footnotes in the journey

how do i articulate what an adventure it is to walk with Jesus?

- this season has been humbling, but very good. i've been a nomad for more than half a year, been dependent more and more on God to provide for my daily needs, learning to live simply. been through such testing times. but you realize that God is truly all you need when God is all you have.

- it IS possible to be connected to God 24/7. I'm growing in confidence that I CAN be a carrier of His presence and anointing. I WANT to be constantly in His presence. There's no better place.

- what I think is impossible is really nothing to God. like really really. my impossible circumstances in this season are merely an opportunity for Him to show me who He is and how great He is.

- i really don't understand the intensity of the spiritual battle sometimes. the enemy does try really hard to discourage me. it's amazing how we can so easily believe the lies that undermine our identity, our worth, our purpose in God. but as always, i am persevering and growing my "good" stubbornness. i am growing my spiritual muscles! :)

- the Holy Spirit is amazing. how He can speak to us and through us is phenomenal! these are like the days that Acts 2 talks about- a wave of the Holy Spirit being poured out afresh on us. it's so exciting to see spiritual gifts being developed and people moving more in the spirit. i am believing for the young men and women to rise up and speak prophetically, have supernatural boldness to share the Gospel, for signs and wonders!

- the where and the when isn't as important when i know the "what". there are still so many important decisions to make about the future. i keep asking God about where and when, when i should have been asking Him about what He has in store for me, about His purpose in my life. When i understand the purpose and the call He has over my life, the where and the when doesn't seem so important anymore. As long as i'm walking in His will and obeying, i'm sure He'll take care of the where, when, and especially- the HOW.
