Warrior Princess, Heart of

even the ones of the heart. for He created us to love and be loved and to need companionship, and He will not give us the desire to be joined unless He means to do something about it. like fulfill it.

current song: Waiting in the Wings (Point of Grace)

 AFTER He made His promises to me, He tells me to “dare to dream.” He knows very well what my dreams are, and He knows I’m trusting Him to make them come true.

not only does He walk with us in the darkest moments, He brings extra matches, candles, lanterns, and heavy-duty flashlights with extra batteries. also, He carries us through the pitch black we would never make through on our own.

it was no accident that we met when we did, how we did, where we did. it was His timing, not theirs. THEY have no control over what HE does, and with whom XD

a booster shot of sorts, just to strengthen what I already have.

by the time I needed to have a chat with Abba about all this, He had already set things up His way, and knew how it was all going to play out. so right now I am just along for the roller-coaster ride, not always enjoying it, but trusting Him to steer.

I know. You do. Both of you. I know.

because for someone like me, God wouldn’t let me go on this long, while giving me encouraging nudges, if it wasn’t meant to be. so that’s what I believe. it is meant to be, by Divine Story Plot, and I’m going to let the Author Himself flesh out the details.

not crying anymore. can tell I truly did, my head hurts as only it can after a good cry. but I’m sitting curled up against his side, with my head on his chest, and his arm wrapped around me - I on one continent, he on another - with Godcomfort music on my iPod, and for at least a few moments, I will be alright.

so I went from uber high to wearing myself out dancing alone to quite exhausted to bitchy to depressed. and then I got this.

because He’s had it covered from the beginning of Creation itself.

 

He’s had me learning this the only way it would stick for years. it finally stuck.

He reminded me that even though I can’t always see what He’s doing, as long as I trust in Him, the things in my heart will be.

 my own repost. only tonight this became a promise that the pain I will endure, He knows I can handle. not “has faith” - “knows”. for a fact.

and His promises do. not. change.

I love long hugs from that one person, and it was predicted years before that I would find a person who I allowed to hug me pretty much at all. he’s kinda exceeded expectations.

 

not just by God, but by him, because if I’m wrong, I don’t deserve to be getting life signals from God in the first place.

yes, Abba, I did. but thanks for reminding me that it’s no matter what.

third emphasis. are we getting the hint yet?

see that? “adventure.” as in, a quest, a mission, a journey. not a death march. let’s go on an adventure!

even if I’m walking into a proverbial lion’s den practically slathered in steak sauce just begging for something to happen, why do I have to be afraid? the world bends to HIS WILL. He can do whatever the heck He wants, and I’m His Daughter! BRING IT!

“Keep praying. I like chatting with you, and you can vent while you’re at it.”
(4th and counting)

for safety. from the lions. You did it for Daniel, I think You can do it for me *winkwink*
(5th)

Fear: *knocks and cackles, gleefully maniac*
me: “Yes?”
Fear: “You’re mine now.”
me: *massive attack dog materializes* “Oh, have you met my faith? I don’t think you have!”
Fear: O.O “oh crap.”

I couldn’t do anything on my own anyways! why beat myself bloody even trying when He’s more than willing to take the hand-off and just saunter on over and beat THEM black and blue?!? XD

 better yet, I’ll let You do the talking. just through my mouth.

ever since my walk has gotten back on the crooked ‘n’ narrow ( :P ) I’ve been seeing Abba doing some serious heavy lifting in my life, showing me what He’s been patiently teaching me over the course of my life (cause I am so stubborn some concepts take YEARS to get through my thick skull >.<) and touching my faith so I trust Him enough to let go of things and just let Him do his thing.

because of this, an aspect of my life has come back into crystal-clear focus, and while I’m not particularly worried (I’m kinda stupid that way about some things), my parents aren’t so thrilled with the idea that they’re about to let their baby daughter walk alone into a lion’s den, practically slathered in steak sauce, with only her faith in an all-mighty God to protect her from the coming chaos.
the day all this came to light for all of us, God decided to show up in a place He knew He’d get my attention - my feed on Tumblr XD

he IS our peace. not “he gives us peace,” he IS our peace. the embodiment of peace. psh, why should I be worried? :P

 ”rest yourself in Me and know that you are loved, protected, guarded, and safe.”

because it is your simplest weapon and one that never fails to deal them a nasty blow.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power”
~ 2 Timothy 1:7

you know He’s serious when He emphasizes a point more than once.

not to say to feel fear is a failing on behalf of your faith. but to let your faith be bigger than your fears is to know that there is Someone bigger than fear itself.

my best friend just spent all day with me, half of it driving 2 hours one way to take my mother to the airport, the other half trying to help take my mind off that fact by engaging me with diverting places to visit, new sushisnacks (pet fish) and movies. now I’m sitting on the couch swathed in a fuzzy blanket he practically hosed down with his D.O. so I could close my eyes and pretend he was still around after he left for the night. I just caught myself thinking of all the things he didn’t do exactly like they went in my head or I just didn’t particularly like in general, and suddenly felt so guilty because he spent this whole day trying to make me happy when without him I would have completely shattered and not had the ability to put myself back together again. And all this while he’s still dealing with shit and crap and chaos in pretty much every area of his own life.

I’m sorry for getting so wrapped up in myself that I lose sight of just how important you are to me. 

I love you, Hatter. Always and forever and eternity.
