I have recieved a promised more than 5 years ago through prophetic word, by both a well know Prophet in our church and other visiting prophets that a new season was coming.

I have held onto that word for what has seemed like the longest time, I have conquered some of my giants and dealt with many a hurt ... yes, even had a few tantrums (hey I'm human) along the way ... but NEVER would I give up on that prophesy ...something just has to give and it's all about the waiting.

Well the waiting is over , the seasons are indeed changing but it has come not without challenge and adversity for the short term future ... my challenge now is to trust God , He will provide and I will overcome these challenges ... our God is good all the time and His hand is all over this change!

As I sit here, I find my emotions are fluctuating from ecstatic joy, to sheer panic , to relief and then to palpitations ....yep you got it! I'm praying for God's peace right now.

The word that I personally got from God at the beginning of this year was, 'get out of your comfort zone' ...sheesh!

So I have ...
I have moved life groups , I have taken on a healthy living plan , I have started exercising and now I have a new future ahead ... a change of Season for sure and Amen!

I just want to encourage you to hang on , trust God and believe in all His promises no matter how long the wait.... your Faith will be rewarded.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.- Hebrews 11 v1

Last night we had a guest speaker at our church, man who spoke such wise words and such a wonderful truth about 'choosing the story we live'

I know that the life I live is often frowned upon by some , others look and cannot understand how I could possibly forgive so easily , reach out and take someone back in that has hurt me ... my answer is 'I choose God's Life Story'.

Now don't get me wrong , I am not perfect and I fight battles every single day , but I also have victories every single day and no matter how small ... they are victories!

What really touched me last night on a deep very deep level was that as we were worshipping and later praying for people, the focus being not living in 'mediocrity' but rather reaching your full potential to further God's kingdom , the speaker walked around and spoke Prophetic Word into peoples lives to whom he was drawn by God.

I asked God to just give me a sign , speak to me about my life as I have wrestled deeply this year , making peace with certain outcomes in my life. The speaker finished up and I thought ..' stop being selfish this is not just about you' your life is being lived on God's timing not yours.

I went to speak to a couple from my life group ... ' my spiritual parents ' if you will. I had not seen them for sometime and had to claim my hugs at that exact moment the speaker walked past ... he doubled back and walked up to me to ask me my name and proceeded to Prophesy over my life.

He shared so much that was spot on and that only God would know , the amazing thing is that I have had similar (80%) spoken over my life by another person unbeknownst to him.
Part of this word is that I am going into a new season of Spring & Summer ...

I have been going through some dark times and to hear this brought me to tears , to hear God acknowledge the hurts , the pain and the desire for a new season ... Thank you Lord!
(the picture above represents how I feel so well)

As I look forward to what God has install for me and wait on him, I encourage you keep talking to God , keep dreaming and never let go...live a God life and you'll smile through the tears.
