“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Romans 8:35,37

Papa
“Faith as small as a mustard seed”
Papa, there was a time where I wouldn’t have been able to answer the question about how to grow our faith, but now I’m well able to answer it. It’s when we follow You and do what You ask us to do. In my walk with You, You’ve always asked me to do things that have been out of my comfort zone, and when I obeyed, my faith in You grew.
What else My daughter..
In order to follow You, I’ve needed to spend time with You and learn to hear Your voice. As I’m spending time with You my heart and soul get filled with Your presence and this is how my spirit gets nourished. This is also how my love for You grows and I have a better sense of Your love for me.
Well said My faithful one. You are Mine and I love you.
Thank-You Papa, Holy Spirit for nourishing my heart/soul and my spirit all these years. Thank-You for showing me what love is, who You are, and who Jesus is…
Come, lets cross the finish line together. Well done My daughter.
I love You Papa.
I love you My daughter.
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 as I’m waiting is spending time with God and 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 all the time 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! Very often God draws my heart to Him through love songs! My love for God/Jesus keeps on growing as I continue to pursue Him. During the night God wakes me up at certain times with either a word from Him and/or a dream. So here’s my journal entry for today..
11:46 In my dream I saw a man wearing a small-checkered plaid buttoned up shirt. I didn’t see his face, just his chest as he walked towards me.
12:12 I woke up, sensing a reminder to write that the plaid shirt had two pockets on the chest.
12:13 I saw yellow and blue together.
1:51 Someone came to someone’s post (a place where they were keeping watch) and asked where the person was who was keeping watch (after this dream I went downstairs to pray). Before going to bed last night I declared a few declarations (BN), one of them was the one about having a good sleep. When I first saw it I didn’t declare it because I thought what if the Lord wants me to get up at night and pray? I’ve done this for awhile, doing spiritual battle. A few nights ago I sensed that I needed to get up and that it was very important, and because I came to pray, I had victory dreams. The night after that I hardly had anything from the Lord and I sensed that it was time to rest and sleep more at night. This last night I didn’t know if I was just not listening if I slept without going downstairs to pray, so even though I declared that declaration about having a good sleep, I didn’t want to miss the Lord so I went downstairs just in case. In between falling asleep I sensed the Lord telling me to rest, so as I was going upstairs I heard in my heart some lyrics to the song, Holy Forever.
2:24 Rest, my daughter.
2:31 I heard something about diving in.
2:44 Rest My daughter
3:11 Rest My daughter
3:13 “A thousand generations, falling down in worship, singing songs forever to the Lamb. And the angels cry, Holy, all creation cry’s, Holy. You are lifted high, Holy, Holy forever.” (Here I went back up to sleep)
6:11 “This love is a, band of gold…”
I got up shortly after 7:00 and had had this dream: My mom needed to cancel work for the day to stay home with her baby; that was the only way because I had an appointment I needed to go to. Then I was on the highway and there was someone there with me who had a car. The car was parked beside the highway; there was a car coming from the opposite direction that passed us, and another car was coming, feeling like it was going in slow motion, driving very near to me. It felt like the car stayed beside me, like someone walking up to me and staying. I was between our parked car and the highway, walking alongside the hood and running my fingers along a long indented line on the top of the car. I’ve also been wondering if God wants me to go back to work, subbing, and I’ve been sensing not to, feeling like I’m in a season of being home and cherishing every moment I have left with my kids before they grow up and leave to live their own lives; I’m grieving them already. I’m wondering if this dream represents that (where the baby represents family), that I need to stay home and enjoy them before they leave. Love and Blessings…❤️🔥❤️🔥
Sept 6: 11:40 (ish) I vaguely dreamt of seeing shoes that had a lot of designs on them, including many designs that looked like eyes. This was very vague.
11:50 I had a realistic picture of my husband seeing me as we faced each other…
3:47 “I don’t deserve this, you look perfect tonight…”
5:09 I had a quick dream of watching a jet taking off, going up at a steep angle. (I had come to the conclusion that I was going to go to the Hawaiian restaurant, also thinking that this weekend could be another opportunity)
5:14 I heard something about a pastor, and seeing a square thing like a CD or DVD
5:26 I vaguely saw 3, 5 dollar bills.
5:28 “She shares my dreams I hope that someday I’ll share her home…”
5:30 A vague picture of a bus
5:32 “Though none go with me, still I will follow. Though none go with me still I will follow. Though none go with me still I will follow, no turning back, no turning back. The cross before me, the world behind me..”
Today I’m picking up my mentor from her place at 11:20, and we’re going to Honu Poke on St Mary’s… I’m remembering my dream about having three days of food and seeing three burgers; this place serves Hawaiian food. Today at Shopgym I did a handstand where I lifted my legs straight up! My coach didn’t get it on video though, too bad. I’m so nervous about diving into the water on Saturday.. 🫰🏼
Honu Poke is amazing!!! I ordered their Seoul Crunch Chicken Burger and Potato Wedges combo, with Strawberry Dragon Fruit Juice. My Ticket number was 84 and on the way there I saw a licence plate (a word) that I wish I could remember, and it ended in 22; I remember thinking it was perfect for today, hoping I was understanding right… Changing the subject, I just wanted to say that the reason why I gave $80 for the diapers is because of seeing 4+4 fingers in a dream awhile ago (I noticed this evening that my photo shows four fingers on each hand as I’m holding the burger…). Yesterday when I said that when I look at Jesus in my heart, my heart lands on him, I wasn’t thinking about my favourite show (Crash Landing on You); it dawned on me later that day that I had used the same word, land, and I thought that that was so neat!!! I wore my plaid shirt that has two pockets.. The plaid material I saw in my dream was like the pair of dress pants I have (brown), but I don’t have a shirt that goes with it that has two pockets, so I wore my jean skirt. I’m volunteering at the World Cafe on Sunday. Tonight my kids and I will be watching a movie together, though I’m not sure yet which one. I’m going to read a bit before then. I’m not sure yet what time we’re going to the pool tomorrow, but I want to get diving over with so I’m planning to head straight there. I had a vague dream of going down the short water slide by the deep end (saw red though I’m not sure if that water slide is red), so I’m going to go on it as well. Yesterday I begged God not to ask me to go sky diving!! I think I would faint.. Bella got on the Volleyball team, and I’m so happy for her and proud of her! 🌹Love and Blessings… We’re going to watch the Matrix.. I’m at Part Two in my Boundaries book..
