“For great is Your love, higher than the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.”
Psalm 108:4,5
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 songs and intimacy with Him in dreams, because as part of the bride of Christ, Jesus is my husband. 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.
November 5: 1:43 “Seben” (seven)
5:27 “Psalm 108”
I had a dream where I had just bought a new house that had many bedrooms on the second floor. I noticed that all the beds had a blanket; I saw a brown blanket and wanted to bring it to my bed. My bedroom was the master bedroom that was on the main floor. I noticed a single mattress. Then I was looking through a window from a very high floor and I saw a huge brown horse that was many stories tall, and there were many people trying to lead it. The people were smaller than the hooves. Then the horse began stomping the ground and some people got stomped on. Then the horse and the people had walked away and the people who got stomped on got up; they were okay. (I also woke up at 2:20.) On Nov 4, I woke up at 5:37 to these lyrics playing in my heart, “Jesus is alive, He’s alive, oh happy day, happy day.” When I hear about God’s sons and daughters having a crown, I always think it applies to others. I don’t seek a crown and I know I don’t deserve one. I know that I’m a daughter of the King. Blessings…🙏🏼 I’m sensing to stop posting my dreams because the work is finished. I will take opportunities when I’m invited to pray. I’m on the worship team this Saturday at the Christmas banquet; we’re singing 13 songs and I was asked to lead the song Gratitude. I’m excited about it… hopefully my voice will be okay with that many songs. Today I worked in the kitchen all day. In total I made three different kinds of soups for the banquet, two chocolate pies and tomorrow I’ll make two more pies. I figured out how to make gluten free pie dough better, so excited about that! Love and blessings…😇 Sunrise early this morning… 🙏🏼 Enjoying some green tea this evening with a chocolate zucchini muffin. And I have some Christmas lights up!! Tonight I’m planning on listening to Anna Werner. Blessings…🙏🏼 Today I made gluten free dairy free meat sauce with pasta. Yesterday I also took some photos of the beautiful northern lights. I baked two cakes for a birthday girl today. Both have strawberry sauce in the middle.
November 16: I love being involved with things (and I sensed to do that) so today I was the first one up on a few occasions (on the second occasion I was the first adult) to volunteer for something, one of them was to pray. And today I got 100 Bible bucks for one of the times I volunteered, and in total I got 148 Bible bucks today!! I bought a book with 250 Bible bucks last week (Culture of Honor by Danny Silk). There’s a toaster oven in my cabin and I love frying eggs in it for breakfast. Someone gave me a plant the other day called “The Crown of Thorns,” the kind of plant they used to make a crown for Jesus when they crucified Him. I saw yesterday that a flower had started to bloom! Today I’m going to be working in the kitchen washing dishes. I’m also going to be reading today and tomorrow and also practicing guitar…🫰🏼I’m so excited… today my parcels came from Amazon, gifts for my kids!! I also bought a guitar capo for myself! I’ve been practicing the song Gratitude and I love it! I didn’t know that the tips of my fingers would get numb, oh well, I love playing the guitar.🥰 I have my friend’s guitar in my cabin. I’m enjoying instrumental traditional Christmas music, gathering all my gifts for the kids. I’ll start to wrap tomorrow. Blessings…🙏🏼 I fasted and prayed on Monday to Wednesday; I had supper on Wednesday. Fasting is so difficult for me. I think one of the enemy’s tactics is discouragement, I’m focusing on learning how to pray scripture by reading a book, Beth Moore, “Praying God’s Word.” I’m baking in the kitchen this morning and helping with getting the second and third floors ready for a young adult’s retreat this weekend. Blessings…🫰🏼
November 23: Today I went kayaking on the lake. It was such a beautiful day. 🙏🏼
Dec 5: I have so much to be thankful for, and I am thankful for them, very much. Im reading Praying God’s Word by Beth Moore. When I pray scripture from her book my heart yearns for God so deeply, and I worship Him like I’ve not been able to for a long time. I’ve never worshiped God this way before and it’s reviving my heart. I’ve done my Christmas shopping so I’ll just buy some cream for my coffee. Love and blessings…
Dec 13: Practicing the song Gratitude…🙏🏼
Merry Christmas…
