Upon setting my heart to hear the multiples of reasons I have returned to the East Coast, answers are being unveiled...... these first two weeks in this new year will bring about purpose and prosperity. It is a process........
I imagine the chosen people of Israel, upon the revelation they would find freedom, ventured into their "desert" with a bit of fatigue. They had spent 400 years, working and doing the same thing day after day, only to see life getting more difficult, more complicated. They needed empowerment, to realize daily who they were called to be..... meant to be.
The daily cares in life keep us weighed down and enslaved to systems that have become familiar to us. We become afraid to make changes, particularly in this economy. I remember a time when our family began scraping the bottom of the barrel and changes had to be made. After many prayers, our answers came.
The answer however, required we take a big risk.......and so it is today.
We were living with less than we were meant to live, and be. A lot had to be readjusted, particularly in our thinking. Thoughts have roots.
In returning to the east, I am reminded that Pennsylvania seems to have a poverty mentality, as opposed to California, where excess has been established. Both are extremes. I see the needs, I hear the hurts, and I am preparing to help....... please pray.
I know the plans for the next 2 months and beyond that, we will see. We have loose based plans laid out for the kids as well, and beyond that, we will trust. Shaking off those bonds of slavery, everything that has kept me tied up, and finding my freedom in 2015.
"I know the plans I have for you... to prosper you and give you a future," says the Lord in heaven.
