Let It Rain!

"Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone." (Zechariah 10:1)

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Acts 2:17-21)

Alive

"By your spirit I will rise, from the ashes of defeat. The resurrected King is resurrecting me. In your name I come alive, to declare your victory. The resurrected King is resurrecting me."

Whenever I hear this song, I'm moved to tears. The above lyrics are so relevant to my present day life. As I reflect on the goodness of God and how he's brought me out of some tough situations, my heart aches as I flashback to my life before. 2016 to 2020 was probably some of my hardest years . Mentally I was on the brink of losing it and emotionally I was a complete wreck. My life had slowly morphed into a nightmare and nobody knew. On the surface I was thriving, my person and I had just bought a brand new home and life seemed good. But in reality, we had just had our 1st physical fight and I moved into our house alone. As I sat on my bedroom floor in disbelief ...I thought to myself, how did I get here? If I'm being honest, we should've never bought that house...let alone be together. We had a turbulent relationship, marred with cheating, arguments that never reached a resolution and a host of other harmful things. We were two wounded souls who should've let each other go a long time ago. But in all my girlie feels, I wanted the fantasy. I was willing to let the past be past, leaving all of our drama back at our old spot. But that didn't happen.

The night after we celebrated our closing, I was finishing up boxing our items when I knocked over a book. Inside that book were an assortment of special occasion cards over the years. His "girlfriend" was professing her love for him on these special days. She'd even written him a note, saying that hopefully he'd be able to resolve his issue,(that would be me) soon. She said she loved him and would be waiting. I was so jarred by this I was literally sick to my stomach. I knew about this woman. We'd fought about her before. She was a college friend he said, but refused to give me more than that. Id seen exchanges between the two that most would deem unforgivable...but something about reading those words, and seeing how we'd gotten this far with each other and she was still in the picture, crushed me. I could never fully share what was happening in my relationship, it was far too embarrassing. People would say, "hey! you got the house now, where's the ring? when are you guys making this official?" Id just smile and deflect to him. I was miserable. I knew this was a huge mistake. In my heart, I knew that there would never be a marriage, a family... hell, even real love. But deep down, I still wanted it. When we were peaceful, Id try to get to the bottom of why we couldn't just start over and move forward. I was often met with excuses, never a real resolution. Over time I morphed into someone I no longer recognized. I became jealous, insecure and a bonafide stalker. Id always thought of myself as strong, but that version of me was long gone. As time went on more soul crushing things were happening ..things that totally made me understand the women on Snapped. After another night of him allegedly working late...Id had enough. I knew where she lived, I even knew where she worked, I knew more about her than I should have. But anyway, I had just cased her entire block looking for his car. 1st lap...nothing.. 2nd lap...bingo! He must've just arrived, or perhaps he was already there and I didn't notice.. I sat in my car contemplating my next move. Do I ring the bell? Steal his car and park it a few blocks away? YUP! I had his spare key and made that an option if I found him there. Do I drive home get his clothes and throw them out front? I eventually did that...but that happens later on in this story...I wound up taking pictures of his car, sending it to the both of them, advising him not to come home. He threatened to call the cops on me if I refused to let him in, but he used his brain that night and didn't come. It was clear the woman was here to stay. A shell of myself, and literally on the verge of a nervous breakdown I finally told a friend what was happening. She recommended an amazing therapist who I believe was sent by God himself.

I went into my 1st session open ,honest and ready for whatever she thought would best help my situation. Dr Pyant was no joke! The truths she dropped on me I was not ready for. By our 3rd session she had already devised a plan of escape for me. "Escape!?" " Yes girl escape. I want you to close your eyes to what you think foreclosure is. You have no children with this man, there's is nothing holding you back. Stop paying that mortgage save your money and leave! God sees what's happening and he will take care of you." That was the advice. Leave. This situation was becoming more about me and less about us. I didn't wanna hear that though. I cant tell you what I was hoping for, but it wasn't that. I continued my sessions, him and I even managed to do one together. But nothing changed. He'd stop dealing with her for a few weeks. She'd cry leaving voicemail after voicemail, (yea, I had his passcode) and Id watch him mope around the house because it was obvious that's where he wanted to be. Dr Pyant was never pushy, but she wanted to make it crystal clear that reconciliation should not be an option. The things that I longed for, marriage, children etc...would never come from him. I knew she was right, but I was scared. Id lost so much of myself...my independence, my fight...I had no idea who I was anymore.

My final straw was when I caught him with her again. It was a year or so later and he had just had a surgery. Id taken off work to look after him...despite the challenges we faced, I still cared. He was healing fairly well and mentioned wanting to step out to get some air. I didn't think nothing of it because he had been stuck in the house for awhile. Now if you're smart, I think you know what I'm gonna say next. That's right, after a few hours had passed my antennas where up and I was on the move. As soon as I hit her block, I saw them. They were sitting in his car eating ice cream. Lovebirds. They saw me as well and were stunned. I drove home, put as much of his crap I could fit in my car, drove back to her house and dumped it everywhere. I didn't care. I was broken and that was it for me.

But God is amazing! He came and saved me right in the nick of time. Id started going back to church more consistently, it legit was all I had. I couldn't contain my sadness and I knew only the Lord could fix it. My beautiful sister in love and in Christ introduced me to her church where I met 3 amazing souls who were ministering me back to life. The Lord had revealed through them that it was time for me to leave. He promised to establish me and keep me, but the time was now. I took that word to heart. When Dr Pyant delivered that message to me, I struggled with it. I wasn't ready, nor did I think it was fair. Why did I have to uproot my life? Id suffered enough. But God was changing me, the sadness was lifting a bit and I wanted MY LIFE more than I wanted the idea of what I thought my life should be. I didn't care about how I looked to people anymore. Yes my life is a mess right now so what? For years I hid my reality because I didn't wanna hear the " I told you so's or you're stupid for staying...couldn't be me" The only thing that mattered was making it out alive. I eventually left and God did everything he promised. Although relieved, it was hard. Everyday was different. More lows than highs. But refinement, exposure , healing etc isn't meant to be pretty. But its definitely for the greater good.

“If you love someone, pray for them. Pray for their peace. Pray for their growth. Pray for their success. Pray for their happiness.”

Friend, we haven't met, but we are brother or sister in Christ. 😊 So I pray for your peace. I pray for your growth. I pray for your success. I pray for your happiness. I pray Psalm 23 and The Lord's Prayer over you. I pray the Lord keeps you strong in Him.

May The Lord bless you and keep you; May The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May the Lord turn his face toward you and give you His peace. (From Numbers 6:24-26)

In the name of Jesus, Amen. 🙏

All God's Judgments are Righteous, Just and True

Holy, loving, faithful, gracious, compassionate, merciful, longsuffering God, is righteous, just and true, and so are all His judgments, in all the earth.

Thus says the Lord God: "I will take also one of the highest branches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it on a high and prominent mountain. On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. Under it will dwell birds of every sort; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell."

"And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it." (Ezekiel 17:22-24)

"Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested." (Revelation 15:3-4)
