This is my first month on this bio active precision peptide, and I am amazed at the results.
• My stomach no longer thinks it’s auditioning for a competitive eating show. Appetite? Curbed. Late-night snack raids? Canceled.
• Fat is melting off like it’s late for an important meeting. Waistline? Shrinking. Scale? Less terrifying.
• I’m burning calories while doing absolutely nothing. Sitting on the couch is now a productive fat-burning activity.

Let me know if you want me to tell you more. How much? How do I order?

What an unforgettable day!

Started traveling at 3 AM to the Nashville airport and God showed up every step of the way! Had some amazing encounters—from my Uber driver, Jaime from Colombia, to a heartwarming chat about my grandfather and grandmother’s legacy. The flight was such a blessing too, sitting near incredible flight attendants from Cuba and Puerto Rico.

And then, God moment! Got to pray for a man sitting next to me—God knew everything about him, and it was powerful. To top it off, I won 1,000 extra miles on Spirit Airlines (definitely one of my favorites now)!

Finally made it to my Airbnb, met some amazing girls from the conference, and jumped into seven hours of phenomenal training at the Knowledge Boot Camp—so worth it! Even tried getting food delivered through the 8th Power (probably a one-time thing, budget-wise!)

09/09/2024

I remember being enroute and in Mexico City, on my way to a fun event with people I had worked with, a trip I had earned through hard work during a summer job. This event was supposed to be a reunion with friends I had grown close to, and I had been looking forward to it for months. At the time, I was studying abroad, and I was meant to catch a flight from Europe to meet everyone. But something went wrong—I missed my flight, and the weight of that disappointment hit me hard.

In the middle of the bustling airport, surrounded by strangers, I collapsed on the floor and threw a full-blown tantrum. I screamed at the top of my lungs, frustration and pain pouring out of me for what felt like 2 to 5 minutes. No one came to help, and honestly, I didn’t need them to. What I needed was to release everything I had bottled up inside—the devastation of missing out, the exhaustion of always holding it together. As strange as it might sound, after that outburst, I felt fine. I had let it all out.

Growing up with a parent who is addicted to alcohol and avoids dealing with emotions can have a significant impact on children’s emotional development. In such environments, children often learn to suppress their own feelings, either because they see their parents doing the same or because emotional expression may be met with neglect or even hostility. This can lead to struggles with emotional maturity or emotional intelligence later in life.

When children don’t learn how to properly process their emotions, they might either internalize feelings, leading to issues like anxiety or depression, or they might act out in ways that don’t seem proportionate to the situation, because those emotions have been bottled up for so long.

My experience in Mexico City could be seen as a release of those pent-up emotions. The missed flight may have triggered deeper feelings, causing me to collapse and throw a tantrum. Though it might not have looked “appropriate” in that setting, it actually demonstrates a certain level of emotional health. The fact that I let everything out instead of suppressing it allowed me to move forward without carrying that burden of unresolved feelings.

There’s a certain child-like safety in this big world created by our loving God, being able to cry in front of people, and being concerned if we are offending anyone.

In “The Body Keeps the Score,” the idea is that unprocessed emotions can stay trapped in the body, manifesting as physical symptoms or chronic stress. By releasing emotions, even in ways that seem socially unacceptable at the time, you’re allowing your body and mind to process those feelings, preventing them from getting “stuck” and causing harm later.

In my story, while the outburst may not have been ideal in a public space, it shows that I was not afraid to express emotions when they became overwhelming, which could have actually protected my mental health in the long run. This expression is important for emotional well-being, as it prevents internalizing negative emotions that could build up over time.

Years later, I found myself in a completely different situation. This time, I was living as a missionary in Thailand during the pandemic, and we had no money for food, no resources to keep our work going, and people around us were in desperate need. The weight of it all became unbearable.

One day, it all built up, and I snapped again. This time, in the privacy of my home, I screamed, cried, and bashed the floor with my fists for 30 minutes. Tears streamed down my face as I cried out to God, "I can’t do this anymore… I need You, Jesus!" It was raw, it was desperate, and I felt completely broken. But then, something amazing happened.

I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit, calm and clear: "Finally."

That stopped me in my tracks. Through my tears, I started laughing and asked, "I’ve been going through all of this, and You knew?" And He gently responded, "Of course. But you needed to let go and express it to Me, so I could take it."

