The Holiness of 2020

 What do I mean by the Holiness of 2020? 

All this year has brought about for me is revelling in the God who IS. 

A few years ago I was in a series of horrible situations. I was doing good/ right and got stabs in return. I didnt even want to be there But God led me there - in dreams, in prophetic, in visions and words of affirmations and confirmations and through His word, I was adamantly led to be right, there. 
It was HARD. I mean, I cried myself to sleep most nights. I just wanted to be obedient but I didn't even know in what exactly. I just knew I was supposed to be there. They were not my normal. That whole season and it's people were not what I was familiar with. And being the overly introverted one (specifically in that season), it was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to brave - choosing to stay. 

Amidst all of the fleshly craziness of that season, on the spiritual side of things, there were massive heavy revelations and prophecies being released about the nation and the world. and it was just too heavy to pass. 

Imagine. Everything that the world is experiencing right now as I type this, were long foretold or released to us in that season. I heard them all...and I thought, could the whole world really SHUT DOWN?! Could this be true? I mean in my mind, I knew it could.(Partly bc it was coming g from the man of God) But part of me, kept saying,maybe not LITERALLY. maybe just in the spiritual realm or something of that sort. 
Imagine. 

The glory of that season far surpasses the pain I had to endure in it for sure. Which is why the only thing I am being taken to be in, through all of these 2020 happenings is Holiness. Holiness because it's all just happening as He had revealed. Holiness because He is God and He calls the shots. Holiness because nothing happens without Him allowing it. It all belongs to Him! Holiness because He knows exactly what is going on. Holiness because the dark is not dark to him. Holiness because He is such a real and good part of it, EVEN/ ESP in the pain and devastation. He is God. 

It just brings me into reverence for God because watching it all unfold I'm constantly in, 
"Wow God. You really knew what you were doing through all of that - receiving all of that, hearing all of that and living in all of that." 

2020 wouldn't mean as much to me as it does, had it not been for that whole ENTIRE experience! If I had backed out immaturely (before the appointed time), I would have completely missed the point of being there altogether! 🥺 

What a Good God we/to serve that even in the uncertainty; even in the crazi He was actually being kind in being purposeful. You prove to be the only One worth holding on to! 

Even if/when your entire people or community aren't with you in/on it. Trust beloved! 
God's. Got. You. 

Some definitions of holiness online:
🎈the process of looking and acting less and less like the base things of this world 

🎈Sacred 

🎈Set apart 

🎈Purity or Integrity of moral character 

🎈The Absoluteness of God 

So yes. The holiness of 2020 bc of all of the above and because of the closeness to God it brings me in to. ❤ 

2020 has really blessed me in embracing my story and journey - fully and wholly. Come to think of it, it's like the COVID19 pandemic phase healed me in some way. 

God is good. Always. Above and beyond. Amen.

Doing It Anyway

For some reason, I thought I needed to be out of the woods of this process to be able to tell the story. At least a proper one where my emotions are not in the way. The danger of doing it anyway is you feeling the rawness of the rage, the hurt, the heartbreak, the bitterness.  But I want to stay alive and telling the story helps me do that. Not for likes and follows and shares, but to simply stay alive.  Cue tears.  There's this misconception among Christians sometimes that nothing bad happens to us if we believe in Jesus. You know because God is good all the time and  Great things He has done. I'm not writing to imply those aren't true. I just want to tell my story.  This blog has been about my journey. Testimonies of God's faithfulness in grief, suffering and celebrating life and milestones. And so the journey continues.  Here's what I've been dealt with: a relationship that I love(d) where he wanted to marry me ..... and then he didn't, the morning of....

Heartbreak

Imagine a girl growing up in a safe little good Christian home. Key words: safe, good and CHRISTIAN.  I start here because when the environment in your development stages in life is safe, good and Christian, your views and ideas about life is very limited. Limited to only good things. It's not bad and I'm not ungrateful but I say limited because I had no idea how to cope when bad things happened to me because it was a foreign concept and that it was even possible to happen to me in the first place. God was my protector I was taught and I should be immune to bad things?  I look back and see trauma happened one after the other for me in my 20s and now 30s that I guess is where my safety net comes in. My safety net being how I was raised as default - prayer, Bible and family with phrases like, "just pray about it!"   Great stuff but does not negate the fact that I was raised to believe that God is good all the time and for a kid that was raised in that environment, unco...

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...
