New Devotional by Celeste Gonzales
BECOME: 21 DEVOTIONS
To Think Different, Break Cycles, and Be Confident.
If you’re tired of the hustle, this devotional is your pause. God is shaping who you’re becoming, not measuring your busyness. Take a few minutes each day to reflect, breathe, and let the Holy Spirit guide you. You are God’s handiwork, created with purpose.
brave friend,
You were made for more than survival. That is why I am here. I want to help you heal what hurt you, break the lies that limit you, and step boldly into the life God keeps whispering is possible.
For years I have walked beside women and families as a pastor, speaker, mentor, author, entrepreneur, and real estate professional. I have spent my life building spaces for people both in their souls and in their everyday lives. I have lived through insecurity, leadership pressure, motherhood, marriage, business, and breast cancer. I have learned that victory is possible, identity can be rebuilt, and purpose can rise from places you once believed were beyond repair.
But when you land here, I am not assuming you came to read my story. You are here because something in you wants to grow, become, rebuild, or believe again. Most people who reach out to me are walking through things like…
Finding confidence after seasons of loss
Healing from identity shaping wounds
Balancing calling, career, motherhood, and marriage
Overcoming fear and mental battles
Leading others with strength and integrity
Discovering purpose in the middle of pressure
Building a life, home, and future that actually feels whole
I wish we could sit together with a cup of coffee and talk through your story in real time. Maybe one day we will. For now, explore what I have created here for you. You will find tools, teachings, books, coaching opportunities, and real world encouragement designed to help you become who God says you are.
We are becoming together.

WHAT others are saying about the book…
lori champion
“In 2003, this twenty-two-year-old girl and her husband walked into our storefront church, and she would barely look me in the eye. She would have preferred to work in the nursery (not because she had a passion for kids, but because she wanted to be hidden), and now she leads and proclaims God’s Word to thousands of people, leads our women’s conference in Texas, in women’s prisons, and around the world…
I’ve had a front row seat to the journey documented on the pages of this book. No, this is not an autobiography of Celeste. It’s a story of how to trust God with everything so that you can become more than anyone else, including you, could have ever imagined.”
Author of Woman Up
Co-pastor of Celebration Church in Austin, TX
“To know Celeste, is to love Celeste and I guess that’s the true beauty of this book. Within these pages we are given an insight from her personal journey of how to find the courage to become who God says we are. We have so much to discover if we are willing to step away from the filters and facades the world offers. So let the journey of becoming begin and as you read these pages you may just find you are not who you think you are, but who God thinks you are.”
Charlotte Gambill
Author, Communicator, Mentor, and Pastor
“Celeste, whose name means heaven, has brought a piece of heaven down in "You Are Not Who You Think You Are", She wisely uses transparency to coach us to a place called "BE". This book will help the reader to reflect on their personal journal as they turn each page.”

“You Are Not Who You Think You Are is a must read for any strong woman that has struggled with finding her place in leadership and relationships. This book is more than words, Celeste has lived them out well! Whether you are young or seasoned you will find keys in this book to unlock your potential.”
