A whirlwind month or rather it has been quite a whirlwind season. I'm nevertheless blown away by how God has carried me through. Strength that comes from Him alone. Despite the lack, there is more. A sense of abundance. Despite the feeling of dread, there is a certain joy, hope.
It's funny how you will not understand something until you experience it yourself. You can read all about it but the comprehension part does not 'click' until you experience it.
I can say this.
Psalm 13 :5-6
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

We want the things of God. We want the 'wow-ness' of Him. We want to see the miracles, the breakthroughs, the healings but we are not willing to pay a price for it.
But perhaps the issue is because of a lack of desire. It is merely a want not a desire because if we truly desire it wouldn't we put in our all to attain it no matter the cost?
Perhaps it is a lack of desire for
- more of Him
- His kingdom to come
- the real breakthroughs, miracles
Or perhaps as Romans suggests we are unrighteous, we don't understand nor do we truly seek Him.
Romans 3:10-12 NIV — As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
Yet the Lord of Host, the maker of the Heavens and Earth still chooses to pour His very presence into our lives. He gives us His very breath and make us His partners.
He still speaks and woos us to Him. He sings and rejoice over us. O indeed How great the Father's love for us.
The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. - Zephaniah 3:17
Nothing gonna keep you down forever
Nothing gonna change what's true
The bad days will come but they'll make you better
If He's who your heart runs to
Give Him every inhale every single exhale
And just watch what He can do
When you give Him the hurt
And you give Him the pain
He'll use the rain to make you bloom
I want you to know He'll use you as you are
So don't be afraid to show off your heart
Love every scar and remember
It takes time to get where you're going
But He's there in every moment
When it's tough don't give up
Keep on believing

Prayer doesn't work only God does!
Don't have faith in prayers. Your faith and trust is in God.
Every promise is grown into.

The ending of one and the beginning of another. 2 years and 11 months. Page turns.
I'm truly thankful that despite the many low moments, God has also given me many many reasons to rejoice.
Now, shifting gears to embrace the new season.
