When You’re Building Something You Can’t Fully Explain
One of the strangest parts of this season has been trying to explain Blossom Braid International to other people.
Not because it isn’t real — but because it’s still forming.
When something is clear and established, it’s easy to describe. But when you’re in the early stages of obedience, language often lags behind conviction. I find myself offering partial answers, unfinished sentences, and simple phrases like, “It’s something God has asked me to do.”
And for now, that has to be enough.
There is a humility required in building something you can’t fully explain. It means releasing the need to justify your obedience or prove its validity to others. It means trusting that God understands the work long before it makes sense to anyone else.
Blossom Braid International doesn’t yet fit neatly into categories. It is growing slowly, shaped more by prayer than by definition. And perhaps that is exactly how it should be.
If you’re holding something God has given you that feels difficult to articulate, don’t rush to clarify it. Let it breathe. Let it mature. God is not anxious about unfinished explanations.
For now, faithfulness doesn’t require fluency — only trust.