That moment was a turning point. The very next day, I reached out to three people to share our financial struggles. Two of them responded right away and offered help. The third person, however, didn’t answer and never called me back. At first, that felt like a rejection, something I had always feared. But it revealed something deeper in me.

For so long, I had been afraid of being seen as too needy, of being rejected if I asked for help. That fear kept me from reaching out when I needed others. But in that moment, I realized something important: we are all part of the body of Christ, and expressing need isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an act of humility. I had forgotten that being honest about our struggles allows others to come alongside us, and it creates space for God to work through them.

That experience taught me that asking for help is not about being a burden. It’s about stepping into the community God designed for us, where we can support and lift each other up. It’s in those moments of humility and vulnerability that God’s provision often comes, even in ways we least expect. And looking back, both moments—Mexico City and Thailand—reminded me of the same truth: sometimes, the only way to truly move forward is to let go, to express what’s inside, and to trust that God will meet us in our need.

In 2013, I was sent to a missionary counseling center because my leaders thought I might be bipolar or have schizophrenia. After an intense interview that lasted an hour and a half, the psychologist finally looked at me and asked, “What do you want me to say?”

I nervously replied, “That I’m normal?”

She paused, then said, “Anyone who’s paid their own way through university, earned a master’s degree, become a full-time missionary, and has been sustained by support for as many years as you have—someone who has survived growing up with parents impacted by addiction, and achieved the success you have in business and ministry—you don’t have bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. You just have a lot of anxiety. And we can help with that.”

Tears began streaming down my face. I felt so relieved. The shame that had weighed on me when my leaders thought I was mentally ill started to lift. What I had needed all along was someone to listen, a place where I could be known and loved.

I found that in counseling. And eventually, I found it in the deep places of intimacy with Jesus. Unfortunately, at that time, the church didn’t know how to handle what I was going through. But I believe that’s starting to change.

This book, and the wisdom in it, is incredible. I encourage anyone who desires more fullness in the Lord, deeper intimacy with Jesus, and a richer partnership with the Holy Spirit to get a copy. Sit down, immerse yourself, and let God speak to you through it.

ฉันจำได้ว่าครั้งหนึ่งที่อยู่ในเม็กซิโกซิตี้ กำลังจะไปงานอีเวนต์ที่ฉันได้จากการทำงานหนักในช่วงปิดเทอมหน้าร้อน งานนี้เป็นการกลับมาพบกับเพื่อนๆ ที่ฉันสนิทด้วย และฉันก็ตั้งตารอคอยมาหลายเดือน ตอนนั้นฉันกำลังศึกษาอยู่ต่างประเทศ และฉันมีกำหนดขึ้นเครื่องบินไปยุโรปเพื่อไปพบกับทุกคน แต่มีบางอย่างผิดพลาด—ฉันพลาดไฟลท์ และความผิดหวังก็ถาโถมเข้ามาอย่างหนัก

ในสนามบินที่พลุกพล่านไปด้วยผู้คน ฉันล้มลงกับพื้นและระเบิดอารมณ์ออกมาอย่างเต็มที่ ฉันกรีดร้องออกมาอย่างสุดเสียง ความหงุดหงิดและความเจ็บปวดพุ่งออกมาจากในใจฉันเป็นเวลาประมาณ 2-5 นาที ไม่มีใครเข้ามาช่วย และเอาจริง ๆ ฉันก็ไม่ได้ต้องการให้ใครช่วย สิ่งที่ฉันต้องการจริงๆ คือการปลดปล่อยทุกอย่างที่ฉันเก็บเอาไว้ข้างใน—ความเสียใจจากการพลาดโอกาส ความเหนื่อยล้าจากการต้องคอยเข้มแข็งตลอดเวลา ถึงแม้ว่ามันจะดูแปลก แต่หลังจากนั้นฉันก็รู้สึกดีขึ้นมาก ฉันได้ปลดปล่อยออกไปหมดแล้ว

หลายปีต่อมา ฉันพบว่าตัวเองอยู่ในสถานการณ์ที่ต่างออกไปอย่างสิ้นเชิง ครั้งนี้ฉันใช้ชีวิตเป็นมิชชันนารีในประเทศไทยในช่วงที่มีโรคระบาด เราไม่มีเงินซื้ออาหาร ไม่มีทรัพยากรที่จะดำเนินงานต่อไปได้ และผู้คนรอบตัวก็อยู่ในความต้องการอย่างมาก ภาระทั้งหมดนี้ทำให้ฉันรู้สึกทนไม่ไหวอีกต่อไป

