Mountain Top Moments
I trust the next chapter because I know the author.
I firmly believe that everything God is preparing you for is worth the wait. The time He has given me will not go to waste. The waiting, the wondering, and will He come through. I look back on this year and wonder what all has happened. God has been teaching me obedience, discernment, leaning not on my own understanding and fully trusting Him. He has been pruning me and healing me to become the woman God created me to be. I sometimes think I complain a lot, but I'm just trying to be honest with where I'm at. I don't have to like being single, but I can be content with where I am at.
It might be weird for me to say this, but I look back in my twenties and I'm so glad I didn't get married. I didn't know who I was, what I wanted or where I was going. All the set backs, disappointments and rejections actually were a big blessing. Even though at the time it was painful and hard to understand. The past two years have really been my preparation seasons. I'll be honest, I never was one to be into relationships, I actually only liked the idea of one. But now I have been reading books, going to seminars, listening to sermons, and talking to my married friends. My entire perspective has shifted, and I'm glad I'm taking steps towards a healthy relationship and wanting to prepare myself while I'm still single.
The constant battle that we all face is the counterfeit of what God actually wants for us. We need to be more self aware of what we are giving our time too. It's important to be praying about the things that matter to us. I truly believe that we are going into a season of breakthrough. Big things are coming and He is in the midst of that. I may not be where I want to be yet, but I'm glad I'm not where I was. God has me right where I need to be right now. Change can happen so fast.
I have also been feeling the conviction of having authentic relationships. I have been feeling over the past few week .. that I'm just tired of people. and I mean the drama, not being open about how you feel, feeling like no one has time for you, the constant feeling in a room that everyone puts on a facade. As I get older, I finally realized how important it is to surround yourself with people who truly care about you, are honest, lift you up and walk life with you.
I think about how in the beginning of January it will be five years since I started ywam. And I couldn't be more thankful for that experience. I can say where I am now is literally the fruition of what God did during my time there. These past five years have not been wasted. We pray for time, and He will give it to you. He has truly healed me and brought me out of brokenness. He has brought me to places I never thought imagined, and will continue to do.
I think about my mountain top moment. When we were a few weeks in and I was sitting on the top of the mountain with Kara and I was struggling with something she was teaching me. Kara took in account to ask me how I was feeling, and how to talk through it. It was my first major breakthrough. It was a profound moment for me. We have a lot of these moments in life, and God is always teaching us.
It's time to really thrive! To live! To not let fear get in the way of His plans for you. To not let what other people have distract you from the riches in front of you. Embrace those around you, encourage one another, travel more, do more of what you love. I'm praying for this year to come to be full of riches, blessings, breakthroughs and more.
I’ll praise before my breakthrough
‘Til my song becomes my triumph
I will sing because I trust You
