You Are Not Stuck

I seem to keep reliving this "New" theme. It just keeps resounding in my heart over and over.  I am just so grateful for this breath of fresh air. 

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19)

 I am beyond exhausted of the New Years' resolution write ups encouraging change and motivation to be more in the coming year. No, that is not what I am after or trying to communicate. 

I could write a book about heartache and uncontrollable urges to just scream out loud at an open sky so at least I could be heard. 

I could sit and talk for hours about how I have been mistreated and blame others for decisions I made. 

I could tell you, "This year just feels different"...but then you might just let those words roll tide into the New Years' resolution mix. 

No. I am physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally a new person from the wife of 10 years, mother of 3, homemaker and homeschooling work at home mom I was just last year. 

It is not because of anything I have done on my own, but rather the saving grace that rescued me when I finally humbled myself and found forgiveness for the few that hurt me and stunted my spiritual growth for far too long and the series of unfortunate events I could not change.

I'm so grateful for the new thing the Lord is doing. It is not imaginary and it is almost in full bloom. I guess you could say I have been believing for a miracle and the Love of my Savior has brought it to fruition. 

Love is the greatest force there is and sometimes we have to force love in order to see change, even when we want to run the other way and keep hiding. 

When we let go of the past and push with all of our might to see restoration, our faith is put into action and THEN it becomes a live and active force that cannot be reckoned with. 

Did you hear me? Sometimes we have to "fake it till we make it" per say... Believing and loving at the same time could break down the wall of China. 

What walls have you been building upon? 

Are you sitting up in your tower afraid to come down and face the lies of the enemy that want to keep you trapped there?

I was. 

But I am free now. I first had to humble myself and then forgive when it wasn't even justified...because He did that for me. It was then that I was FREE. 

It took me years to realize that my brokenness would allow new things to grow.  The empty places would be filled when I humbled myself and allowed His forgiveness to wash over me and through me. 

What are you needing to let go of?  ...Because you are not stuck. 

This is not how the story ends.