วันหนึ่ง ทุกอย่างมันสะสมเข้ามาและฉันก็ระเบิดอีกครั้ง คราวนี้ฉันอยู่ในบ้านของตัวเอง ฉันกรีดร้อง ร้องไห้ และทุบพื้นด้วยกำปั้นเป็นเวลาครึ่งชั่วโมง น้ำตาไหลลงมาที่ใบหน้าของฉัน ขณะที่ฉันร้องเรียกพระเจ้า “ฉันไม่ไหวแล้ว…ฉันต้องการพระองค์ พระเยซู!” มันเป็นการระบายออกมาอย่างตรงไปตรงมา ฉันรู้สึกหมดหนทางอย่างสิ้นเชิง แต่แล้วสิ่งที่น่าอัศจรรย์ก็เกิดขึ้น

ฉันได้ยินเสียงของพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ เสียงที่สงบและชัดเจนว่า “ในที่สุด”

สิ่งนี้ทำให้ฉันหยุดชะงัก ฉันยังร้องไห้อยู่ แต่ฉันเริ่มหัวเราะออกมา และถามว่า “ฉันผ่านทุกอย่างนี้มา และพระองค์รู้มาตลอด?” และพระองค์ก็ตอบกลับอย่างอ่อนโยนว่า “แน่นอน แต่เจ้ายังไม่ได้ปล่อยออกมา และแสดงมันต่อเรา เพื่อที่เราจะได้เอามันไป”

ช่วงเวลานั้นเป็นจุดเปลี่ยนสำหรับฉัน วันต่อมาฉันติดต่อคนสามคนเพื่อเล่าเรื่องราวความยากลำบากทางการเงินของเรา สองคนตอบกลับทันทีและยื่นมือเข้ามาช่วย ส่วนคนที่สามไม่ตอบและไม่เคยติดต่อกลับมา ตอนแรกฉันรู้สึกเหมือนถูกปฏิเสธ บางสิ่งที่ฉันกลัวมาตลอด แต่สิ่งนี้เผยให้เห็นสิ่งที่ลึกซึ้งยิ่งขึ้นในตัวฉัน

ฉันเคยกลัวที่จะถูกมองว่าต้องการความช่วยเหลือมากเกินไป กลัวว่าจะถูกปฏิเสธถ้าฉันขอความช่วยเหลือ ความกลัวนั้นทำให้ฉันไม่กล้าติดต่อใครเวลาที่ฉันต้องการความช่วยเหลือ แต่ในช่วงเวลานั้น ฉันได้ตระหนักถึงความจริงอย่างหนึ่ง เราทุกคนเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของพระกายของพระคริสต์ และการแสดงความต้องการไม่ใช่การแสดงถึงความอ่อนแอ—มันเป็นการแสดงถึงความถ่อมตน ฉันลืมไปว่าการเปิดเผยความลำบากของเราให้ผู้อื่นรับรู้ทำให้พวกเขาสามารถเข้ามาช่วยเหลือเรา และเปิดพื้นที่ให้พระเจ้าทรงทำงานผ่านพวกเขา

ประสบการณ์ครั้งนั้นสอนฉันว่าการขอความช่วยเหลือไม่ใช่การเป็นภาระ แต่เป็นการก้าวเข้าสู่ชุมชนที่พระเจ้าได้ออกแบบไว้ให้เรา ที่ซึ่งเราสามารถสนับสนุนและช่วยเหลือกันและกัน มันเป็นช่วงเวลาที่เราแสดงถึงความถ่อมตนและเปิดเผยจุดอ่อนที่พระเจ้ามักจะประทานการจัดเตรียมที่ยิ่งใหญ่มา แม้ในรูปแบบที่เราไม่คาดคิด และเมื่อมองย้อนกลับไป ทั้งเหตุการณ์ที่เม็กซิโกซิตี้และในประเทศไทยได้ย้ำเตือนถึงความจริงข้อหนึ่ง: บางครั้งวิธีเดียวที่จะก้าวไปข้างหน้าได้อย่างแท้จริงคือการปล่อยวาง แสดงสิ่งที่อยู่ข้างในออกมา และไว้วางใจว่าพระเจ้าจะพบเราในเวลาที่เราต้องการ

