New Beginnings 🦋

Six months in to this new government life and I wanted to put here something I wrote and shared with a few 7months ago.

" 'Yesterday I was asked, you decided who you'll be voting for yet?' and I want to share it here.

My Response: I need to read all the manifestos first. Lol

But really.

Inner Response: I'm voting for God's will.

I see the manifestos. 

I hear the people,  

the media

the politicians voicing their hearts out loud.

I feel the frustrations. 

The arguments, 

the justifications, 

the hate. 

The hurt.

The desperation.

The fear.

For 8 years I have been paying attention. I have never been this concerned about this nation like this. I've been "aware" , just not concerned. Specifically in the political arena. Following the news, the media, the conversations at home, the prayers of my father, and the revelations -  personally and others . It's still crazy to follow quietly and now 8years later finally seeing some sort of substance to what was received all these years. I relate this to numerous texts received over the years but 3 mainly being: 

1Cor13:12; seeing things dimly/in part but with him we see FULLY

1Sam3:8; A generation of leaders that hear and obey 

1Cor13: To lead and live inspired by Love and not fear/ malice.

I am proud of the people that in their own right and conviction and will, put their names forward to stand for elections. It is no small feat. It takes courage, it takes determination, it takes putting pain into purpose, it takes FAITH. 

But I'm here writing about how More than this, we are all but living out a plan laid out long before we ever came into being. This plan by Him who calls the shots, who laid out the foundations of the earth and makes things that are void as though they were. Because He can. Because it's His plan. 

Just as I received as a teenage girl in 2006, "the authorities of this world are chosen by Me", I know, this "authority" per say, is today now coming to an end. 

Gosh it has been hard. I know. 

Lives have been lost. Jobs have been lost. Families have been scarred and we grew up succumbing to their demise because in all these years it seemed like the only government/ authority that could. (personal opinion). We exercised hope for them until it was no longer working FOR the people; or rather until it just isn't His will anymore. 

So now here we are. Finally here. 

This is exactly where He meant for us to be when He gave this power that they claim. He wants US. Always has been about us recognizing that only He can; that only He can. Only He can!

We ( as a people)  had to be thrown about with painful, scarring experiences to come back to recognize who God is and this is His plan all along. Power had to be taken away from us and cause pain and mockery that thrusted us into our knees for ourselves, our people, this nation. 

Our lives was always meant to bring Him glory. He can do/allow anything to bring us back to just that. 

There is a definite unified cry/ confessions of faith in this nation, that I hear so profoundly by Godly appointed "tribes" (or communities) this past few weeks, months and especially during COVID, and it has been blessing my heart so much - A government where God is glorified; a government that is inclusive and kind and upholds integrity. 

What a time to be alive. As I am typing this, I'm asking what is significant about 16 years though or the number 16? 

Received: 8 represents new beginnings. 16 = Double portion of new beginnings.

Hallelujah! 

Yes we are hopeful with the developments towards this election and all the efforts behind the manifestos, the ideologies, the belief system one has to stand on. But! Let's not forget the One who wrote the script.

It was always meant to be this way. 

I pray we steward His calling/ purpose WELL this new "season".
