There are some truths in life that can’t be fully explained because they are known in the spirit and don’t follow the rules of logic. They live in the unseen realm of belief, where faith and alignment meet. I call them unknowable truths, and I’ve seen their power unfold in my own life.

When I had my first child, Omari, at eighteen years old, I was completely directionless. I had no money, no home of my own, and no clear idea of how I was going to support him. My older sister — a registered nurse I looked up— basically commanded me to go to CNA school and then to nursing school. I didn’t question it; I obeyed. Looking back, I realize that obedience to direction was one of my first acts of faith.

All throughout nursing school, I carried an unwavering belief that I would graduate and become a nurse. I never wondered if — only when.

On weekends, I worked as a CNA at a hospital, lugging my textbooks into break rooms between patient rounds and studying at the computer after checking glucose levels. The RNs there saw my drive and began pouring into me. They’d pull me aside to teach new skills and explain procedures, turning every shift into my own personal clinical rotation. I never once asked. I just spoke it — telling anyone who would listen that I would be a nurse one day.

Those nurses believed in me, and I believed right along with them. Even when I didn’t like it, they held me to a higher standard than my coworkers.

That doesn’t mean the path was smooth. I got pregnant with my second child during my labor and delivery rotation. I failed med math one semester and had to sit out while my classmates moved on. I’ll never forget crying over the 53% I earned on a med-surg exam — the GI system, of all things. I still laugh (and cringe) at how much I hated, and still hate, the GI system to this day.

But even through the tears, setbacks, exhaustion, and emotional trauma I was enduring in my personal life, I never once questioned whether I’d become a nurse. It simply never crossed my mind. There was no Plan B. Failure wasn’t an option — not because I was invincible, but because I had already decided that my steps were ordered. It was a done deal.

Unwavering Belief Is Alignment

That kind of faith exemplifies a knowing without knowing. It may sound crazy to ask you to believe in something you can’t yet see, but that’s what I want to encourage you to cultivate.

It’s not about blind optimism or having all the answers. It’s about aligning yourself with the truth of who you are and what you’ve been called to do. It’s an uno reverse move — meeting yourself at the finish line before the race even starts. It’s choosing to speak and think as if it’s only a matter of time.Think about a baby learning to walk. I’ve never seen an able-bodied baby cry in defeat and give up on walking. Have you ever met a seventeen-year-old still in a stroller saying, ‘Yeah, walking was just too difficult for me, so I gave up. Sitting is easier.’ Sure, they fall. Yes, they get frustrated. They wobble and cry. But eventually, every single one of them stands and walks because walking was meant for them. It’s their right just by being human.

You, too, have things that were meant for you — your dreams, callings, and divine assignments that already exist in the unseen.

Demand Alignment from Yourself

There’s a pattern I’ve noticed in life: we easily fall in line with expectations from others like family, society, authority figures — but when it comes to expectations of ourselves, doubt creeps in. Why is it so effortless to obey external voices, yet so difficult to honor our internal one? We need to start commanding abundance and alignment from ourselves the same way we obey outside demands. We need to treat our own goals as sacred assignments, not suggestions. When you decide that it will be, God conspires to bring it forth. He uses His creation, the universe, to align with our desires and intentions.

Fall, But Fall Forward

A decade has passed since nursing school. Those moments that once felt unbearable are now distant memories. Time softened what pain couldn’t. If I could go back and whisper something to that younger version of me, the one sitting on the floor crying over a failed exam — I’d tell her: “You’re still on the path. You’re still in alignment. These emotions will pass.” That’s what I want to tell you, too. You may stumble. You may cry. But your steps are still ordered. Realignment isn’t failure — it’s grace in motion.

The Unknowable Truth

When we truly align with the end goal, with the truth that what’s meant for us will come to pass, we can then rest in peace even amid uncertainty. That’s the unknowable truth I’ve lived:

when your faith is fixed and your heart is steady, timing becomes just a detail.

■ “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his

hand.” — Psalm 37:23–24

■ “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9

So walk boldly. Fall gracefully. And keep trusting — because your steps are ordered.