ในปี 2013 ฉันถูกส่งไปที่ศูนย์ให้คำปรึกษาสำหรับมิชชันนารี เพราะผู้นำของฉันคิดว่าฉันอาจเป็นโรคไบโพลาร์หรือจิตเภท หลังจากการสัมภาษณ์ที่เข้มข้นยาวนานถึงชั่วโมงครึ่ง ในที่สุดนักจิตวิทยาก็มองมาที่ฉันและถามว่า “คุณอยากให้ฉันพูดอะไร?”

ฉันตอบด้วยความกังวลว่า “ว่าฉันปกติ?”

เธอหยุดสักครู่แล้วพูดว่า “ใครก็ตามที่สามารถหาเงินเรียนเองจนจบมหาวิทยาลัย ได้ปริญญาโท เป็นมิชชันนารีเต็มเวลา และได้รับการสนับสนุนมาอย่างยาวนานเท่าคุณ—คนที่เติบโตมากับพ่อแม่ที่มีปัญหาจากการเสพติด และประสบความสำเร็จในธุรกิจและงานรับใช้เช่นเดียวกับคุณ—คุณไม่ได้เป็นโรคไบโพลาร์หรือจิตเภท คุณแค่มีความวิตกกังวลมาก และเราสามารถช่วยในเรื่องนั้นได้”

น้ำตาเริ่มไหลลงมาที่แก้มของฉัน ฉันรู้สึกโล่งใจมาก ความอับอายที่เคยถ่วงฉันไว้ตอนที่ผู้นำคิดว่าฉันมีปัญหาทางจิตก็เริ่มจางหายไป สิ่งที่ฉันต้องการมาตลอดคือใครสักคนที่ยอมฟัง เป็นที่ที่ฉันสามารถเป็นที่รู้จักและเป็นที่รัก

ฉันพบสิ่งนั้นในการให้คำปรึกษา และในที่สุดฉันก็พบมันในความสนิทสนมลึกซึ้งกับพระเยซู น่าเสียดายที่ในเวลานั้นคริสตจักรไม่รู้จะจัดการกับสิ่งที่ฉันเผชิญอย่างไร แต่ฉันเชื่อว่าสิ่งนี้กำลังเริ่มเปลี่ยนแปลง

หนังสือเล่มนี้ และปัญญาที่อยู่ในนั้นช่างน่าอัศจรรย์มาก ฉันขอแนะนำสำหรับทุกคนที่ปรารถนาความสมบูรณ์มากขึ้นในพระเจ้า ความสนิทสนมที่ลึกซึ้งขึ้นกับพระเยซู และความร่วมมือที่อุดมไปด้วยพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ให้ลองหาอ่าน นั่งลง เปิดใจ และให้พระเจ้าตรัสกับคุณผ่านหนังสือเล่มนี้

Can God use what is intended for evil to bring about His glory?

1 Corinthians 2:8 reminds us that "none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." Just as the crucifixion of Jesus, intended to silence Him, ultimately fulfilled God’s plan for redemption, so too can attempts to undermine or harm a leader result in unexpected outcomes.

As President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador said, "I mean if there was a way to stop the candidacy then he's probably in trouble, but if there's no way to stop him from competing in the election, all the things that they do to him will just give him more votes."

When a leader faces opposition, even attempts to remove them from power, God can turn those challenges into opportunities for growth, strength, and victory. What was meant to harm can be transformed into something that glorifies God and benefits the people they are destined to lead.

Even in the darkest moments, when you feel rejected, abandoned, and completely alone, God’s work in your life is not in vain. What you’re experiencing now—this season of difficulty and isolation—can indeed be a powerful setup for something greater.

