“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” -Jeremiah 17:7-8
Conversation
Papa, I love You. Thank-You for Your Mercy and Grace. I can’t live without it; I need it every day of my life.
Come, My daughter, and rest. All is well with you. You are Mine.
Papa, I worship You. You are the King of my heart, and I will follow You wherever You lead. I trust You with my life. I give total control over to You. I know You will equip me for whatever You want me to do.
My daughter, the time has come. (Feeling like the old has passed away and the new has come.)
Yes please Papa. You have made me ready for this. I want what You want for my life. I welcome the new with open arms.
Then come My faithful one. You are Mine. I am well pleased with you.
Reflection
Hello and welcome to my Journal. Life in the valley can be very difficult, but we need to remember that God is always faithful. Right now I’m in a valley, being tested and pruned so that in God’s time I’ll be ready to walk out of this valley, Victorious! What I’ve been doing so I don’t stay in a place of despair is spending time with God and crying out to Him because I know He hears me and He loves me. I’m keeping on doing what He’s already asked me to do. I’m clinging onto hope because God is my firm foundation. God is faithful and I know that He will never let me down, and I’m going to stay faithful to Him. He has shown me His faithfulness more times than I can count, and I know His love through that. God gives me dreams and wakes me up at certain times. As you read my journal my hope is that even though I’m in a valley in my life, I hope you will be inspired to always keep your heart open to God no matter what’s going on in your life, because God is a God of Love and He always has a Good plan for our life. He knows how to lead us; we just need to trust Him and follow Him!
May 21: 12:55 I woke up, hearing many of these lyrics to this song in my heart, “Lift me up. Hold me down. Keep me close. Safe and sound… Burning in a hopeless dream, hold me when you go to sleep. Keep me in the warmth of your love, keep me safe, safe and sound. Lift me up, hold me down. Keep me close, safe and sound. Take some time and stay with me… keep me in the strength of your arms, keep me safe, safe and sound. I need love I need love, hold me hold me…”
4:46 “oh she’s beautiful, she’s apart of me, she’s my wife…”
5:20 “oh she’s beautiful, she’s apart of me, she’s my wife…”
I love you Jesus for eternity… I’m in a season where Jesus is growing my passion for Him. We the church, are His bride and I’m making myself ready for Him, waiting at the doorway for when He will return!!!
1:28 I dreamt I saw a lady in a room, facing me, and behind her I saw such a big, clear picture; I saw a very big window, and through the window I saw a really big beautiful pond with beautiful and colourful flowers and trees all around the pond. The scene was vibrant, rich, and full of colour, and it was a calm and sunny day. In waking life I was resting on my bed and had fallen asleep with “Two hearts on a cold street” playing. (“Now it’s just you and me…”) Then after writing down the dream I fell asleep again and woke up at 1:56 with the song, Hallelujah, playing. (the length of the song matches the time I woke up)
This morning I went for a run on the track and was planning on running 3 miles, but when I stopped to take a drink of water from my water bottle, my lower back began hurting a lot. I stretched again and tried running again but it hurt too much, so I couldn’t run today. I went home and went to the chiropractor at 11:00, and I’m feeling a lot better. I need to remember to stretch after running and workouts.
This afternoon I listened to, My King Forever, by Josh Baldwin, and another song that came on after that. While listening to the songs I poured out my heart to God and sobbed like I hadn’t done in a very long time. I believe that God is sitting on the throne of my heart again.. In the dream I had the other day where I was going to make my own coffee; I actually don’t want to make my own coffee.. the only coffee I want to have is if Jesus my husband makes some for me. In a dream I had so long ago, Jesus my husband came and sat down beside me on my right, with a tall mug of coffee in his hand. I would very much love that to happen… Blessings and Love ❤️🔥☕️
