HELLO HEART PARTNERS…I hope you are all SOARING through JANUARY, and working hard on moving forward in ALL YOU ARE CALLED TO DO! I am reminded by YAHUAH that anything and everything HE has called me to do in this season is IMPORTANT, and that goes for YOU too! There are many verses in HIS WORD to help us remember how our acts or works can point others to HIS KINGDOM…but in each season as we seek HIM, He will provide the word YOU specifically need! Here is mine at this time…Luke 9:62 Cepher. “And YAHUSHA said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of ELOHIYM.” Now for some of you it will be very important to read the entire passage so you understand context…but in my season I truly GET what He is saying here as sometimes in the midst of change and transformation one can LONG to LOOK BACK, maybe even COMPARE and CONTRAST…NO THANK YOU!!!! I am where HE has me, and in this NEW PLACE I CHOOSE TO GROW with and for HIM!
Okay, YAHUAH never gives me a message without taking me through a series of SYMBOLS because HE created me and knows this is how I think, process, and move forward! Thus…THE FOG! As most of you know I moved to a NEW STATE…and the city in which I live happens not only to be DRENCHED in HIS BEAUTY…but also it is a VALLEY in which FOG likes to settle in the winter! For some that I am acquainted with they find the FOG unappealing and can bring them down…but for me I find it MYSTERIOUS, and only leading to discover YAHUAH’S presence in my life even more!
So, as we entered 2025…I had looked forward to NEWNESS, and had put my best FAITH forward in believing things would get easier as I continued to TRUST, PRAY and FOLLOW YAHUSHA!! Now, I am not one to do “NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS,” but as we turn the page on the GREGORIAN calendar I had to actually process this is not the “true” NEW YEAR for me, and VERY APPROPRIATE the NEW YEAR is actually April 1 following the JULIAN calendar! Remember YAHUAH speaks to me deeply through symbols so keep reading as YOU may need this for healing too! On March 28, 2024 I finished a huge part of my career after 21 years, (total 41 years), completing the sale of our family home, and moving my family to a NEW STATE! As my husband was already home in heaven…it was time to give the young folks in my life a CHANCE to follow YAHUAH and gain MORE of HIS LIFE than ever! So, as I reflect on ALL YAHUAH has done over the past 9 plus months, HE reminded me that my NEW YEAR is the official and historical NEW YEAR…APRIL 1, 2025!! My dear sister pointed this out to me, it made so much sense, but more importantly she was giving me facts that would ENCOURAGE my heart and help me finish my process…so as I prayed and sought our FATHER…HE showed me how we would close the past YEAR after my departure and open a BRAND NEW YEAR and SEASON of my life! WHEW…It was a relief to learn this for me as 2025 meant nothing to me and there was nothing NEW or EXCITING, which I know our CREATOR, and HE always has NEWNESS when we SEEK HIM! So it is almost mid-January and I press on toward HIS marker for me!
As I walk forward INTENTIONALLY looking for YAHUSHA’S signs and symbols, I am seeing and experiencing HIS PRESENCE in a DEEPER than ever way! HIS word jumps off the page and shows up in the most unlikely places!!! My daughter walked into a classroom, snapped this pic and sent to me! I KNEW YAHUAH was with her and SPEAKING volumes too! My heart calmed…yet again!
I had a coffee date with a new friend, and through our joy of sharing about all YAHUAH is doing, she encouraged me to hike a nearby mountain/trail with my dogs…and “SEE WHAT I COULD SEE!” For me a clue was right there in her words…so the next morning I ventured on this NEW to me trail…WOW! We started off hiking in complete fog and clouds…taking pics of turning points so we could make it back to my Jeep! When we had gone about 1 1/2 miles we climbed HIGHER and lo and behold…we were above the FOG and looking out seeing the MOST MAJESTIC pictures of HIS BEAUTY! We kept hiking around this amazing mountain and began to descend…asking each other if we were ever going to find the JEEP…and all of a sudden in the great distance we see…OH HIS FAITHFULNESS!
DO YOU SEE?? Absolutely stunning views…But it was not over…the Holy Spirit began to speak to my heart about how I was able to MOVE through the UNSEEN to move forward last March…and I listened…You see my daughter and I wondered if we should HIKE this new trail in the FOG…but we encouraged each other that YAHUAH was before us and we could keep going to SEE what HE had in store for us!! This was basically the same chat we had as we drove 11 hours on March 28 to our NEW WORLD..our NEW HOME! ALL GLORY TO HIM!
So…ONWARD…and just to give you another example…here’s a great LESSON! You seen I am still learning about my new Jeep and figuring out how to maneuver it in tight spaces…well I was blocked in and did not want to bother the owner of the vehicle so my daughter and I decided to do a 6-7 point turn and see if I could get out…well all went well until we returned home and I see that my Olive Tree is on the ground with a VERY SMASHED pot!!! I began to question how did I do that…and then I see a scratch on the other vehicle…immediately thinking I had caused it…but NO YAHUAH had some things for me to learn…you see through the gift of a friend I was told to look closely, and look at the height of your bumper…HMMM I saw it…there was no possibility! OKAY but the tree…the pot…and then I realized how high my clearance is and well of course absolutely possible that I knocked it over! All of a sudden I began to SEE HIS purpose…because when something “not so great” occurs I blame myself and now YAHUAH was doing a NEW THING in me…showing me the LOGIC in happenings, and allow myself to receive the lessons of GRACE…REAL GRACE! So, I re-potted the tree and cleaned up my mess…and ALL WAS WELL! Here’s my take away…I used to look to other’s to help me out of TIGHT SPACES…or MESSES…but NOW I LEAN into and onto YAHAUH my FATHER and grasp my lessons as they come! And…remember to take every thought captive…2 Corinthians 10:5 ”Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of ELOHIYM, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of MASHIACH!”
As I close for now…I hope whatever “FOG” you may be living in right now…will become your new learning ground, because whatever we are doing, wherever we are YAHUAH is with us and is intentionally orchestrating our lives for HIS purposes! We truly are NEVER ALONE! Isaiah 43:18-19 Cepher “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it? I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
I am always here praying for each of you, and if my story can help your heart or process in any way…I consider it all done for HIS GOOD!
SHALOM and RISE ABOVE,
DanaKae
There’s the amazing mountain we hiked around without the FOG today!