1. Deepening Your Dependence on God: In times of rejection and abandonment, when human support feels distant, it’s an opportunity to draw nearer to God. It’s in these moments of desperation that your dependence on Him can grow stronger. This deepened relationship with Jesus becomes a wellspring of strength and wisdom, equipping you to face future challenges with greater faith and resilience.
2. Refining Your Character: Trials and difficulties have a way of refining us, just as fire refines gold. The pain you feel now can be the very thing that shapes your character, making you more empathetic, patient, and compassionate toward others who are suffering. Your experience of rejection can teach you to love and accept others more fully, reflecting Christ’s unconditional love.
3. Strengthening Your Testimony: Your story of overcoming adversity with God’s help can inspire others who are facing similar challenges. When people see that you remained faithful despite the pain, and that God brought you through it, they’ll find hope and encouragement in their own struggles. Your testimony can be a beacon of light for those who feel lost in the darkness.
4. Preparing You for Greater Leadership: The difficulties you face with leaders and in ministry could be God’s way of preparing you for greater leadership. Learning to navigate these challenges with grace, humility, and wisdom will equip you to lead others more effectively in the future. You’ll be able to guide others through their own storms because you’ve weathered your own.
5. God’s Redemption Plan: God is in the business of redemption—taking what the enemy meant for evil and turning it into good. The very things that seem to be setbacks now can be transformed into setups for your future. The relationships that have been broken, the trust that has been lost, the opportunities that seem to have slipped away—all these can be restored in ways you can’t yet imagine.
6. Building a Legacy of Faith: The story you are living now, though painful, can become a legacy of faith for others. Future generations can look back on your life and see how God carried you through the valley and brought you to the mountaintop. Your perseverance and faithfulness can inspire not just those around you today, but also those who will hear your story in the years to come.

While it may be hard to see now, your current struggles can be the very thing God uses to launch you into a season of greater influence, deeper intimacy with Him, and more profound impact on those around you. Your story has immense value because it’s a story that God is still writing—one that will ultimately glorify Him and bring hope to others.

Q: How do you stay motivated and encouraged in your calling when you don't have consistent external validation from leadership? What if you have had a personal encounter with Jesus where He called you to be an apostle to the nations? Along the way, you've received many confirmations from older, more experienced believers. How do you keep moving forward, stay inspired, and maintain your journal, especially during tough times when you're not seeing immediate results in this season?

A: When you don’t have consistent external validation from leadership but have a clear calling from Jesus, it’s essential to nurture and sustain that calling through various means. Here are some steps to help you keep going and inspire yourself during challenging times:

1. Anchor in the Word: Regularly immerse yourself in Scripture. God’s Word is a constant source of encouragement and affirmation of your calling. Passages like Isaiah 55:11, 1 Corinthians 15:58, and Galatians 6:9 can remind you that your work in the Lord is not in vain.
2. Maintain a Journal: Write down your encounters with Jesus, prophetic words, and moments of confirmation. Reflecting on these written records during tough times can reignite your passion and remind you of God’s faithfulness.
3. Prayer and Worship: Spend time in prayer and worship to reconnect with God and seek His presence. Worship can shift your perspective and renew your strength, as noted in Isaiah 40:31.
4. Seek Encouragement from Others: Surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. Even if they’re not formal leaders, trusted friends and mentors can provide the affirmation and accountability you need.
5. Remember Your Testimonies: Recall and celebrate the fruits and victories you have already witnessed. Testimonies of what God has done through you can build your faith and remind you of His power and purpose.
6. Stay Obedient: Focus on being faithful in the small tasks God has given you. Trust that your obedience will bear fruit in due time, as stated in John 15:4-5.
7. Keep Learning and Growing: Invest in your personal and spiritual growth. Read books, attend conferences, and seek out teachings that can inspire and equip you for your calling.
8. Vision Casting: Regularly revisit and revise your vision. Writing out your goals and the vision God has given you can help keep you focused and motivated.
9. Pray for Fresh Revelation: Ask God for new insights, revelations, and a deeper understanding of His plans for you. Fresh revelation can reignite your passion and provide direction.
10. Rest and Self-Care: Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. Rest and self-care are essential to sustaining long-term ministry and leadership.

By combining these strategies, you can stay inspired and steadfast in your calling, even when external validation is lacking or when the journey becomes challenging. Trust in God’s faithfulness and His timing, knowing that He who called you is faithful to complete the work He began in you (Philippians 1:6).

Giving Radical Love for people who hate you, especially when they are close to you, can be incredibly challenging. It’s what Jesus did for Judas every time he gave him the money bags and invited him to eat with them. It is a powerful act of obedience and love that reflects the heart of the Father. Here are some steps to help you navigate this difficult situation:

1. **Seek God's Perspective**:
- Ask God to help you see the person through His eyes. Remember that He loves them deeply and desires their salvation and transformation.
- Reflect on scriptures like Matthew 5:44, which says, "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."

