Conversation

Papa, I love You and I worship You.

Come, rest, you are Mine and I love you Caroline

Papa, I’m completely broken, but all things are possible with You.

Come My daughter, and I will give you rest. You are Mine forever.

Papa, I’ve made up my mind that I’m not tired and that I can keep learning how to follow You…

Faith. Endurance. Trust. Come…

I love You Papa, Jesus…

I love you My faithful one. You are Mine.

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! 

2:37 It’s gonna be alright. You give me your grace..

4:36 I’m not gonna let the fear talk me out of, your love for me, I not gonna let pain out of, your love for me.. (in my dream when I heard these lyrics, I saw the word “fear” and it stood out to me. It seemed to jump out at me, becoming a bit bigger and then going back to its regular size.

5:33 not gonna let fear talk me out of, your love for me..

7:29 I heard in my heart before waking up, “will believe in him forever…” I saw a line of cars driving

7:53 In my dream I saw a train conductor outside at a train station, lifting one of his arms up, indicating that a train had arrived (I think). He was wearing a hat that said, D-PENNER. (4 16)

During the night I dreamt that I was in a large empty room, and all the lights were on (it was very bright in the room). I saw people or something that represented people in the distance as I looked through the window; the whole wall was a window, and it was slightly darker outside so I knew they could see me very clearly and I began feeling very exposed. I sensed there was another person in the room with me. I had been in the middle of the room but had walked towards a wall where I wouldn’t be as exposed, and I asked the person to shut the lights off (the dream ended before the lights were shut off).

I know in my dream I had asked to shut the lights off, and maybe this is because there is nothing else to give to God, but if there is, I don’t want to stop Him from leading me closer to Him. This morning I saw a post that one spouse was building a bridge and kept on going when it was hard. He succeeded and the she began walking on the bridge towards him. The quote said, “Its amazing how far you’re willing to go when someone believes in you.” I believe in you Jesus…

Sidewalk cafe went well. I went with someone to Mainstreet to witness there and prayed with people. It wasn’t very busy actually, but while we were there I was wondering when we should head back and I kept on sensing to wait. So I didn’t say anything and waited. Right before it was time to go, a girl who was about 18-20 years old came by and I began talking with her and I led her to the Lord! She wasn’t on any drugs and looked like she was leading a normal life so I know she genuinely accepted the Lord! I invited her to church and I think she’ll come! As we were walking back to the church she was sitting on a curb and reading the material I gave her. I’m so excited about that! I’m looking forward to next week. My thumb is doing better today. It still hurts and is weak but it’s getting better as I’m typing. Today we’re working out on our yard. At the Forks with Bella we ordered and shared a plate from Zorba’s Greek restaurant. I love Greek food:) Love Believe Trust – Blessings… ❤️‍🔥 I was napping in one of the hammock this afternoon and had a quick dream of two people that had been behind a residential garage and were running on opposite sides of the garage to the front, seeing who could get inside the garage first. I had a quick picture of it and the big garage doors were open. I’m not sure what this dream represents but I think I need to sit up front again this Sunday.. Goodnight…
