even if i explained it - it would evoke a different response from each person that read the journey I have been on since the 14th of January. those who i thought would understand..didn’t. the ones who i thought wouldn’t care have agreed that God’s will is best, even if they purposefully choose to deny God’s character and design for our lives.
i will be moving. where? not sure - I have an area in mind. To put it simply, the Lord gave me a place where he is waiting to grow me at. That place happens to be 30-40 mins west. Bottom line.. He will provide.
he provided the financial means to make it happen. | he provided a lesson along the way that spending money for something isn’t necessarily a bad thing… im my fathers daughter.. | he provided support | he provided love.. | and most of all, through all the stress i put on myself by looking to day 3 on day 1… missing out on all day 1 has to offer… hes again, pointed out broken a part that needs to be repaired.
i know he is sovereign, jehovah jirah, loving, patient, my overseer, constant companion, faithful, the Almighty, my healer, my shelter, my shield… ps 91 says he commands his angels to guard me in all my ways, he is my rescuer, my satisfaction… my Lord.
Then why is there even room for the evil one to infiltrate? blah. he sucks. just plain sucks. He can suck all he wants.. hes conquered- I belong to Someone else.. he can take a hike.
Today in seeking his face for peace.. I stumbled upon this verse. It was from one of Pastor Tony Folgio’s “read the bible in a year” devotionals that i get in the junker email. i dont even remember what the title of the devo was.. but this passage literally captivated me. captivation to the point of God literally speaking to me..inwardly. words jumping off the page type (or off the screen: ) )
1Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
2 See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
3 Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
4 “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar,
and your daughters are carried on the arm.
5 Then you will look and be radiant,
your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
to you the riches of the nations will come.
Isaiah 60:1-5
I quickly wrote this verse down. funny. I’ve been prayin for daylight, wealth..(not necessarily financial), and for people to be drawn to his light.. He told me this once before that people would be drawn to me. when he’d pointed out discipleship as an avenue of service. I am excited to see what comes.

exhaustion. weighed on by so many things that are out of my control. have i made a serious attempt at releasing them to the Lord? yes. it just seems to make them heavier. i thought the storm was over with the news on olivet. sadly i was wrong.
what am i saying, “sadly” for?
isnt the Lords greatest work in us when it seems like everything is at a stand still? like pastor hill said in church on sunday.. God’s looking at his watch and goin…”its not time yet.. if you go now, my power cant be displayed.”
i am waiting for him to bring me to a place where what i just said is always my first answer. theres a lot on my heart that is heavy. heavy for one reason- i know their resolution is possible if i believe God is capable of moving things that seem concrete. leases, large monetary numbers… all conquered..
just not yet in the real world.
the times coming. just believe…

Elijah then said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, for there are more of you. Call upon your gods, but do not start the fire.” 1 kings 18:25
contest annointing - let me show you what my God can do.
My God heals, delivers, provides, conquers, dries tears, mends marriages, mends friendships, has limitless love, never leaves, shows mercy to those who think they don’t deserve it, saves, strengthens the weak, sympathizes, guards, guides, forgives sinners, defends the feeble, rewards the diligent, is the gateway to glory.
His mercy is everlasting, his love is never ending, his goodness is limitless, his lord never changes, his grace is sufficient, his Word is ENOUGH and his grace is sufficient.
death couldnt handle him and the grave couldnt hold him.
we are his people. possible people to do impossible things. the harvest is ready….
through My God.. all things are possible.
