Over the past few years, God has invited me to leave some of my familiar places and journey with Him into a place of love and trust. It has been both stunningly difficult and gloriously intimate.

I have been privileged to encounter His love in deeper and deeper ways while discovering who I TRULY am – a woman anchored securely in His love and purpose for me.

In one of my many walks and talks with Him, He told me that we were going to uproot some deep places and heal them. I have done A LOT of healing and I thought that there was not much more to do.

But I was wrong.

He beckoned me closer and told me that I had fears that needed to be eradicated because they were standing in the way of His purpose for me. I knew that but I had hoped that we could find a way 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 the fears. That seemed like a good plan to me – not too difficult – and I am used to finding ways around inconvenient feelings.

God was not on board with my thinking. He wanted me to stop walking 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 my feelings and, 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑, I was to tackle them head-on.

So, I sought out help and I crushed those fears with tears, prayers, letters, and sharing. I pushed myself to leave the familiar and, tightly gripping my Father’s hand, I leaped into the unknown.

𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒎𝒆.

He showed me that He had already forgiven me and I was to follow His example.

He taught me that He already knew that I was valuable and I was to believe that, too.

He anchored those beliefs onto my heart with the gentleness of His favour. He gave me Bible verses that were just for me. And He dried my tears as we obliterated the obstacle before me.

I know there are other “uprootings” that need to happen. He has already shown me some of them. I cannot say that I am looking forward to it.

But I do know that I will be holding tightly onto His hand while we do this together.

I wonder if there is something God is calling you to heal so that you can live in the purpose of His calling for you? I wonder if He wants you to stop walking 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 the problem and eradicate it with His help.

If there is, I know that He is waiting for you to hold onto His hand and leap!

Who knows? I may pass you in the air.
