matthew 6:31-33 (ESV) – speaks truth into my situation:
"Do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
📖 As with Hagar in Genesis 16:13 'She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” 'God sees me’. He knows my needs. He is my Jehovah Jireh—my Provider. Psalms 54:4 - 'Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. '
Provision has and will continue to come in unexpected ways—divine connections, favor, and doors I could never have opened myself. My obedience will continue to unlock God’s provision in His timing.
🔥 Overcoming External Noise & Doubt
One of the hardest battles has been and continues to be ignoring the voices of doubt—both from within and from others. Some people have questioned my capabilities, my vision, and my faith. Some have even hoped to see me fail.
But God has reminded me that not every voice is meant to be heard.
📖 Galatians 1:10 (ESV) - "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."
I refuse to let external noise dictate my journey. God’s voice will always be louder than their doubts.
🔥 WALKING FORWARD IN FAITH
Through this season, God has been refining me. He has taught me to:
✔ Trust in His Grace, Not My Strength – My success is not about my ability but His divine purpose.
✔ Remove Spiritual Blockages – Break generational curses, reject fear, and silence distractions.
✔ Stay Humble & Obedient – Let go of pride, self-reliance, and worry, and fully surrender to God’s perfect plan
🔥 Final Thought: I Choose to Trust, Submit & Purge
This journey is not easy. There are still battles to fight, obstacles to overcome, and lessons to learn. But I know this:
✔ God’s hand is upon me.
✔ His plan is unfolding, even in the waiting.
✔ Every struggle is shaping me for greater purpose.
📖 Isaiah 55:8-9 (ESV): "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
I will trust, submit, purge, and move forward.
Because I am walking in God’s favour.
Because He is my Source. My Strength. My Victory.
And I will not fail, because I am held by the One who never does.
Amen.
