Speechless

Those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles
who knows, but that you have come to your royal position for a time such as this.

Hello my friends, it has been an amazing week - good things and bad things happened.....as I guess they happen to all of us everyday.......but I can say, that I am simply amazed at all that I am learning again - all the things that God is revealing to me.

Some of the bad stuff, had it happened last year or even before the summer, would have found me in utter despair, or at least crumbling and for a short while doubting if God was really on my side and with me at all times. But I can say: I've come such a huge and long way - nothing can rob me of this peace that only Christ can give. Even in the midst of dire circumstances, immediately I can feel the holy spirit rein my thought of worry, doubt, despair, yes maybe even fear, in and show me another perspective. Immediately I am prompted to pray, to ask the Lord to show me, what he sees in these circumstances, and at the same time, this intense trust takes hold of me, that he won't ever desert me and that he has my best interest at heart......and that I don't need to understand right now, why he allows this situation to appear. Right away, I know that he must have his reasons and that I will come out of it yet strengthened. Maybe I have to learn to see things still more through the eyes of grace or maybe through this, he is reaching yet 'un alma mas' - one more soul.......

And you know what, that is all fine with me - and ultimately I know, that he knows best anyway. 

My relationship with Christ is such of married couple, I don't do anything without his consent anymore - go wherever he prompts me to go, and I am blessed with the most amazing encounters along the way - how could I not trust him????

Tomorrow I am going on a field trip with my son's grade and I am so excited - we're going to camp (I am excited like a teenager). The best is, that we'll maybe even be able to go swimming, we'll have a bonfire and I bought stuff for smorres - pssssst, it's a surprise for the class :) - I get to go with my best parent friends, so it will be an amazing treat for all of us. I look forward to getting to know my son's classmates even better than I already know them. This is so amazing.

He also very clearly showed me, that if you feel condemned in any shape or form, that's the voice of the devil, as the voice of God is always encouraging, convicting yes, but never condemning. He calls us to be real and authentic, and listen to that small voice, that prompts you to step out in faith and dare things, you never thought you could, out of fear, what other people might think of you..... - but what other people think of you, is not relevant, as long as you are right with God - and that you will always be able to discern by the peace that floods your heart. Because the peace Christ gives surpasses all understanding and is not of this world.

Another thing that I realized, thanks to the revelations God gave me, is that in his kingdom things pretty much work up side down or better right side up, when you compare it to how things work out here in this world. So don't worry, if things start to happen backwards to you ;)

I wish y'all an amazing rest of your day, my friends, however many hours that means for you. I think you are all absolutely amazing, and of immense incredible value to God and his kingdom.

Blessings from my heart to yours always - 
Amen
