Now or Never.... Will He or Won't He?

 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!

Wash Over Me
Brave Worship
My strength is next to none 
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

BREAKDOWNS INTO BREAKTHROUGHS
