You can't live if your spiritually dead...

I debated writing about this, didn't want to share my story, but God said this one was going to help somebody. It's not about me anymore but to start the process of healing and sharing my testimony. My past few entries have been about living, speaking out loud, claiming your destiny. Honestly, I have not wrote these things to encourage the viewers that read my blog, but to honestly encourage myself. For the past few years I have been the walking dead. I have had moments of joy, moments of peace, but I have not had the Joy of the Lord. I have been living for others, putting myself on the back burner, my dreams, aspirations.

I have allowed fear to be my guide, to be the captain of my ship instead of God. The one who wakes me up every morning, the one who loves me unconditionally, and has continued to carry me even when I couldn't carry myself. He has been my protector, the King in my life. But I hid his voice, I pushed his love aside and slowly died. You see when you experience true pain, true disappointment, you tend to cover up, not wanting to expose yourself. You become a chameleon, you just want to blend in. Standing out means someone may notice you, notice your hurt, shame and pain. If you know anything about spiritual warfare, fear is surely a tactic of the enemy, and if he can keep you in fear he can keep you in hiding, in captivity. You become easy prey.

Today I got up at 4:45am, and I went to the gym. I did some leg lifts and then I walked over to another machine, and I heard God say you need to run. So I immediately left the gym, walked through the gates of my complex, and I ran, sprinting. God said it's time to run to your future, you have went backwards long enough. You've lived in fear far to long. Enough is Enough. This run represents everything you've been through, and as your running things are dropping off, the wind that is flowing on you right now is my grace,  my favor and when those things are active confusion can not stay, deadness has to flee, and life has to enter.

God said I am breathing new life into you so that you can run the next leg of this race. You will win. You will be triumphant, don't be scared. Trust in me, in my word, I will not fail you. I'm crying as I type this because this has held my heart in captivity. He said there is to much that I have planned for you, and I need you to be strong, to be resilient. I can still use you; despite the heartache, despite the pain, I still have a plan for you and its working out for your good. You will make it, you shall live and not die. This time you will past the test. Say good bye to the dead, and hello to life. The bible says I come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly~John 10:10~

Sometimes letting go is one of the hardest things to do, but I believe we limit God when we do that. We give more control to our situation than to him..I pray out of my obedience that someone is blessed beyond measure by this. I speak life into
you right now, you shall live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inspirational ME

Dear God,
What is it about me that you love so much? I have been tried and tested, loved and lost...what makes you continue to let me be the one to pay the cost? I pray everyday, I read my bible, I've served in church and didn't care about the title. I continue to pray for others, more than I pray for myself, always inspiring them to do their best, yet I haven't passed this test? I am now working on me,  running my own race, living life at my own pace. God what is it about me that you love so much? I feel like I'm failing...and I can't do enough. My heart continuously in pain, even while I'm calling out your name.....I've lost my since of me and who I am supposed to be. The trials seem more than I can bare, and it seems so unfair. God what is it about me that you love so much, I didn't know the road would be this rough....

Dear My Child,
I love you so much that I allow you to go through. I knew you could handle these battles that "seem" to have overtaken you. I knew you wouldn't stop fighting, no matter how hard it got, that you would find a way to break through, I knew you wouldn't stop! You have a heart so big, that pain couldn't stay for long. I made you just for me, so the enemy had it all wrong. All the tests your going through I sent them your way, I needed you to be challenged, to prepare you for this next phase! It hurts, I know it does, but I love you nonetheless. You didn't have to be perfect you just had to pass the test. You are my inspirational me, tried and true, I only pick the best to go through. I know it hasn't been easy, but I promise you this, the BEST is just around the corner, so don't fix your eyes on this. I love you because your you, but sometimes we ALL have to go through. Remember your testimony because this one is going to BIG!  These tests were meant to stretch you and help pave your way. This is not your destination so don't be quick to stay! Faith is going to be essential, never let it go. Know that I love you, and this is just the beginning of the show. Remember I have great plans for you, and I am on your side, just let me control this ride. Use this time to get strong, to build your spirit man, I promise you that you will WIN!

The Purpose of the Process

How exciting it is when you get something NEW! Whether it's NEW clothes, NEW shoes, a NEW job, or a NEW car, NEW is somehow always better?!?! As we enter a new year, I wonder the path we all had to take just to get to the NEW part. I'm sure there were some sacrificies made, some things lost, and some found, all for us to get to this day.

The road probably got rough, uncomfortable, uneasy, quite painful, yet we stayed the course and we were rewarded. A new year, a new day, for us to do it all over again. I've come to understand that through this process called life, there is a purpose. There is a reason for my joy, my tears, my triumph, and even my failures. The key is to go through the process. That's the tough part. You have to purposely decide that whatever you are going through, I will by any means necessary go through it, around it, under it, over it, and come out victorious!

See I believe the New part is the icing on the cake, because I just may be tried with some old stuff, BUT because of God's grace, his mercy, his umerited favor, we have already conquered anything that comes our way. It doesn't have to be a New Year, for you  to walk into a NEW season, a NEW blessing, a NEW you... just be willing to go through the process.

This year, purposely decide to let God do the driving, strive to reach your goals, dream bigger than you have ever dreamed before, reach for the unreachable, and watch the Newness of God overtake you!

May you have a blessed and prosperous New Year!
