I recently asked God a question, he answered no. Or so I thought. Nevertheless I began to praise God for that no. I thought to myself, am I worthy of just blessings and not trials or tribulations. Honestly, I'm not. So many times the Bible tells us be still and know that He is Lord. He reminds us countless time that He will fight our battles for us. We just have to learn to be still.
So in my moment of stillness the Lord sent me a revelation. God said to me "before you were born, before you were even in your mother's womb, this was planned for your life. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. The situation that you're going through is not new to Me my child. Keep the faith and know that I am Lord, I am God, and God alone."
Unknowingly to myself, God had strategically place people in my life to help me when I need. To be there to listen. To be a shoulder to lean on. To be a hand to wipe away my tears. To be my voice when I am weak. To give me advice when I need it the most.
So, I realized as it never a no. He was telling me not now, be still. He was preparing me for a testimony. Those people, those darling little angels, were there to fight for me. Maybe my answer will be no in the long run. But I have confirmation of what I hoped for. I've given people hope when they have felt hopeless. I have been to that voice in the back of their mind telling them not to give up, that they can do it. I have allowed them to feel as if they are not in these situations alone. Not even trying I have said I have done exactly what I set out to do. I have inspired, I have helped, ultimately I've changed lives. Maybe I won't be place where I want to be and I'm okay with that because I know that the Lord I serve will place me where I'm supposed to be. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Maybe this chapter is closing but it does not mean that this book it's over. The enemy may think that he has won this battle, and maybe he has. But I will win the war because I have the Lord on my side.
No amount of words to express how my heart feels right now. My cup literally runneth over. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude from the help from His people... To go above and beyond to help little ol me. Someone once told me that you get what you put into this world. In the past 24 hours, I have been shown that I have put so much into this world- not even trying. That allows me to continue to step out on faith, not being able to see that next step but knowing that is there because of the LORD, the God, our Savior that we serve.
