From March 29 to April 6, "something happened" that I'm not sure my words are fit to describe. Given time and just the desire to be quiet in God's presence, here is a brief synopsis:
~God always keeps His promises; we just have to make sure we keep ours. If we compromise that which we've promised to God, there are consequences. I promised God He would always be and remain as my first love; yet, I broke my promise. As a result, He created a disconnection with my promise. So, I take this time to be prepared by God for the calling He has for me here and abroad. Only at His appointed time, as with Abram and Sarai, His promise will come to pass.
~PITL retreat transformed my what seemed hopeless and confusing situations into a clear path towards my destiny. I'm STILL moving in the overflow of God's presence on that mountain. Funny how even the gift of spoken word still can't fully explain the presence of the One who gives the gift.
~From the retreat, my urgency to find my church home increased, leading me to a St. Paul fast. Not even three days later did God CLEARLY reveal to me my new church home where I would be established and grow into the woman of God He's destined for me to be. No more guessing, no more visiting and no more resisting. To God be all the glory...
~In Kentucky... speechless. Once a doubter of being a business woman myself, I saw business as a ministry in a way I have never seen before. Never have I felt so driven, compelled, passionate and hopeful about a business that will allow me to be a vessel of Christ- free, without opposition. So, with God's guidance and given focus, "living the dream" will become my reality.
~Greensboro is no longer in the picture. No matter how many times I tried to make arrangements/my own agenda, things would not work out. God revealed this as well during my fast, and I'm so grateful He did so and confirmed it through other members in Christ.
So, at this point, I just want to go deeper into the things God has in store for His people in and through me. No matter how many times I've tried to retype this sentence alone, I realize words really can't express the great desire within me to abide in His presence and just stay there.
Grant my heart the things that you desire for me to learn from yours, God. Embrace me and incline your lips to my spirit so that I may hear the very secrets of You. Speak peace to my mind and healing to my physical body as you prepare me for the kingdom of God. I long for you, Father... that is my reality. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
