James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him!
In 6 days we will be moving. We are thankful for a friend who has loaned us a 27' snowmobile trailer to use. And a co-worker of Ken's who will bring his trailer as well. We are thankful we have 5-6 men to help with the heavy stuff and a few woman to help with the rest. We are thankful that we have some friends that came Saturday to do some of the final big packing and start on the cleaning of the home.
We are thankful that God is keeping doors shut. That sounds awful. But I feel it's His grace and mercy for us so we don't misstep. There is absolutely nothing for us at this point that will meet our needs or budget. I've said that before.
God is not looking at our budget. He's trying and testing our faith. Both Ken and I feel that He is going to open the door to our destiny. And if He doesn't, then we trust the outcome! We are both in a place - not sure if God or not - but that it's either now or never. He either will do it now or He won't. And if He doesn't, I don't know what our next steps will be. I don't know much these days. So easy to second guess when nothing in the natural speaks otherwise. When everything is completely opposite of the promises. And yet, that's when it seems God shows up.
It has been nothing less than intense. Walking in faith against the grain is the hardest thing to go through. After 7 years of being headache/migraine free, I am now having them daily. Sleep is almost non-existent. Pain levels in every area of my body are still more than I can bear. I honestly don't know I get through each day, except God's grace. God's Word says He is Jehovah Rapha - the God who heals. With only 6 days to go, we are calling on Jehovah Jireh to provide. We are calling on the God in the Bible that is faithful. His promises are yes and amen. Trusting that!
A few weeks ago the Lord told me to look up a song - Wash over Me by Brave. I'd never heard of it or the group. Didn't even know if it was Christian. The words pierced my soul and I've been playing on repeat ever since... almost non-stop. This is my cry, my prayer, my hope!

I don't even have a song
But You're faithful
My spirit's battle-worn
My heart is bruised and torn
And I need You
You say You'll fight for me
I don't have to do a thing
Just stay still, I'll stay still
I know Your victory
Doesn't depend on me
I'll stay still, I'll stay still
Come and wash over me
Come and wash over me
My refuge in the night
My only source of life
You're able
Open the floodgates now
And fill me with Your power
I need You, oh how I need You
Oh oh oh
You say You'll fight for me
I don't have to do a thing
Just stay still, I'll stay still
I know Your victory
Doesn't depend on me
I'll stay still, I'll stay still
Come and wash over me
Come and wash over me
Jesus, wash over me
Come and wash over me
Like only You can do
Oh Jesus
You're the One who refreshes my life
You're the One, You're the One
Oh we come to You for rest tonight
Oh we come to You
Oh we come to You and You give us rest
Yes You do, Yes You do
Wave after wave
Wave after wave
Refreshing
Reviving
You come in wave after wave
Wave after wave
Renewing
Restoring
You come in wave after wave
Wave after wave
Refreshing
Reviving
You come in wave after wave
Wave after wave
Renewing
(Yes, You are)
Restoring
Refreshing, reviving, renewing, restoring
Refreshing, reviving, renewing, restoring
Wash over me
Oh, Wash over me
Jesus, wash over me
Come and wash over me
You say You'll fight for me
Don't have to do a thing
Just stay still, I'll stay still
I know Your victory
Doesn't depend on me
I'll stay still, I'll stay still
Just come and wash over me
Come and wash over me
Jesus, wash over me
Come and wash over me
