Our Sweet Savior Will Even Speak Through Candy Crush

So....I'm very new to Candy Crush. I heard all the warnings about how addicting it is and blah blah blah. I decided I was not going to even learn what it was. I would not accept an invitation to play, I wouldn't even google it to see what it was. I chose ignorance as bliss. THEN on a road trip I sat in the rear driver's side seat and the front passenger seat occupant was playing Candy Crush, so I saw it, so I wanted to play, so I did, so I'm hooked. :(

I have been stuck on a level for a couple days and I call it impossible. I think it is soooo hard because I have to clear the boxes, there is a box in the middle and locked boxes... Man talk about tough. Then at the end of my last life for the night.....I discovered that the locked boxes I was so worried about were not even part of clearing the level!!! I thought to myself MAN if I had only read the directions and then payed attention to just that I might be so much farther!

Then God immediately said in that moment:
I have given you instructions, if you would only read them (His Word - The Bible) and fix your focus upon me, stop worrying about things outside of what I have planned for you, then you will be much further along the path I have laid out for you!!!

I'm getting rid of the distractions
I will fix my eyes upon The Lord
I will use his word as a lamp onto my feet

Thus the daughter of the king declares in the mighty name of her defender Jesus Christ!

Neon Signs

WOW!! What a day!! I started the day feeling anxiety for having to return to work and I battled all the way trying to focus on praise and good thoughts. I got to work to learn that in what was already a very short staffed department, three more people were leaving at the end of the week and the boss I should have had starting yesterday...is not at work as of yet...?? can we say ATTACK!! Before lunch friends that just went with me to Seeds Conference, started a group chat just to talk about how on fire they still were and loving it. It was full of encouragement and laughter and blessing. At lunch I started reading Rick Renner's Dressed to Kill. I didn't get far at all, but I did get to read that Jesus went to Hell and defeated Satan as if he had stripped him naked and took all weapons he may have had and left him without a single tool, THEN publicly humiliated him! Tonight I watched Faith Church Online and the worship was songs the group chat had referenced, the message was about putting breath into dry bones! Speak into the situation which would appear dark the light it needs, just as God spoke light! Then just more moment after moment and God's Neon sign to remind me he has all of this under control. I was so blown away by his lavish lavish ways I came to tears. So:

I make a prophesy over my $250,000 student loan, car, home, credit card, legal fees, medical fees debt right now that the balance IS vaporized!

I have a feeling everything is going to be alright! Look what the Lord HAS done!! NOW! :)

WOW!!

Journey of a Sell Out

I have been in a place of my life where I knew one of the two major components of my life was temporary, perhaps even both. I have remained faithful to God as I waited for his wisdom to guide me in the direction he wants me. I have served him where I was/am, I have loved him, worshiped him, and honored him.

The days, weeks, months, and years leading to now have not been easy. They have been long, hard, unhealthy, tormenting, and worse struggles.

God has told me to become a SELL OUT.

I will be selling my possessions (or giving them away-whatever he leads me to do.) I will willingly leave the job/things I have allowed to be my security and I will make him my one and only comforter and watch as he comes through and he provides. I will devote my time, resources, education, and talent all for his work and glory. (I am already a million times more happy and peaceful just thinking about this!)

I will be using this page to post about how God works, what he teaches me along the way, and the history behind the struggles and choices. I will not sugar coat. I will remain honest. I hope you enjoy. I am excited to invite you along with me on this journey!