2. **Pray for Their Well-being**:
- Pray for their health, happiness, and success. Ask God to bless them and meet their needs.
- Example prayer: "Lord, I lift [Name] to You. I ask that You bless them, provide for their needs, and surround them with Your love and peace."

3. **Pray for Their Spiritual Growth**:
- Ask God to open their hearts to His truth and to draw them closer to Him.
- Example prayer: "Father, I pray that [Name] would come to know You more deeply. Reveal Your love and truth to them, and help them to walk in Your ways."

4. **Pray for Your Own Heart**:
- Ask God to help you forgive them and to heal any wounds they have caused.
- Example prayer: "Lord, help me to forgive [Name]. Heal my heart from any hurt they have caused, and fill me with Your love and compassion for them."

5. **Release Control to God**:
- Trust that God is in control and that He can work in their hearts and lives in ways that you cannot.
- Example prayer: "God, I release [Name] into Your hands. I trust that You are working in their life, even if I can't see it. Help me to rest in Your sovereignty."

6. **Act in Love**:
- Look for opportunities to show kindness and love to them, even if it's challenging. This can be a powerful testimony of God's love.
- Example action: Write a kind note, offer help when needed, or simply speak words of encouragement.

By consistently praying and acting in love, you align yourself with God's will and open the door for His transformative power to work in both your heart and the hearts of those who oppose you.

YOUR EXHAUSTION IS A DECEPTION

This year, I have heard so many people say how tired they are, burnt out, and exhausted. I've heard many people say, "And it's only the beginning of the year." It’s as if the pressures of life are hitting harder than normal.

After a really busy day, I started saying it without thinking, and the Lord abruptly interrupted me. With a stern voice He said, "YOUR EXHAUSTION IS A DECEPTION." I was so taken aback, I stopped what I was doing and tuned my ear to what He was saying. "Lord, how can You say that? What do You mean?" I replied.

And this is what He said to me: "Your exhaustion is a trick. The enemy is trying to make you think that you can't take much more, that you are more tired than normal. It's a strategy to make you think you don't have what it takes to complete the mission I have given you this year. Don't believe it, and don't partner with his lies!"

Immediately after hearing His voice, the tiredness lifted. I believe the enemy is trying to pause, halt, and restrict the call on your life (and mine). If he can't make you give it up, he will deceive you into thinking you can't physically carry it. Honestly, the way I'm seeing people abort their mission for 2024 is unprecedented at the moment.

And I hear the Lord giving us a warning: DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIES; your exhaustion is a deception. If He called you that means He will equip you!

I asked the Lord for practical solutions, and this is what He said:

Pull back, not out. People are not burnt out; they just need a rest. This means pulling back and not pulling out—doing away with that which is not necessary to make room for the important. There are a lot of things you will think are important, but they are not. Make room so you can breathe.

Plan rest, not resignation. Just like you plan a calendar, plan daily moments of breathing time, even if it's two minutes or half an hour; these will be life changing and will reset your schedule.

You don’t have to say yes. You don't have to say yes to everything that is good and holy; you must only say yes to what the Father is saying.

Drink deep. Drink deeply from My Word—memorize scripture, play it using the Bible app, write it on cards and carry them around, or put them on your mirror or fridge—knowing the Word is a key that unlocks the door of refreshing.

Retreat. Retreat to the secret place often; don't only do it when there is an emergency. If you do not have time in your day for regular retreat in prayer and solitude, you're too busy. Get up early, go to bed later, go to the bathroom on a break and pray—it will be medicine for your soul!

Pray this with me today:

Father, we turn our eyes and our hearts to Your voice. We reject the lie that we are burnt out, exhausted, and more tired than normal. I ask right now that You would refresh us and fill us with Your resurrection life. We thank You that Your burden is easy, and Your yoke is light! We rest in You!

Me: Hey God.
God: Hello.....
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren't a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!
God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the beliefs in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I'm scared of changing.
God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and power and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such self-protection and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So ... I'm not broken?
God: Of course Not! You are wounded - but you are breaking like the dawn, letting those wounds be cleaned out & healed so I can heal them instead of covering them up It's a new day.
