As I reflect on my process with the Lord,
I am able to see what an amazing odyssey this has been.
I can hardly believe I went though that.
Looking back, I see how God handcrafted each day.
I revisit the lessons, the challenges, the triumphs, the shortfalls.
Through it all He was right there,
Comforting me, praying for me, teaching me, providing for me.
In times in which I thought I was alone and felt the fire of isolation,
He was right there with Me the entire time.
They say a man’s greatest needs are food, sex, fellowship.
Starve man of that and that is where the real work begins.
We have put in ALOT of work in this journey.
So much that I didn’t realize I had transitioned into an entirely new season.
I was so used to the warfare, waiting, disappointment, agony and despair of yesterday
That I simply checked out.
In the flesh alive, in my soul dead.
How often I died, how often I broke, how often I quit;
Yet, in those moments I was never alone.
Jesus was right there by my side the entire time.
My journey has taken me places, now I see, that others will never have the opportunity to go.
What I thought was my punishment, my consequence of an imagination gone wayward, a mind fractured, the devil’s schemes, were a carefully constructed journey that was planned for me before I ever took a breath.
How do you explain this to people who have never went through it?
You wouldn’t.
God would lead you to those He wants it revealed to as that will be your point of connection for a further work to be done.
Would I go through it again?
I’m scared to even answer that question.
I do know that I am fortunate to have gone through it.
Looking back, it was good that I was afflicted.
I know now that there is nothing that God can’t bring me through.
There is nothing that I can’t overcome with God.
I am not afraid to lose.
The only loss would be the love of Christ which I could never lose.
I am stronger.
I am better.
I am wiser.
I am…
With Christ in Me there is nothing I cannot accomplish.
Thank you, Lord, for walking me through every moment of this journey and carrying me when I could no longer go on. I know now I was never in danger. I was, am and will always be safe in your arms.
Holy Spirit:
My pleasure. Welcome to your new season. Embrace it as such. Do not carry the trauma of the journey into your new season. Do not operate out of the disappointments, confusion, struggle of old. Open your eyes, soften your heart, receive the new. As you trusted me then, trust me now. I know what is best for you in EVERY situation. Move on from what was. Lean into what is. Enjoy your new life. You have paid the price for it in full.

Question of the day?
Have you perceived the new season that you are in?
Open your eyes to the transition you have already made. All you may need to do is look around and change into the clothes that match your new environment. I know you may be scared to trust the new season out of fear of disappointment, but you know when you look around, space and opprotunity is there. The old has been wiped out and the new is available to you. God is telling you today, welcome. The new is here.
