She Tried to Present Herself as the Stable Force… But Failed Miserably: How God Humbled Her When She Thought She Was Better Than Me

There’s something sacred about the role of a mother. It’s not a title you can earn with degrees, credentials, or calm voices in public spaces. It’s a divine appointment. And while many have tried to step into it, few understand the weight that comes with it.
She tried.
She tried to present herself as the stable force — the one who had it all together, who showed up to appointments, used polished language, and presented a résumé instead of a relationship. She walked into rooms she didn’t belong in and spoke with an authority she was never granted. She believed her education made her superior. That her proximity to power gave her access. That my perceived chaos disqualified me.
But what she forgot is this:
God does not anoint pretenders.
He anoints the broken, the pressed, the mothers who have been overlooked, but never removed. The ones who have stayed up at night praying, weeping, interceding for their children in the unseen hours. She may have had control for a season, but favor? Favor will always outlast manipulation.
And so God humbled her.
Not with loud warnings. But with closed doors. With professionals who started asking questions. With forms she couldn’t sign. With decisions she couldn’t make. With a mirror held up to her soul that revealed: this role is not yours to claim.
I don’t have to compete with a woman trying to out-mother me.
I am the mother.
The one who carried him. Nurtured him. Warred for him.
And will continue to walk beside him long after the masks fall off and the stage goes dark.
This isn’t about revenge — it’s about restoration.
God is restoring what was mine. Not because I begged. But because I stood. And He saw. And He moves for mothers who are misunderstood but appointed.

God Is Showing Her the Contrast
God is not petty, but He is precise.
And lately… He’s been showing her contrast.
While she tried to take my place, God revealed the fruit of her labor: confusion. Restlessness. False starts. She dressed her control as care, but everything she touches is rooted in chaos — because it wasn’t planted in covenant.
Meanwhile, my hands are blessed.
Even in the moments I doubted myself, God whispered, “I see you.”
Where she sows disorder, I reap peace.
Where she pushes for power, I bloom in grace.
She thought she could erase me — rewrite the story, replace the presence, remove the roots. But instead, she finds herself living in my shadow, still haunted by the glow she could never recreate.
And let’s be honest… even her house isn’t safe from the truth.
Because while she tried to erase me, he never stopped noticing me.
In glances. In comments. In energy that betrays loyalty.
No, I don’t want what she has — but even she knows,
what she has came from what I left behind.
God is not mocked.
And now, the contrast speaks louder than her claims.
I don’t have to fight her.
The fruit will speak.
