Today is the day—the final opportunity for another upset bid before the sale is final (or maybe it’s already final? I’m not entirely sure). Either way, it feels significant.
Yesterday was amazing. I had one-on-one time with M, where I was able to share what’s been happening in our lives. I also met someone new for lunch, and we decided to start the study Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free. I’m really looking forward to that!
Later, E and M came over for dinner, cards, and a powerful time of prayer—which lasted past 1:00 a.m.! Even though I was exhausted and just wanted to sleep, the prayer time was so good. I woke up this morning repenting for my weak flesh and selfishness.
Sunday’s Acts Bible Study was also a blessing. We ran into a couple we hadn’t seen in 10 years—definitely a God appointment. As we shared what the Lord is doing in our lives, they deeply related and expressed a desire to meet with us again.
When I shared with C about how God kept bringing up Mary and the birth of Jesus, she immediately said the word “birthing”—as if God was birthing something new.
I didn’t think much of it at first, but then M pointed out that from our last house payment in April until now is exactly 9 months—the length of a pregnancy.
Wow.
This morning, as I was lying in bed processing everything, I suddenly felt energized—a deep sense of expectation rising within me.
And then I laughed—because the word “expecting” ties right into pregnancy and birth.
It’s like God is giving birth to something in our lives.
On Sunday, our pastor called, but we didn’t connect until yesterday. He shared that he had prayed all last week but hadn’t received any specific direction from the Lord.
Then, this week, he felt the Lord saying:
"Something happened with you this past week that would clarify things for you."
Tom and I couldn’t think of one major thing, but rather, a series of confirmations—God continually affirming that we are exactly where we’re supposed to be.
We were so thankful that he didn’t come back with a “date” or anything like that.
Thank You, Jesus.
Last night, CB sent out a devotional that spoke directly to my heart:
The Lord asks: Are you not in My kingdom? Do you not live in the Kingdom of God? Is not My Word true?
Many of you are like grasshoppers in your own sight. You are not receiving by revelation the glory of My Kingdom...
None of you is without strength. None is weak. None is without revelation, for I live within you. My Word I give unto you, and My Spirit I bring upon you to confirm that which has been hidden in your heart.
Fear not. Lay aside all doubt, and come boldly before the throne of grace, and you shall receive, says the Lord.
What a timely and powerful reminder.
God, I trust You.
I choose to expect the new thing You are bringing forth in this season.
Amen.
