Something’s Happening

The more I deepen my relationship with Christ, the more I recognize patterns in His communication and operation in my life.

For example, whenever there is a transition and/or shift happening in my life, it’s usually accompanied by other transitions and/or shifts. I think this is because God knows I can struggle with unpredictable change, so He often allows other changes to occur at the same time.

And this time is no exception.

There is a major, exciting change happening in my life, however, another change that’s happening simultaneously is laced with spiritual warfare. And on top of that, Superman’s truck suddenly needed new brakes, we have to repair a portion of our roof due to normal wear and tear, and my youngest Sonshine had an incident that knocked his front baby tooth loose.

In other words, most of February was hell.

And the crazy thing is, I knew it was coming. I’d had dreams in October and November warning me about impending spiritual warfare. So naturally, I prayed, covered my family, and rebuked the enemy. And yes, I know that no weapon formed against me will prosper. Still, I would’ve never imagined the weapons I’m currently experiencing.

As a result, this has been a fight where I can only depend on the goodness of God. None of the usual voices I depend on for spiritual nourishment and guidance have been working. The new devotional I started hasn’t even been able to provide me with relief. The only thing that has been working is reading and learning about the goodness of God. I’ve literally been standing on, and hiding behind, the fact that God is consistent, never-changing. My season has changed, but God hasn’t. My circumstances have changed, but thankfully, God remains the same.

While I wait for the victory, I’m finding solace in the fact that He doesn’t scroll past my life, decline my calls, or refuses to provide me with relief. His goodness means He speaks to me, He hears when I pray, and He acts when I ask. He’s not an idol incapable of interaction and intervention, He’s the Good Father who delights in the details of my life. And though I can’t see it yet, something’s happening for my good.

As long as I’ve had my ministry, I don’t know if there’s ever been a time where I so desperately needed A Day at The Well for myself. I can’t wait until April 20 to soak in His presence, to share my doubts and fears, and to encourage my faith, all within the safety of community. And if this sounds like what you need to experience while waiting to see the salvation of the Lord in this season of your life, join me! Something’s happening that day in Jacksonville Beach, register here to attend.
