#ThisIsOurGod
"God is attracted to need, and He brings faith where there is need. He is attracted to mourning because that is where He brings great comfort to it. God is not intimidated by sin. Where sin abounds, Grace is there. Here is the Lord who is drawn to things that we think is aren't okay. And He actually is drawn to bring comfort, righteousness in place of sin, gift of repentance, strength where there's weakness and to give faith where there is lack."

indeed Grace was there before any situation.
for a country that has birthed the greatest legends,
nothing can withhold what He has installed for the nations.
revival has already begun, and salvation is here.

The total unexpected...
to have the least priority to come to fruition first was definitely not on my list for this year as there are plenty more on my plate that i am still trusting G for -- which in the natural is filled with endless impossibilities but yet know that it will somehow fall into its place when Grace is in charge. oh a miracle i need, a miracle i shall definitely have and more. and with the current change, i cannot pinpoint what is it that i am open to, as clearly the differences are extremely vast from all sorts which is surfacing as the day goes on.
have officially dropped all pasts experiences, including my own pride and rules that i have summed up all these years... and being entirely vulnerable with no more cards nor tricks on my deck is strangely effortless. being able to trust someone with your entire life and heart is definitely risky... oh the list is scarily real but yet there is some kind of rest and ease about it.
we are definitely venturing into something that only Grace can shine its light and wisdom on it. it is not just praying but also learning to lean on what the Spirit yearns for us to which is as hard as it is because the flesh is disgusting weak. so here goes to involving every bit of Jesus there is, because we don't want the feel good stuff, but more God stuff that resonates deeply into our heart and souls, and in turn transform us to mirror His likeness.
it's all on You J. it always have been, and always will be. xxx

Comparing is glaring...
"Comparison will consistently cloud the clarity of God's call in your life."
Robert Madu
Rich with gratitude...
Maybe what we're looking for in riches,
we can find on the other side of gratefulness.
Flowing with encouragement...
"If you're bursting with news about something the Lord has done in your life — an answer to prayer, a long-awaited blessing, a surprising provision — you don't want to spill the beans to just anyone. Like Mary, you long to tell somebody who will get it. A friend who will say, "Praise God!" instead of, "Lucky you.”
The moment Mary arrived, another miracle occurred. "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb" (Luke 1:41a, NIV). If a mom-to-be eats something sweet or drinks something cold, an unborn child often responds with a swift kick. But this was different: "and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit," (Luke 1:41b, NIV).
Can you fathom the emotions and sensations that must have washed over Elizabeth? An urge to laugh and cry at once, a sense of being flooded with sunlight and fresh air, an overwhelming desire to shout with joy. And shout she did. "In a loud voice she exclaimed: 'Blessed are you among women ...'" (Luke 1:42a, NIV).
Think of it! Two ordinary women bound together by an extraordinary God, empowered by His Holy Spirit.
Mary and Elizabeth had a friendship that shines through the ages. Shared faith, shared joy, shared experience. If you need someone to listen, advise and empathize, consider a woman you know who could use that same kind of support from you. When encouragement flows both directions and honors the Lord, that's a friendship that will go the distance.”
Better than who I use to be...
"Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'm better than anyone else. It means I'm better than me. Better than who I used to be."
Matt Bartgis
Oh December December...
oh december december, you have indeed started in the most unexpected manner. it truly is a month of decisions to be made, battles to conquer, and opportunities to head into. so many mixed emotions the heart has endure, but like G. has mentioned, it is He who saves, who heals, who makes all things abound to us and for us.
worship is not just in those anointed feel good moments, but in times where no human hands nor resources can alter nor improve any given situation. it is in this kind of posture where we surrender it all to the One who's eyes is forever upon us.
have decided from this day forward to surround myself in environments where my heart is free, light and appreciated. it is tough because of an upbringing of grace for all, no matter the cause nor severity but there shall be wisdom for this.
let everything now be led not by my heart, but Your spirit because it is so easy to be swayed by the surface and facade all around. in everything, and that includes times of distress and worry, we will shout forth His glory whom never fails to disappoint.
"Your light will shine in the darkness..."
indeed Your greatest glory in our lives is upon us which is far above what we have experienced through our senses. i am not satisfied, because i simply know there is more, much more. xxx

Timing is everything...
sometimes when what you have always wanted catches up, and all along you thought you may have desired for this, but then you realized that what the heart has once felt soft for no longer has a beat -- absolutely nothing and all blank spaces. and you are now faced with a past attempting to become your present. all i am saying is that i am still grateful for the grace from last time, but those were meant to be rellished then and definitely not now.
surreal and unexpected as it is, timing is everything. everyday and moment matters. a simple difference can alter your life completely. xxx
