Anything Means Anything


Why is it so hard sometimes to actually believe who we really are? The Lord will speak and reveal to us His thoughts over us and we will believe Him for a moment until the enemy simply distracts us with other insecurites. I have been on this journey with the Lord, intensely, for the past two years now. As soon as I feel like I get it, more is brought up in my heart that I have to deal with. But it is all for the sake of clearing my vision so I can truly see who I am in the Lord's eyes.

The Lord will never put us in any situation that we cannot handle with His help. Remember, He is the one that equips us and enables us. So, will we choose to walk in the grace set before us, or will we simply allow ourselves to be distracted by the enemy making a circus act out of our own insecurities? The Lord speaks who we are, and that is enough to break every chain. Being confident is one thing, but walking out in that confidence with a humility and grace is another. We need to know who we are, walk out in confidence as the Lord speaks, and we will always be readily equipped for what is next. The enemy just sits off on the side, trying to distract us, but the Lord is far more fascinating.

The Lord is the one who speaks our character; He is the one taking us on this journey because He wants to. Let's choose to listen to Him, because when we do, we will always walk ahead with the joy set before us in the midst of any circumstance or relationship.

I am currently in Oregon with my special lady. It has been a time of rest, processing, and battling these very insecurities in the midst of relationship; but it has also been a time of breakthrough and complete joy from the Lord. I am SO happy. As you guys know, I just got back from my two months in Ireland. I am still in debt with to my school because a lot of us didn't ever fully get the money we needed. I still need $600 to pay it all off. If you guys could pray with me and continue to ask the Lord to reveal His will and joy in the midst of this all, that would be amazing. And if you do feel led to help support me, that would be such a blessing. You can click the "Ireland" tab above to find out how to donate!
