HELLO HEART PARTNERS!! I trust your week is going well, and if NOT…sit down and take some deep breaths and allow OUR FATHER to breathe HIS LIFE INTO YOUR ENTIRE BEING! We must remind ourselves that this brand new, sparkly year is not a RACE…but instead an intentional time to CHOOSE steadiness, unwavering, and methodical progress! I love Psalm 27 (all of it) but in verse 14 I stop and hold my heart tightly…”Wait on El-Yahuah: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say on El-Yahuah!” I love it also in The Message…”I’m sure now I’ll see God’s goodness in the exuberant earth. STAY WITH GOD! Take heart. Don’t quit. I’ll say it again: STAY WITH GOD!” Now…I can even breathe more evenly, and I feel YAHUAH’s breath of LOVE…there is NO NEED to rush my daughter, as the future is completely in my hands! YES FATHER! I choose YOU and YOUR timing!

So…I ride my indoor bike in the 28 degree garage…and as I cycle to warm up, I begin to ask our Father about healing, restoration of my limbs that were recently broken, and for relief in my lungs! I search HIS word and find encouragement again…Exodus 15:25-26 Amplified (when Moses was speaking to Yahuah) Then he cried to the Lord, [for help], and the Lord showed him a tree, [a branch of] which he threw into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There the Lord made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, saying, “If you will diligently listen and pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and listen to His commandments, and keep [foremost in your thoughts and actively obey] all His precepts and statutes, then I will not put on you any of the diseases which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.” My heart beats faster…and I ponder, can I diligently listen to HIM/HIS commandments, can I do what is right in HIS sight, pay attention to HIS voice, and keep HIS precepts and statutes? I stop and ask YAHUAH to search my heart…to go into the deep waters and reveal anything in me that’s not of HIM…AH-HA the answers start flowing…and I pen my gifts and gratitudes in my journal…counting each one since the first! I sit amazed…HE IS YAHUAH that heals!

I am ALL IN in HIS process for me, and make a NEW commitment to not INSERT my own agenda, and to NOT feel like I have a right to RUSH YAHUAH on anything or any prayer in my LIFE! I read HIS word again…Ecclesiastes 3:1 (a favorite) “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens.” There it is…I must surrender my will, and not even entertain a thought that YAHUAH should do something in my timeline, but instead I put my total FAITH in YAHUAH, and TRUST HIM for all of my needs!

My cycle comes to a slowing…my heart beats lighter…and I receive a song from a dear friend, who wrote it…and I see the title…”Why-Rush.” I listen closely and follow the lyrics which were originally written as a poem…My heart is greatly comforted from this extraordinary song, beautiful in lyric and sound! I give thanks, and hold deep gratitude for this woman of Yahuah who gave me words today to hold onto! I ask our Father to speak to each of you, and to encourage you with this life-giving song today!

Sending so much love to each of you…and if you kind of tripped up in the first 15 days of the NEW YEAR…like me…HOLD your heart steady and begin again with your INTENTIONS!

Shalom,
