Divine Disruption: When God Hijacks Your To-Do List

I was supposed to be minding my business.

I had my day planned out lesson plans to finish, emails to answer, maybe a Netflix break if I was lucky. I thought I was doing pretty good at being “productive.”

Then God whispered, “Write.”

I said, “Okay… later.”

He said, “No. Now.”

A divine disruption isn’t always thunder and lightning. Sometimes it’s an idea you can’t shake. A phrase that keeps echoing in your spirit while you’re washing dishes or scrolling Instagram. A nudge that shows up in your dreams, your prayers, your everyday conversations until you finally put your to-do list down and say: Fine, Lord. I hear You.

That’s how Grace-n-Melanin started. One moment I was working on my STEAM kits … the next, I was scribbling phrases on sticky notes at 2AM. A devotional for women like me stories, scriptures, and a whole lot of sass, downloaded straight from heaven onto my cluttered desk.

So here’s my encouragement for you: pay attention to the interruptions.

Sometimes the interruption is the assignment.

Scripture Reflection:
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?” — Isaiah 43:19

Sis, Let’s Reflect:
Has God ever disrupted your plans for something bigger? Where might He be trying to get your attention now?
