change, Chaos, faithful, God, hope, Lies, Progress


Don’t be distracted by the chaos. The shifting of your current situation may leave you shaky and unsure. We tend to question and even retreat because transition can be messy. DON’T STOP GOING FORWARD!! Don’t believe the lies that are trying to stop your progress. Yes, you heard right. Yes, this is for your good. Yes, God is going before you. No, you are not making this up. No, you are not crazy. No, God can not fail you. Where we are going into this new season is filled with promise and advancement. Don’t be taken hostage by lies and fear. What you see now, the shaking, the mess, is only an indicator that the new is coming! Steady your hearts and minds on the faithfulness of God to get you to your destination!!

change, faithful, future, God, good, plans

  
I am comforted with the truth that God never changes. He is not moved by society, fads, or circumstance. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No matter what has changed in our lives we can stand behind the truth of his unchanging ways. He is faithful, merciful, and truly good. There is no error in him or his ways. Stand firm today in your faith knowing God is STILL for you despite all the changes around you!!!!

 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?        Numbers 23:19  

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].   James 1:17 

Thank you God that you never change. My future is secure in your constant love and consistency. Your faithfulness leads me in good paths. The plans and purposes you have for me haven’t changed because my life has. I am in good hands. I am safe. I am yours!

change, faith, Holy Spirit, Jesus

I know that feeling…you know the one when you sense something is going to change and you have no idea how you just know. You feel sick. Afraid. Compelled. 

I believe the Lord prepares our heart for transition. It’s almost instinctive like migration for animals. No one teaches animals how to go,  where to go, and when, they just go. We, as followers of Christ have an internal compass that leads us true north…the Holy Spirit. That doesn’t mean the journey won’t be hard or challenging, it just means that we will end right where we are supposed to be.

I don’t want this to discourage you but encourage you. Had I known that resistance was building my inner self and strengthening me I wouldn’t have felt like such a failure. I would have given myself more grace. We wouldn’t be told to fight the good fight of faith if there wasn’t going to be a battle.  

You may feel all out of sorts today. Uncomfortable by what you’ve been feeling. Mind on overload. Emotional and worrisome. Every worst case scenario has played itself out over and over. Let me speak peace right now in the middle of the chaos. Let the truth of Gods abiding presence lead you to go, do, speak and act upon the prompting of your heart. God will always lead you into victory. Remember he is Emmanuel, God with you….every step of the way. Go in peace!!

change, expectaions, God, new, November, season

Good afternoon friends! 

Hello November! Where has the time gone? It’s the holiday season already? Are you ready? I am! 

This season is my most favorite. When I feel the change in the weather and see the leaves changing colors I know it’s fall. From here I can expect the holidays to be close by and the hustle and bustle to begin. 

I often say that what we know to be true in the natural is also true in the spirit. God has his tendencies. There are things we can be sure of when one season ends and another begins. Look around you and tell me what you see. Is there chaos? Things shifting? Change happening? Things a little messy? Have you been feeling the ache of transition? Well, then get ready for something new! It’s a new season! There has been a process of things slowly dying and now it’s time for them to fall. This is good! Don’t look around you and be dismayed by what’s no longer there. I doubt the trees cry over the dead leaves falling. Don’t cry over what was! Rejoice! God is making room for the new. Look forward with great expectation! It’s time!! 

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
 Isaiah 43:19 {NIV}
