When They Try to Burn You
They’ve tried to burn me.
They’ve tried to bury me.
They’ve tried to stop me.
They’ve tried to silence me.
But here I am. Still breathing. Still writing. Still building.
If they want to burn you — become water.
Flow around the fire. Don’t fight it. Cool it down. Survive it.
If they want to bury you — become a seed.
Go into the dark. Stay there. Use the dirt as fertilizer. One day you’ll push through stronger.
If they want to stop you — wake up the beast inside.
The stubborn one. The one that refuses to stay down. The one that says “cool it” with every breath.
If they want to silence you — let your success make the noise.
Not the loud, boastful kind. The quiet, steady kind. The kind that shows up every day even when everything hurts.
This is what the Job season has taught me.
I don’t need to scream.
I don’t need to fight every battle.
I just need to keep becoming what they can’t destroy.
My name is Job.
I’ve been burned.
I’ve been buried.
I’ve been silenced.
But I’m still here.
Flowing.
Growing.
Becoming unstoppable.
Still Building.
Even when they try to burn the builder.
