Happy New Month, everyone! God will perfect all that concerns us this month, and He will surprise us in ways that we couldn\u2019t ever think possible in Jesus name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year has been such a wonderful and challenging year for me. I am in a season of change. God is taking me through some changes; introducing me to new levels and instructing me to take unusual steps and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few days ago, I got updates on a few commitments I had put myself forward for, and it was beginning to look scary. I started to ask myself, and God, what I had gotten myself into because I didn\u2019t think I have the capacity for all the commitments. I started thinking, maybe I should just go back to my old way of doing the same thing, the bare minimum, at least that way, I\u2019d be sure not to disappoint anybody. The Holy Spirit reminded me that disappointment comes when I do things to please people, and gain their validation. He reminded me that I have Him, and God is not an authoritarian. He stretches me to the extent to which He knows I can and willing to be stretched per season. He reminded me of Deuteronomy 2:2 MSG<\/strong> and I have written this short poem God placed in my heart (remember I said I used to write poems, a bit rusty now, so, please, be kind to me \ud83d\ude0a). I hope it blesses you, but most importantly, I pray that the message it carries fulfils that which God has sent it for in Jesus name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then God said, you\u2019ve been going around in circles in these hills long enough; go North<\/p>\n\n\n\n The heavy sigh of relief and gratitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally breaking free, finally moving on<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, God has seen my struggles, He has seen my failed efforts<\/p>\n\n\n\n I no longer have to go in circles<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am changing trajectory<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally progressing<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go North!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, the deep ache in my heart as it sinks<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eyes popping open, the sudden realization<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t know the North, I\u2019m not familiar with this place<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imaginations and thoughts running wild now<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fear, slowly setting in<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if the North devours me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if I\u2019m better off going in circles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s in the North?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The excitement of breakthrough and progression<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slowly turning to the fear of change and the unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n The North is unfamiliar grounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn\u2019t realize going North comes with new instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n New commitments, new sacrifices<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, give it all you can and trust the Lord<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the path He is setting before you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explore and discover the North<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though a new territory<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are not alone<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though fear is slowly creeping in<\/p>\n\n\n\n God has instructed you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go North!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n P.S. Answered prayer is change. Change comes with a new territory different from what you are used to, and a lot of unfamiliar concepts that seem exciting at first but can as quickly become overwhelming and scary. However, God is with you. He will never leave you, so, don\u2019t let fear stop you from going North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n God bless,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dasola<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy New Month, everyone!
