Dear Readers, it’s that time of the year again.
P.S. if you are reading this, I’m glad you didn’t get caught up in the rapture. (Yes, it was a joke. No man knows the day or the hour. Not even the one that died for us to have access to the father.)
Back to our regularly scheduled program.
So, as I use these last couple of hours (yes I’m writing this blog at night) to say my final goodbyes to this chapter. I stand in tip toe anticipation to welcome the next. This chapter ends with me moving from Ms. To Mrs., having my dream job, and increased faith and gratitude.It also, ends with hard and heart decisions and goodbyes, grieving moments, and accepted consequences.
This next chapter starts the journey of seeing the manifestation of what I have been praying and preparing for, including the next assignment.
This week I had the privilege to reconnect with a friend I deem as a brother and one of big sisters finally answered the phone. In catching up with the both of them the theme of their lives parallel. The theme grieving life changing moments. Moments were only Daddy’s intervention is needed and wanted. As they shared what was going on, I started having mixed emotions… they were grief and joy. The grief of hearing the pain they had and are facing and enduring. The grief of their loss, disappointments, and frustrations. I know you asking, how can you have joy hearing this. Simple, in this current chapter I learned the life application of Nehemiah 8:10 “the joy of the LORD is my strength.” It means that the formula that they are experiencing will yield space and capacity for the joy of the LORD to become their strength. This means they will become weak and the strength of GOD will manifest as they build their testimony. How do you know, you may ask? Because I’ve been there before on numerous occasions.
Now, don’t allow my excitement for their victorious end, fool you into thinking I’m not praying for them and surrounding them with love. Because I am doing that and more. But their current moment forces me to increase my faith. The faith to know that Daddy will do the absolute most on their behalf, including performing a miracle in their lives, keeps me from thinking about my own storm.
As excited as I am about this next chapter, I’m somewhat in doubtful spaces. To get through I need a win for my brother and sister. I need the reminder that , the timing of GOD is perfect, even in midst of chaos. I need to know I’m not forgotten in other areas I’ve been praying for.
So, as I say good bye to chapter 42. I say yes to the assignments, storms, faith building, GOD moving, and life changing moments of chapter 43.
Prayer: Daddy thank you for this next chapter and the assignments that come with it. Thank you for the faith adventures, the peaceful moments, the increase, provision, and mind blowing miracles, signs, and wonders. Thank you for never failing me, in the midst of me giving up. Thank you for being a dependable GOD! In Jesus Name. AMEN
